Placement Of Engagement Rings
I thought engagement rings where meant to be on the middle finger of the ring hand and wedding rings on the next? how come they are worn on the same finger?

Customarily during your wedding, you wear your engagement ring on your right hand`s ring finger so that your left hand`s ring finger is free. After you are married most people wear their engagement ring and wedding ring on the same finger because a lot of people get sets that go together. Some people even have their wedding and engagement rings molded together at the bottom so they are forever stuck together. I have never heard of people wearing their engagement rings on their middle finger, but if that is what you want to do, go for it!

Trivia: The engagement ring usually goes on the 4th/ring finger of your left hand because supposedly that finger contains a vein that goes directly to your heart.
