Traditionally a ring on the left hand means she's not available. Otherwise, I'd say GO FOR IT! As far as I know, rings on the right hand don't have any symbolic meaning other than, "I like this ring."
Or she is from Europe, where they wear wedding bands on the right hand in some countries.
Germany, Greece, Russia, Spain, Slovakia, India, Colombia, Venezuela, and Poland, for example. Orthodox Christians and Eastern Europeans also traditionally wear the wedding band on the right hand. In The Netherlands, Catholic people wear it on the left, all others on the right; in Austria, Catholic people wear it on the right. In Belgium, the choice of hand depends on the region of the country. Greek people, many being Orthodox Christians, also wear the wedding rings on the right hand in keeping with Greek tradition. A traditional reason to wear the wedding ring on the right hand stems from Roman custom. The Latin word for left is "sinister", which in addition to this sense also has the same senses as the English word. The Latin word for right is "dexter", a word that evolved into "dexterity". Hence, the left hand had a negative connotation and the right a good one.
No, I am not that smart, found that on the internet. It must be true then, right?

I found this out the hard way when I went out with a married dude many years ago.

I've noticed that in some European countries they wear their ring on their right hand and always thought that was odd. The ring I wear on my right hand was given to me by my parents years ago.
