Are you getting married soon? If so, you might have already started searching for the perfect wedding ring for you and your partner. Before making your choice, you should first decide which hand you want to wear your wedding ring on. What is the norm—left or right?
The hand for your wedding ring
In the Netherlands, wedding rings are usually worn on the ring finger of the right hand. However, this varies depending on the country, region, tradition, or even religion. In other countries, like the United States, it is more common to wear the wedding ring on the left hand.
Officially, there are no strict rules about which hand to wear your wedding ring on. Our advice is to base your decision on personal preference. For example, consider the rings you already wear and which hand your wedding ring would look best on.
Which finger do you wear your wedding ring on?
It is common to wear the wedding ring on your ring finger. You might even stack your engagement ring next to your wedding ring if they pair well together. Just like the choice of hand, there is no fixed rule for which finger to wear your wedding ring on. If you prefer to wear your wedding ring on a different finger, that is entirely up to you!
Which wedding ring should I choose?
Before choosing your wedding ring, we suggest asking yourself the following questions:
- Do you want the ring to match your partner’s?
- Which precious metal do you prefer? White gold, yellow gold, rose gold, or perhaps a combination?
- Do you want to be able to stack your wedding ring with your engagement ring, or will you wear them separately?
Once you have answered these questions, you can start looking for a wedding ring that fits your preferences. If you are looking for a timeless ring that makes a statement, consider a diamond wedding ring, such as the Classic Oro Diamond Row Ring. If you want a ring that can be stacked with your engagement ring, the Unique Diamond Row Ring is a beautiful option. For a truly unique piece, consider a vintage ring.
