Traditionally, the ring finger on the left hand has always been the location for a wedding band. Stemming from a Tudor belief from the 16th-century, the left-handed
ring finger was believed to be connected to the heart by a vein; therefore, wearing a ring on that finger signified to the world that the wearer had a "claim to their heart" in the form of a fiancé
or a husband (men didn't start to wear wedding rings until centuries later).
However, just as the ring finger on the left hand signifies love, fidelity and monogamy, the ring finger on the right hand has also developed a code of its own. As the new millennium approached, diamond rings began to suddenly shift to the right hand -- and the multiple meanings behind this shift are fascinating.

ring and wear it proudly as a signifier of her economic independence.
