Wedding rings are worn on the left ring finger because of a belief that a
vein in that finger goes right to the heart.
Why do married couples wear wedding rings on the fourth finger of the left
hand? The answer comes from ancient Rome, and the belief that a vein in the
ring finger – dubbed the vena amoris – runs directly to your heart. The
custom of symbolically linking two hearts by wearing rings on the left
finger continues today, although with significant variations around the
world.
