The Wedding Ring
Because it was thought and relied on that the vein in the wedding ring finger went directly to the heart, wedding rings are customarily worn on the left ring finger. Today, that practice continues to exist although recent medical technology has demonstrated that the belief is absolutely wrong.
After the wedding ceremony, another tradition is observed in order for women to wear the wedding ring. They have first to transfer their engagement ring from the left hand to their right hand finger. Sometimes, this tradition is practiced when you purchased a bridal set consisting of wedding bands and engagement rings. Both the rings and bands are perfectly matched and can be worn separately or together.
