“Vena amoris” is a Latin name meaning, literally, “vein of love.” The traditional belief is that this vein ran directly from the heart to the fourth finger of the left hand, which is one of the reasons why engagement rings and wedding bands are placed on the fourth finger or “ring finger.” Imagine, then, the symbolism of this 2.03-carat pear-shape ruby as an engagement ring, which would always be worn with the narrow end pointing toward the vena amoris.
