The engagement ring is traditionally worn on the left hand. Engagements rings are a tradition oraginally started in Italy (not to be confused with wedding rings, which are Egyptian), but in todays modern world you can wear it on either hand on any finger. My engagement ring is on my traditional third digit, left hand.\n\nBut remember, a lot of women don't get engagement rings (Princess Diana was given a necklace and earring set by Prince Charles for their engagement) they get other things. This can go from jewelry to gowns to any other "gift" a man is willing to shower on his affection. Some women don't even get anything for an engagement, but elect to put the money to better use, such as a house or even nicer wedding rings. \n\nMy engagement ring was actually my mother's (who is currently deceased) and my fiance hunted down my father (who I hadn't see in over 17 years) to get it or something else that belonged to my mother. It's a very cherished gift and we didn't have to spend a dime on it!

Tradition is that the woman wears the "engagement" ring, and when the couple gets married, the woman gets the "marriage" part of the ring (band) and the man gets his ring. \n\nIt's a tradition, but I think its a worthy one.  The man is the one who has made the proposal and PROMISES to marry the woman.  He indicates this promise by giving her a symbol of his promise.  She, in turn, indicates that she also accepts the promise by wearing the engagement ring.\n\nGenerally, there is a time between when two people decide to marry and the actual celebration, so what fills in the gap ??  It's a time of transition and it's called the engagement period. \n\nDuring this time, the woman is the one who would suffer the most emotionally, if he would decide to bail out of it.  So everytime he sees his ring on her finger, it reminds him to honor her, and of his promise to her.  He is to remember his love for her everytime he sees the ring he placed on her finger.  Knowing guys, they need the reminder. And I'm a guy.\n\nIt's also a message to other guys who see the ring that they need to stop pursuing this woman, because it is basically a BIG HINT to dopey guys who would try it. \n\nThe wedding bands, then, when placed on each other's left hand, symbolize the beginning of the life together, permanently, as a couple.  It happens in church, in front of God and everybody, who serve as "witnesses" to the beginning of this new life.\n\nWhy would both of you wear the rings now ? Ya ain't married until you're married. \n\nI recommend taking these little steps of tradition. It is a huge buildup to the celebration of marriage itself, the party after, and the wedding night. (Very romantic and erotic, actually). \n\n(If you want just one ring, then the wedding band can be soldered together with the engagement ring after the wedding is done.)

Generally you wear your watch on the opposite side that you write with. If you are right handed, then you wear it on the left, if you are left handed, then you wear it on the right. The reason this is done is so that you can still have your dominant hand free and still check what time it is on your watch. There is no hard and fast rule though. You can actually wear it on whatever wrist that you want and find the most comfortable. @--->---

3rd finger left hand. it doesn't have to be a diamond. It could be a beer can ring pull (if you wanna be romantic about it) so long as your in love who the hell cares.

I always thought it was the left hand because it was closest to the heart, but I don't know the answer

You're going to be wearing this ring for a long, long time, hopefully for the rest of your life, so for heaven's sake, get what you like! A good bet is to think about the jewelry you wear now, the stuff you find yourself grabbing again and again because you prefer it and it flatters you (watch, earrings, necklaces, etc.) If it's mostly yellow gold, then that's probably what you should choose in a wedding ring.\n\nAnd, no, there's no reason in the world that your two rings need to match. You are two different people, with two different styles, which is a great thing, and should be celebrated. (by the way, my fiancee chose an antique styled yellow gold band, and I chose a more modern styled white gold one. we have the same psalm inscribed in our rings, which unites our two very different styled rings.)\n\nGood luck, and congrats!

It is said that the vein on the ring finger of the left hand reaches the heart directly and because the wedding ring is a symbol of true love it is worn in that finger.

Left, although in practice, many Japanese married people don't wear wedding rings.  \n\nThose who do wear them, put them on the left hand, on the same finger that we do.\n\nI lived in Japan for six years, by the way.

Band first. Engagement ring on top.\n\nBut during the ceremony you take the engagement ring off.

The wedding ring is traditionally closest to the heart, and the engagement ring is generally not worn down the aisle.  If the rings are a set, made to go together, they are waiting at the alter that way and both put on as though they were one ring, which essentially they are once you're married.  Some couples even go, after the wedding, and have the two rings lightly soldered together, making them easier to wear for the long term.\n\nIf the rings are not a set, then only the wedding ring is worn on that finger, but the bride should always arrive at the alter with no rings on her left hand at all.  It's sort of like the veil and the white dress, signs of coming to the groom with purity, whether its a true fact or not.\n\nBut the wedding ring should be worn closest to the heart, because its the marriage that is the most sacred and important thing, not just the fact that she was asked, ya know?

wedding first then engagement - when you attend your wedding you are to remove your engagement ring and place it on your right hand so that the wedding band can be put on. Then the engagement ring will be put on after the wedding band. This keeps the wedding band closest to your heart.
