A wedding ring is traditionally worn on the fourth finger of the left hand , commonly known as the "ring finger." This tradition is based on the ancient belief that this finger has a vein, called the "vena amoris" or "vein of love," that runs directly to the heart.
Cultural Variations:
- Western countries (e.g., United States, UK, Canada): Left hand ring finger.
- Some European countries (e.g., Germany, Russia, India, Norway): Right hand ring finger.
If you're following a specific cultural or personal tradition, that might influence which hand the wedding ring goes on. But generally, the left hand ring finger is the most common choice.
