Verlobungsring welche Hand

Engagement ring – which hand is the right one?

Engagement ring – right or left?

The question of whether the engagement ring is worn on the right or left hand is anything but easy to answer. As the name suggests, the engagement ring belongs on the ring finger - everyone agrees on that. But is it worn on the right or left ring finger? It all depends on which country you are in. In Germany and in most other countries, the engagement ring is traditionally worn on the left hand.

In Germany and Austria, the right hand is reserved for the wedding ring, although this is different in most other countries: in Switzerland, the southern countries and the USA, the wedding ring is worn on the left hand. After the wedding, the engagement ring is often moved to the right hand in these countries, so that the rings are ultimately worn the other way round than in Germany.

Engagement ring which hand – right or left?

Even the ancient Egyptians and Romans wore the ring on the ring finger of their left hand - a vein from the left ring finger, the so-called Vena Amoris, is said to lead directly to the heart. It therefore seems difficult to find a "correct" answer to the original question. The trend - at least in Germany - is: engagement ring on the left, wedding ring on the right. Which side you want to wear your engagement ring on is therefore a matter of personal preference. An engagement ring is always a very special and very personal piece of jewelry and the most beautiful declaration of love in the world.

The moment of the proposal, when the engagement ring is handed over, is a very special experience in every relationship. Therefore, the marriage proposal should be well thought out and, above all, correspond to the ideas of both the man and the woman. There are many ideas for an unusual marriage proposal, but as long as it really comes from the heart, it is perfect.
