But don't they wear it on the right hand ring finger in some European countries?

Sassy, that's because men had hard jobs in the steel mills , other mills , mechanics and they would get them caught easily so they didn't wear them. that's what my Dad and Mom told me years ago
Lynette
Sassy, my dad wore his wedding ring from his wedding day in 1942 until he died in 1996.

Player #82905928, They wear them on the 12th finger of the 9th left hand on the planet Thnurgh , but the question is specifically about American culture!!
( Which is as likely to exist as the planet Thnurgh ……….,,,(joke, people!))

Lynette , I never wore a ring (of any kind) through 3 marriages because my job involved electric equipment. After seeing a young Marine lose a finger to his wedding ring and truck battery, I decided not to wear one.

I never seen married men wear wedding rings before the 80s. Were they not popular back then for men?
