Hi
Silly question, but there are two different answers on google... which finger does one wear an engagement ring? 1). Left hand, third in from thumb? 2). Left hand, fourth in from thumb?
No idea what a pinky finger or ring finger is, so just providing the finger number will be great.
TIA

a pinky is the little finger.
i always thought engagement ring went on the finger next to the pinky (smallest finger) on the left?

concordec you are correct - left hand and the finger next to the small one !
Please support our advertisers:
Hold out your left hand.
Furthest right: thumb
Next: Index finger (the one you point with)
Next: Middle finger (the one you give the...)
Next: Ring finger (the one for lovely big rocks)
Next: Little finger or pinky

Left hand, 3rd finger (next to little finger) in England, but I think some countries wear it on the right hand but same finger.

Yes, CD, a Canadian co-worker of mine just propose to a Hong Kong gal. He put the ring on her 'ring' finger and was mortified when she took it off! He came out of coma when she put it on her 'middle' finger, which is the wedding ring finger in this country she said.
By the way, KSE4 that was a stupid, non helpful, overly sarcastic, unnecessary response. This is supposed to be a helpful website.

I've got a feeling in Germany they wear the wedding ring on the ring finger of the right hand, are there any Germans who could clarify?

Worded like you did above clarifies. But stated as you originally did warranted criticism.

Where I'm originally from, right, next to the pinky, the bigger rock the better to flaunt.
Pinky ring, worn when I'm feeling fabulous, a tiny Tiffany perhaps.
In Japan, engagement ring are meant at least three months salary of the "poor" guy.

in Germany your are wearing the wedding ring on your right hand ring finger.

The whole "Engagement ring should always be min X months salary." is an abomination. Clever and extremely successful marketing ploy by the jewelry/diamond industry, but not based on any real rationale or tradition.
