Which hand to wear the wedding ring on

HOME > Knowledge

A wedding ring is a symbol of love, usually worn on the ring finger of the left hand, representing mutual understanding of feelings.

1. Wearing it on the left hand is not easily worn out

A wedding ring is the most important token for every newlywed couple, representing the most sincere and eternal love commitment between each other. So wedding rings should be worn carefully and preferably not worn out. And our right hand often moves and works, which is not conducive to the maintenance of wedding rings. Therefore, the wedding ring should be worn on the left hand.

2. Represents a heart to heart bond

The left hand is the closest hand to the heart, and there is a blood vessel on the ring finger that leads directly to the heart. Newlyweds wear wedding rings on this finger, representing a heart to heart bond that allows both parties to feel each other's love and heartbeat. So, wearing a wedding ring on the ring finger of the left hand also follows this romantic saying.

3. Game symbolism

Let's play a little game: Hold both hands in a fist shape, then align the corresponding fingers at the middle joint, and then raise the other fingers except for the ring finger to move them together. Then, use force to separate the fingers that are close together one by one (note that the middle bone of the ring finger should be kept tight). In the end, it will be found that no matter how hard one tries, only two ring fingers cannot be separated. Therefore, people believe that wearing a wedding ring on the ring finger represents that two people who love each other will never be separated.
