Rings have been worn by people for thousands of years. They are even considered one of the oldest and most common pieces of jewelry.

Do wedding rings necessarily belong on the right hand?
In most countries in the western world, wedding rings are actually worn on the left hand. But in Austria, Germany, Norway and a few other countries, married couples wear the ring on the right hand.
One reason for wearing the ring on the right side comes from a Bible quote, in which the right side stands for good. In addition, people often talk about "law and order" or say that something is "legal". This custom is still a tradition today and most married couples wear their rings on the right. But it is by no means compulsory, as there are many exceptions.
At the beginning of our marriage, my husband always wore his ring on his right hand, as is tradition. But after a few strong handshakes and a few open wounds on his finger, he switched hands. I still wear mine on my right hand, though, because I find it more comfortable and I'm also left-handed.
I think it's up to each couple to decide which hand they wear the ring on. They should be completely free to decide and act according to their own wishes and ideas.
See you soon!
