Which hand should you wear a wedding ring on?
Right or left? There are regional customs, but no rule that every couple must follow. What matters is where the ring feels right in everyday life.
In Germany
The wedding ring is traditionally worn on the right hand, although many couples now deliberately choose the left.
Internationally
The left hand is customary in many countries. Traditions vary by region, religion and family.
Personally
Work, dominant hand, sport, existing jewellery and comfort are all good reasons to choose independently of convention.
Before making
The hand also affects ring size
The fingers on your two hands are rarely identical. Always measure the exact finger and hand on which the ring will be worn.
The dominant hand may also place more wear on a ring. These marks are part of everyday use, not a defect.
