Wear your couples promise rings



If your beloved chose a beachside sunset proposal, an evening picnic under the stars, or a romantic dinner culminating in a champagne bottle and popping the question, it was likely that he/she selected dazzling couples jewlery.





There are still many little moments that you can enjoy with your new matching chains for couples. What is the best place to wear your new accessory?





Westerners traditionally wear an engagement ring on the fourth, or ring, finger of the left-hand hand of a fiancée. Where can you put your engagement ring after your wedding to show it off? We'll cover engagement ring protocol before, during, as well as after your big day.





Simple Answer





Where should you wear the wedding ring or engagement ring on your left hand? The fourth finger on your left hand is where you wear your engagement ring and, later, the wedding ring.





The origins of this tradition can be traced to ancient Rome. They believed that this ring finger on the left hand had a vein running directly to the center of the chest. Vena Amoris was the name of this vein. It translates as the Vein of Love.





Even though modern science has proven that there is no vein of this kind, the tradition persists to wear rings on your fourth finger on your left hand in the United States as well as many other countries.





Engagement Rings before Your Wedding


The ring finger on your left hand is the best place to display your engagement ring before your wedding. You can use different ways to show off (and protect your ring), such as:





Some fiancees wear their engagement ring only in public


Some fiancées wear their engagement rings all the time


Some fiancees choose to have two rings. One less expensive one that is worn in public (sometimes called the travel ring), and then their actual engagement ring which they wear at home or for special occasions.





Engagement Ring On Your Wedding Day


It was in Egypt that the tradition began of wearing a marriage ring and giving it to someone as a symbol of marriage. This started almost 5,000 year ago. The circular shape represents:





The couple's love is eternal, and has no beginning or ending.


The center of the band is the gateway to love everlasting.


In most cases, the wedding ceremony involves exchanging wedding rings between you and your partner. After exchanging vows, the rings are placed on each other's left-hand ring finger.





Where do you put the engagement ring?





Traditionally, the wedding band is worn by most brides-to-be closest to their hearts. Other words, your wedding band will be placed beneath your engagement ring.





Before your ceremony it is best to remove the engagement ring entirely. Some brides simply place the engagement ring on their right-hand ring finger while the ceremony is taking place. They can then slide the ring over the wedding band after the vows.





It is possible to have slightly bigger ring sizes for your right hand. As long as you keep your ring size within a quarter of an inch, the engagement ring should be able to fit both hands.





If you can't get your ring on the opposite hand or don't feel like taking off your engagement ring, you're welcome to place your wedding band above it and then swap them after the ceremony.





Engagement Ring After Your Wedding


The majority of people wear their wedding bands under their engagement rings, but it is not a tradition. It's more based on personal preference. In order to achieve this, here are some tips on how to wear your wedding ring set:





Traditional - The wedding band and engagement ring are placed on opposite sides of the wedding band.


Reversed: With the wedding band outside


Two rings placed on opposite hands


Wear your wedding ring alone and wear your engagement rings only on special occasions


Stacked – Sometimes, a bride will choose to combine multiple wedding rings that stack. This creates a unique and eye-catching set of wedding jewelry for the modern bride.


Soldered- Some brides will even solder together the wedding band and engagement ring, making one piece of jewelry that represents their marriage.


You can customize your engagement ring to suit your style and preferences by breaking the rules. When it comes to wearing an engagement ring you do not have to conform to the norm. There are plenty of men's rings as well.
