What Hand & Finger Does a Wedding Ring Go On?

One of the most frequently asked questions we get in our boutique is - what hand and finger does the wedding ring go on? The answer heavily depends on the culture and religion you and your partner are from. However, if you are still unsure, don’t worry and keep reading. We will give you the answer.

Which Finger Does The Wedding Ring Go On?

In Australia, we generally wear our wedding ring on our ring finger on our left hand. The reason being Ancient Romans believed the vein from the ring finger runs directly to the heart! Wearing the wedding band on this finger was thought to create a connection between the symbol of eternal love and your heart. 

This represents the deep love and closeness you have with your partner (it is also called a ring finger for a reason!). Similarly, the engagement ring also goes on this finger for the same reason. 

In Western cultures like Australia, the United Kingdom and the United States couples most commonly wear their wedding rings on this hand. 

In countries like Russia, Poland and Greece, it's customary to wear the wedding ring on the fourth finger of the right hand. This is rooted in Orthodox Christian traditions.

Which Finger To Wear Engagement Ring?

Next question you are probably wondering is - does the wedding ring go under or above the engagement ring? The answer to this one is under. This comes from the belief of wanting the wedding ring to sit closest to our hearts! Hence why the wedding ring is stacked below the engagement ring. From our experience, your rings also look exceptionally beautiful when worn together this way. 

On the wedding day, you might be confused on how to wear your engagement ring if the wedding ring needs to go under and the answer to this one is to wear it on your right hand when you walk down the aisle. This allows ease of the exchange of rings. Your partner would easily slide your wedding ring in the correct place and then you could slide your engagement ring on top after the ceremony.

After the wedding, many couples can choose to wear their wedding rings in unconventional ways. It may be worn solo, as a set with the engagement ring, or stacking them with multiple rings on the same finger for a unique and layered look. 

After marriage, many ladies dream of having an eternity ring to sit above the engagement ring to complete a full set! An eternity ring is given most commonly as a wedding anniversary present or to symbolise a special date and memory between the two of you. Generally, it is a ring that matches exactly to your wedding ring. However, this does not necessarily mean you must need one that is matching. As they say, each to their own as some brides opt to make more of a style statement.
