The engagement ring traditionally goes on the ring finger of the left hand. This custom dates back to ancient Rome, where it was believed that the left ring finger contained a vein called "vena amoris" or "vein of love" that connected directly to the heart. Wearing the engagement ring on this finger symbolizes a direct connection to the heart and love for the partner. However, in some countries, like Germany, Russia, and India, the engagement ring may be worn on the right hand. After marriage, the wedding ring is often worn on the left hand or the right hand, depending on cultural customs, and the engagement ring might be moved to a different finger or hand accordingly.
