It is believed that the Romans were the first to wear engagement rings or as they called them truth rings on the third finger of the left hand.
The tradition today of wearing not only the engagement ring, but wedding band as well on the third finger on the left hand stems from the Egyptian belief that the vein in that finger leads straight to the heart. Given this theory, when wearing both rings the wedding band is put on first followed by the engagement ring, so the wedding band is closer to the heart.
