It's specific - it is the fourth finger on the left hand, because the ring finger, as it is called, has a vein that goes directly to the heart. So, wearing a wedding ring on that finger is an indirect way of showing that the special person in your life is directly connected with your heart!

I've tried researching for that before but this is the first time I've learned there's a vein to the "ring" finger connected to the heart, i guess i was not reading well (lol!). All i can recall was it's a tradition. Other people put their wedding ring on the right hand.
