RING FINGER HAS TO BE WORN IN THE RIGHT HAND FOR HINDUS
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
From time immemorial it has been a tradition in India to make the pavitra ring out of the holy darbha grass and wear it during auspicious occasions and the performance of religious rites. There are references to the ring in the Mahabharatha and the Agni Purana.
The pavitra ring is to be worn on the ring finger of the right hand. In most of the Vedic and Tantric rituals the right hand, with which the yajnas, homas and pujas are performed, is purified by wearing a pavitra ring on the ring finger.
Yes, people of Western countries wear the engagement and wedding ring on the same finger.
The engagement ring is traditionally worn on the fourth finger of the left hand, also known as the ring finger. This tradition is based on the belief that the vein in this finger, called the 'vena amoris' or the 'vein of love,' is directly connected to the heart.
Well depending on where you live and the culture in the country, it's going to be different. In the United States the engagement ring and the wedding ring are worn on the left hand ring finger.
A ring not used to celebrate engagement or wedding. Thus not worn on the third finger of the left hand.
* Generally an Eternity Ring is worn on another finger where it is on it's own and shows up more than crowded in with an engagement ring and wedding band, but there are no rules that you can't wear it on your wedding band finger and it should go below the wedding band and engagement ring.
Wedding band first, then engagement ring. The wedding band should be worn closer to the heart, because it is more of a commitment. The engagement ring should not be worn at the ceremony or it can be worn on the right hand and put on after the wedding ring/band. & on the left hand on your ring finger. (next to pinkie)
Yes it does matter where you wear your engagment ring. It should only be worn on the ring finger.
Ring fingers are normally placed on your left hand, 2nd smallest finger. (the one next to your pinky/ smallest finger) There is actually a ring finger on each hand. A wedding or engagement ring is worn on the left.
Wedding ring first, engagement ring next, eternity ring last.
The engagement ring is generally a diamond, but can be a ruby; plain little dainty band; emerald, etc. It is the ring that the young man who loves you gives you and asks if you will marry him. The wedding band is put on your finger at the church wedding.
It is said that the engagement rings and wedding bands go on the fourth finger of your left hand because at one time people thought that the vein(s) from the heart were connected directly to that finger, it is also the "closest" finger to your heart.
I'll describe: on the left hand (counting from the thumb {as 1 thumb, 2 index finger, 3 middle finger, and then the fourth is where you wear the ring on})
