You're absolutely right 👍 in most states of India women wear black beads as a symbol of marriage 🙂👍
My spouse is Polish, wedding rings, engagement rings are worn on the right hand ring finger.
Germans wear their wedding bands on the left side. "Close to the heart". Single engagement rings are still somewhat uncommon, and only got more popular in the last two decades, because most germans use the ring that they got proposed with as a wedding band (and most often simpler bands are prefered).
AKA 😂 the sucker

Engagement ring over wedding band? Why?
I wore my engagement ring on my right hand on my wedding day and received my wedding ring on my left. Then put the two together later.
A recent trend in Brazil is that you wear simple silver bands for engagement, and swap them permanently for a gold one during the wedding!
In Turkey, instead of gems, gold is praised the most. But gradually it is changed to the diamond because of the ads on tv and Social media. But still gold gifting is highly held on the wedding ceremonies. In Turkey, during the preperations of wedding groom and his family give at least 5 gold bracelets, a gold or diamond necklace set, a gold chain and five 35 grams of 22 carat gold pendants. These are the minimum gifts give to the bride. In some region it is up to kilograms of gold jewelery including gold belts. For 20 years, a diamond ring for the engagement on right hand and a golden one for the left hand are given. Before that only one gold ring was worn on the right during engagement, then same ringwas changed to the left hand on the wedding day. Also if there is an engagement ceremony is held, guests give money or gold jewelery to couple. And on the wedding day it is a must to give couple gold coins in different sizes, gold bracelets, etc. and money for every guest. Anyone can't go to a wedding without a present like I say. Big or small amount doesn't matter but it must be given. And the wedding lasts 3 days long.🎉🎉
Cool
In north india they wear black beads as mangalsutra but mostly south india they wear special locket to gold chain
im brazilian and we dont do that
Idk why but there's something sweet about wearing it on your right hand during engagement and moving it to the left on your wedding day. Love that
In Spain they wear them on the right hand
This was very interesting and educational.
The reason we wear the rings on our left ring finger is because the Romans thought this finger contained the "vein of love." They believed that there is a vein in thay finger that connects directly to the heart.
My husband and I both wore engagement rings that we got made on Etsy out of floral wire. Neither of us wear wedding rings.
I hope you do a pt. 2 and talk about claddagh rings!
Wow, I never knew there were so many additional steps besides just "wear ring on left ring finger".
"Around the world" proceeds to leave out the whole of Africa
Hey, I'm from Poland and actually here ladies wear their engagement rings on the right hand and switch to the left to make room for a wedding band or stop wearing the engagement ring if it doesn't fit on the ring finger on the left.
Mangle sutra😂
Do Australia
Fun fact the reason why we put our ring on that finger in America is because it’s the only finger with a vein leading straight to the heart
Ok so let’s please get this straight in the USA folks lol. Women are not even supposed to wear theirs AFTER marriage. It was considered “tacky” to still wear post nuptials in an effort to “show off”. The tradition of the ring has lost all meaning. De Beers is the one that started this whole tradition after the Great Depression. Women in the USA prior to that didn’t wear them. No one could afford it for that matter. The tradition is technically that once the ring (if bought) is offered and accepted, the future bride wears it until the day of her wedding. It is then kept in trust in the home to be later given to her SON when HE gets engaged so that he doesn’t have to get into debt whilst starting a new life with his new bride. His family now keeps the ring until his son and so on and so on. If no son then the diamond ring could still be passed on thru a female relative but a son was more desirable and hoped and prayed for purposes such as this. DeBeers would be penniless if they weren’t able to trick hard working men to start BUYING them from their stores. If a ring could stay in the family for multiple generations then poof no profits. 💍🎁
Do more interesting countries!
I was told by a Vietnamese married couple that women & men each wear the wedding on different hands. In our mid eastern culture, we so do the switch hand thing, but BOTH women & men wear engagement rings. We liked the western idea of only women wearing engagement rings.
Personally, I think the concept of the same one ring worn on one hand during engagement and then the other during marriage makes the most sense in so many ways
In Nigeria, the engagement ring is usually placed on the middle finger of the left hand and the wedding rings are also placed on the ring finger of the left hand. The engagement ring isn’t usually expensive because it is only worn till the wedding day.
That's only one group of people who wear that particular necklace in India. There are other groups of people who have totally different styles of chain and pendant (called Thali).
