Early in history people believed that the vein in the third finger of the left hand led directly to the heart and the ring has traditionally been placed on this finger. The English Book of Prayer in 1549 specified the left hand as appropriate for men and women. Since that time, English-speaking people have worn their rings on their left hands. In many western European countries, however, the wedding ring is worn on the right hand. Greek women wear their rings on the left hand until they are married and then transfer them to the other hand.
Many young couples like to design their own rings.
