In Lorenzo Lotto's very famous Double Marriage Portrait of Marcelio and Faustina Chisoti getting married.
這是洛倫佐·洛托有名的《婚姻雙重肖像畫》，Marcelio和Faustina Chisoti正在舉行婚禮
You can see a very mischievous little cupid who is literally yoking them together

And he is placing a ring on her finger
而男人正將戒指戴在女人手上
And what's interesting here is he is placing it
這里有趣的一點是，他并沒有用
Not in the traditional way from Roman times on down where you joined right hands

Various marriage treatises

Both Francesco Barbaro and Altieri tell us that on the left hand there was a vein or perhaps a nerve

That went directly from that finger to the heart

因此，隨著時代的變遷，人們也就開始將婚戒戴在左手上而非右手
I also might point out that Faustina is wearing a red dress

And you can see in this detail from a 15th century print
