Which hand should the wedding ring be on?

Should the wedding ring be worn on the right or left hand?

The answer is simple:

In olden times, people became engaged on the left hand and married on the right hand.

Reportedly, it started on the left hand because that hand was closest to the heart.

Today, people do what feels best.

Where should your wedding ring be worn?

The advice and guidance you receive from us is based on 24 years of experience with a goldsmith's workshop and shop, and my best advice on whether you should wear your wedding ring on your right or left hand is to simply feel what feels good.

When I am with two people who love each other and visit us in the shop, I let them try on many wedding rings without overthinking it, because then we clearly see which hand they intuitively prefer to wear the wedding ring on.

It has to do with who we are, how we use our hands daily, what feels natural and right. That natural feeling, that the ring is comfortable to wear, is most important, I think, and should take precedence over old traditions.

When I observe the many couples who come here, I can see that it is probably quite evenly distributed whether the wedding ring should be worn on the right or left hand.

In short; wedding rings are about you and your wishes.

Questions and Answers about Wedding Rings

Which finger should the wedding ring be worn on?

The vast majority choose to wear the ring on the ring finger, hence the name of that finger.

Here at Milas Jewellery, we have also made wedding rings for the thumb, middle finger, and little finger. The choice is yours.

How much do wedding rings cost?

From DKK 6,000 to a quarter of a million, I'm tempted to answer.

The price of wedding rings varies with the width of the ring, the number of diamonds, the size of the diamonds, the carat of the gold, and the type of rings.

One of our most important tasks is to reconcile your budget with your dreams. A budget is an opportunity, not a limitation.

So let your dreams run free with us; the most important thing is the dialogue, the meeting over the rings, the conversation about your wishes, thoughts, and finances. We work with both 14 and 18 kt. gold. We have a rich selection of diamonds and other gemstones at many price points.
