Ever wondered what hand does a wedding ring go on?
Traditionally, wearing an engagement ring on your “ring finger” or 4th finger on the left hand dates back to the days of Ancient Romans. It was believed that this finger had a vein that ran directly to your heart. This vein is called Vena Amoris or “the vein of love”. Wearing someone else’s gift on your left ring finger is symbolistic of your heart being claimed by your lover.
The engagement ring is a symbol of promise of marriage. When you stack the wedding band in front of the engagement ring, it is the solidification of that promise. The perfect circle around the finger of your partner signifies eternity where there is no beginning or end to the love that you share.
During a wedding ceremony, the wedding band is exchanged from the giver’s right hand to the recipient’s left hand, making this symbol of forever closest to the heart.
