I wear all my jelwery on my right, braceltes, anklets, toe rings; the ONLY ring on my left hand would be that from my Husband/Master; since I am single, it stays empty. I do wear a ring on my left ring finger on occassion, when I want to be left alone some nights or when I go out with a few guy friends, its safer that way and guys generally think I am married to one of the guys, so its a safety thing. I'm also right side/hand/foot dominant.
Vanilal view - left is taken, RIGHT is single. Thats why a wedding ring goes on the LEFT hand.
actually....the idea that the wedding ring goes on the left hand goes back to roman times. the romans believed that there was a vein leading directly from the left hand to the heart, specifically the "ring finger".
and the custom of wearing wedding bands on the left hand also relates tothe fact that the majority of the world is right handed. the left hand therefore does less work, and the ring is less likely to be damaged on the left hand. my hubby is a lefty, and wrecked his ring 4 different times before saying "you made your point, we're married, let me take the damned thing off before i amputate a finger!"
i've inherited my grandmother's engagement ring...i'll probably wear *that* on my wedding ring finger.
kitten, who is a bit odd
