In Western countries, the tradition of wearing an engagement ring on the fourth finger of the left hand can be traced back to Ancient Rome, where it was believed this finger connects directly to the heart. The Romans called it the ‘Vena Amoris’ or ‘vein of love’.
Across cultures, such as in Mexico and in the United Kingdom, men are increasingly wearing engagement rings. Like women, the most common way to wear an engagement is on the fourth finger of their left hand.
