Amazing Black Rhinestone Men Ring

Still, the tradition of wearing an engagement ring on the left hand ring finger has stuck.

Many credit this custom to the Romans, who believed that the ring finger had a vein running directly to the heart. This vein was called this the Vena Amoris, or the œVein of Love, although modern science has shown there is actually no such vein.

Inspired by concept of the Vena Amoris, wearing a ring on the fourth finger represents a connection to the heart and is tied into affection, love and creativity.

Women typically wear an engagement ring after they’ve accepted their partner’s proposal, and both partners will gain a band once married. There is an upcoming trend for men to also wear engagement rings before saying, “I do.”

Does everyone wear their engagement ring on the left hand ring finger? 

Not all countries or groups of people relate the ring finger on the left hand to represent their commitment.

Many same-sex couples will wear a ring on the right hand to represent that they are in a monogamous relationship, whether that’s a long-term partnership or marriage.
