What hand does an engagement ring go on?

The wedding ring is worn on the ring finger, because according to an ancient belief a vein passes through it that reaches directly to the heart; it is a symbolic way to attribute to this jewel the task of guiding the feelings to the heart, ensuring love and happiness.

While in most European countries it is worn on the left hand, in many other countries (Spain and Greece for example) it is worn on the right. Each country has its own superstitions when it comes to marriage; it is said about faith that it brings bad luck to wear it before the wedding! Are you more diamond or emerald green? Whichever stone you choose, remember to wear the engagement ring on your left hand until your wedding day.

On the morning of the fateful 'Yes, I do', move it to the right, for a simple matter of convenience. Do not buy the engagement ring together with the wedding rings, it is bad! After the fateful day these two jewels, which are the symbol of your indissoluble union, will be able to go back to being together on the ring finger of the left hand, apart from these 5 occasions when it is better to remove them. Choose the right jewels for you, and don't forget to indulge your personality; turning to the best suppliers closest to you will surely find the perfect ring!

Engagement Ring where you put it

When you are together for a long time, relationships are consolidated; you get close enough to require, at a certain stage, a change. Here then the scene shifts to the choice of the right engagement ring to ask for the hand of the woman you love. First, a man's real big expense for his woman and future life partner, this is the engagement ring.

Many questions, many prices and models: it is essential to try to find the perfect one for your partner, suited to her tastes and personality. Today, however, the prerogative of the ring is not mostly male only: there are in fact many women who choose the ring for their life partner but also many couples who go to buy it for each other, choosing together first.

Which hand do you wear the engagement ring?

Traditionally, this ring should be worn like the wedding ring, on the ring finger of the left hand: generally the ring is a solitaire or a trilogy, while for the very young spouses it is often possible to find smooth silver or white gold bands, in some cases rings with glitter.

Which finger is the engagement ring worn on?

In most countries it is traditional to wear the engagement ring on the left ring finger since the myth is handed down that from there a small artery passes, which crossing the whole arm goes towards the heart. On the wedding day, the engagement ring should be moved to the ring finger of the other hand to free the finger of the wedding ring.

Furthermore, the symbol of the engagement ring has a bonding value (in addition to the economic one), since it means the boyfriend's request to share a whole life, towards his future wife (or vice versa!).

Precisely for this reason, the symbol must (or should when possible) be a jewel of a certain value, accompanied by diamonds or precious stones of various kinds and sizes. Furthermore, it is essential at the time of purchase to always obtain the certificate of the stones, to be inserted inside the very classic red velvet box, with a dome.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.
