It is believed that there is a special vein that connects the heart with the ring finger which is sometimes referred to as ‘vena amoris’ which is Latin for vein of love. This vein is situated on the left hand; however in some European countries the custom is to wear the ring on the right hand. On the other hand, there are some countries where the tradition is to wear three rings; one ring for engagement, one for wedding and the third for motherhood. Now finding one ring becomes a daunting task, imagine trying to shop for three rings at a time. Not only the task bewildering but quite expensive as well.
