Where Should You Wear a Solitaire Ring?

The Solitaire ring is traditionally worn on the left ring finger, as it is believed that this hand experiences less wear and tear, keeping the ring protected.
According to ancient tradition, the “vena amoris” Latin for “vein of love” runs directly from the left ring finger to the heart, making it the ideal place for a ring that symbolizes true love.

Wedding Band or Solitaire: Which One Comes First?

The lasting bond of marriage is symbolized by wearing both the wedding band and the Solitaire ring together.
The general rule is to wear the wedding band first, as it represents the deepest and most enduring part of the union. The engagement ring, often more eye-catching and set with diamonds, is worn just above it.

The visual effect of the two rings on the same finger is refined and elegant.
However, if the styles don’t match perfectly, you can wear the Solitaire on the right hand’s ring finger.
