What hand does an engagement ring go on

The left.

It goes on the same finger that the wedding band will eventually go on.

Do you want to know a little history as to why the ring is placed on that finger?

Well, that finger, and only on the left hand, has a vein that goes directly to the heart.

The right hand ring finger doesn't have it. Only the left.

At least that's the story I've heard. :)
