Wearing an engagement ring on the ring finger is necessary. When this fact is on a hand, it will be dependent on the conventional tradition. So, for example, the Slavic peoples, as well as residents of Greece, Spain, Colombia, Norway, India wear it on the right hand. While in many Western cultures, for example, in the US population, Italy and France, the UK and Sweden decided to wear this ring on his left hand. On the same hand wear engagement rings and Japanese. There are also countries in which the choice of hand depends on religion or region of residence. Notable examples of this - Belgium and the Netherlands.
On the day of the wedding engagement ring is removed, and the engagement ring takes its place. The fate of the ring can be different. Undoubtedly, it is necessary to keep life. However, in some families, it becomes an heirloom that is passed down from generation to generation. In this case, when your son will offer to conclude a marriage bond of his beloved, he can give her a ring that you took on the engagement of her husband.
Many women continue to wear an engagement ring and after the wedding. Some wear it on the ring finger of his left hand. Others, however, if it is in harmony with the wedding ring - wear them on the same finger. An interesting variation may be double rings which may be worn alone or fasten together.
