This particular question “which hand is the engagement ring worn on” is a very common one. Both male and female ask this. Obviously he needs to know for the proposal and you need to know if he is getting it wrong ? Different cultures have different fingers for the ring to be worn. In the US and UK the engagement ring is worn on the left hand, right finger. In other countries such as Poland and many eastern European countries the engagement ring is typically worn on the right hand.


In Germany the engagement ring jumps hands. While engaged the ring is worn on the left hand but after the big wedding day the ring is carried to the right hand. Men can also wear engagement rings and in fact men’s engagement rings are becoming very popular. In some cultures if a man is wearing an engagement ring it would be assumed
that the wedding has already taken place. In the US and UK men wear engagement rings just like their partners and tend to be matching. Not matching as in identical but the band will be similar. Men’s engagement rings tend to have the diamond or diamonds encrusted into the band while the ladies engagement ring is raised and prominent.


So the question “which hand is the engagement ring worn on” is also a question that men need to know for their own ring. The answer is left generally, the same as his partner. As engagement rings for men are growing in popularity it is not the same in all cultures. The question in many countries is “should men wear engagement rings”. My opinion is as follows, if a man wears an engagement ring it’s purely down to the individual. I think it’s cute and shows his feelings openly for his wife to be.
