You might be wondering if there’s symbolism and traditions behind where you wear your ring. To answer your question briefly… yes, there is! It’s common in the United States to wear rings related to marriage, like promise, engagement or wedding rings, on your left ring finger. But once you dive deeper into the history behind rings, you’ll find all sorts of traditions that will help you style rings in a brand new way.
First things first, let’s talk about the difference between left hand and right hand rings.
Left Hand Rings or Right Hand Rings?
Does it matter which hand you wear your rings on? However you decide to style your rings is up to you, but there are definitely some things you should consider when choosing left or right.
Style rings on your non-dominant hand while you’re working. That way, you don’t have to worry about the daily grind scratching up your rings. For most people, your right hand is dominant, so dress up your left hand with some sparkle. If you are a leftie, don’t feel left out! You can wear your rings on your right hand, just as proudly.
Really, it doesn’t matter which side you choose, as long as you choose what makes you most comfortable. Every ring feels a little different, but eventually, you’ll find the right fit.
