What finger does an engagement ring go on?

Answer by  toni02 (73)

It is tradition in the United States to wear an engagement ring, as well as a wedding band, on the left third, or "ring" finger. Normally, once married, many people will wear both rings, referred to as a wedding set, on the left third finger. Hopefully this answers your question, and if you're the one wearing it, congratulations!

An engagement ring goes on the same finger that the wedding ring does, the left ring finger. Most of the time when people get married (at least for the woman), the wedding band will be soldered to the engagement ring and they will be worn together on the left ring finger.

Tradition dictates that the engagement ring goes on your left hand, next to your pinkie finger. This is true for most Western countries, however there may be some countries that customarily uses the right hand or another finger. The left ring finger has always been believed to lead directly to the heart, hence the tradition of wearing the ring there.
