Best Answer

The Laws of the Game prohibit jewelry (though many players can be seen to wear it in a match). Tape over a wedding band allows a player to honor a spouse while at the same time honoring the Laws of the Game and the Referee. The ring stays on, the tape covers it, and respect is preserved in a situation where acting in an honorable way might seem to present choices that appear to be mutually exclusive.

What finger do you wear a ring?

The common custom is to wear an abstinence ring on the ring finger of the left hand although some seem to wear on the ring finger of the right hand. The ring finger is the fourth digit of the human hand, located between the middle finger and the little finger. Commonly, the ring finger of the left hand is reserved for engagement rings and marriage bands, thus, the abstinence ring is differentiated from these by symbols and markings. It is also placed on this finger in order to ward off people looking for a good time; seeing the ring they assume you are married and may perhaps move on to find another person.

What does it mean when a woman wears a diamond ring on her right ring finger?

Answer Well as far as I know it means nothing unless there is some religion or culture that I am not familiar with that does that. For a long time I wore a diamond ring that was my grandmother's on my right ring finger. It was amazing the number of people who thought I was married. I thought it was fairly common knowledge that in the US the wedding ring/engagement ring goes on the left ring finger. Some women just like diamond rings and they will wear them on the right ring finger if they are single. After a divorce or the death of their husband, some women wear their wedding rings on their right ring finger.
