The meaning of wearing Couple Jewelry Sets
Once you have decided which finger you want to wear your rings, you need to know the size of your rings. It is possible to define the size using the ring sizer. You can also visit your jeweler with a ring that suits your needs to determine the size of your ring and thus make an individual band.
Choose the hand that you feel most comfortable in when you wear your ring daily. Depending on the culture you belong to and location, certain rings that signify milestones are often matched to one particular hand. For instance, in the majority of Western (Christian) countries it is commonplace to wear your engagement ring on the left and move it to the right before the wedding.
The wedding ring is then worn on the left. Many married women prefer to wear the wedding ring and engagement ring together, on the left hand.
If you want to wear a different ring in addition to your wedding ring as well as your engagement ring, it is possible to wear it on the same hand or on the other. An eternity ring, for instance, is worn on the same hand.
If an Chinese partner wears their wedding engagement ring to the left, this indicates that they want more from their marriage than what they give.
The two rings can be worn with the engagement ring of the deceased partner set behind the widow. The jeweler can also alter the two rings into a widow's ring.

Frequently asked questions
The engagement ring: which hand to wear it on?
In many Western cultures people wear both the engagement ring as well as the wedding rings on their left finger. As a Christian, you can also wear the engagement ring on your left hand, and the wedding ring on your right hand. In countries with an Islamic culture the hand where rings are worn on varies between countries. In Jordan Muslims wear their wedding ring on their right hand. In Iran they prefer wearing them on their left hand.
How should you dress for an engagement ring and wedding ring?
In many Western cultures, the engagement ring is usually worn on the finger of the left hand. It was once believed that this finger was directly linked to the heart via the "vein of love". In some countries, prior to marriage, the engagement ring is moved to the middle finger on the left hand to make room for wedding rings. In our country, the majority of people wear both rings on their left hand, though some prefer to put the wedding band on the finger that holds the ring of their right hand.
What size is my ring? What size ring is best for me?
There are a myriad of ways to measure the size of your ring. You could, for instance take measurements of the size of a ring you already have. You can also measure the circumference using an elastic band wrapped around your finger. Take the measurement preferably in the evening, but not after eating salty foods or drinking hot beverages. Exercising that is strenuous could cause your finger to swell. Pregnancy can cause swelling.
