Revealed: Strange Wedding and Engagement Superstitions

It Don’t Mean a Thing If It Ain’t Got That Ring

The reason that engagement and wedding rings are worn on the fourth finger of the left hand because it was thought a long time ago that the vein in that finger led directly to the heart. It is quite a romantic tradition! While brides in different cultures often will wear the ring on their right hand, most sport it on the left.

Around 70 percent of brides wear their ring on the fourth finger of the left hand. Every year, seven tons of gold are turned into wedding rings in the United States, making gold the most popular precious metal of choice for wedding rings.
