Question
I am interested in wearing more rings, but I am hesitant to wear anything on my left ring finger, and I don't like the appearance of jewels on my middle finger.  Is it acceptable for me to wear jewels on my left ring finger even if I'm not engaged or married?  

Answer
Dear Kathleen,
 Please wear the ring or rings on any finger that you
wish. Yes,there is a traditional assumption that goes
along with rings on 'that finger',but as long as you
are fine with it,everyone else will be too.
