Why Do Wedding Bands Go On The Left Ring Finger?

By Lina Esways


For centuries, men and women have worn rings on their left hand, third finger down to signify their relationship status. They are either married or spoken for, so you best not try to intrude on their relationship. Many wonder where the tradition started though. Why a ring at all? Why on the third finger? Why not the right hand?

It can take some time for some to grow into the idea, but it does come eventually. With it comes a lot of worry and a lot of speculation as to what makes the right girl.

The tradition of wearing the wedding ring on the left hand goes as follows, before medical science fully figured out the anatomy of the body, it was commonly understood that the third finger on the left hand contained an artery. The artery is important because it represents a major pathway from the heart.

Some want their spouse to be intelligent and beautiful. Others care more about how the person cares for other people.

Put a ring around that artery and it firmed up the marriage forever. The left hand was chosen because it was just slightly closer to the heart than the right.

That's what the word brilliance refers to: the stones ability to reflect light out of the right places. The effect is the diamond's sparkle.

Some choose to wear the ring on the index or middle fingers. Others decide to keep it on the ring finger, only on the right hand.

Only the best food and the finest decorations are to be used. The theme of the wedding and reception must match perfectly with the image your bride to be is imagining in her mind.

Just as any time honored tradition, the truth of this tradition can only be speculated from stories passed down. In America, the tradition seems to have changed slightly over the years.

Every bride has a very specific idea in mind for the colors she will use in her wedding. These colors are hardly ever your simple greens, blues and purples.

The engagement ring is usually fancier than the wedding band itself. Normally set with at least a solitary rock in a prong (diamond usually), fashion has grown to include several smaller diamonds along the band.

A majority of light is lost through the sides. There's still enough to give a few sparkles here and there, just not enough to really make it shine. In terms of cost, these are less expensive than the good quality and are more common. Finally, the last is the poor quality.

Many young couples are unwilling to spend that much on an engagement ring and stick with the single stone instead. That is the engagement ring, and it is incomplete on its own. The wedding band is usually an addition to complete the engagement. It is usually sautered on once the wedding is complete.

She doesn't need a fix and she doesn't need advice. What she needs is your comfort and support. Help her by being there for her. Your Las Vegas wedding will still be stressful, but you will strengthen your relationship during this time as opposed to compromising it.
