i wouldn't worry about it. the way i see it is that, so many people won't let others try their ring on...and look how much divorce there still is... so maybe its good luck to try other peoples rings on instead of bad luck

Re: whats the reasoning for not letting people try

i heard its bad luck for you to HAND someone your ring or for someone to put it on you besides FH

oops guess i have to marry the jewelry guy now HA HA

and i get around the first one by placing it on table and they pick it up and try it on - i KNOW its not bad luck because a bunch of my friends tried it on and like all of them are engaged now!

Re: whats the reasoning for not letting people try

My sister in law is obsessed with my e-ring. Everytime I see her, see asks to try it on.....

I haven't had any bad luck...

Knock on wood NOW...

Re: whats the reasoning for not letting people try

All of my friends try on my ring and I used to do the same thing ....They always tell their boyfriends 'this is what I want' hahaha it feels so good to know that it's my ring though

Re: whats the reasoning for not letting people try

The only one who asked to try on my ring was my MOH and that was a couple of days after I got it and it hadn't been sized yet.....it fit her perfectly, so maybe that's the bad luck they were talking about!

hahahaha!!!!!

Re: whats the reasoning for not letting people try

I've never heard of it being bad luck, I just think it's weird. Tho no one's ever asked me that. My e-ring (and w-ring now too) was a gift from my DH, it's not something to be passed around so other girls can pretend their engaged/married too. They can look at how sparkly it is from atop my finger. DH gave it to ME and it has a very special meaning, I wouldn't want him passing around his ring!!

This is JMO of course, to each her own!!

The superstician is that if you are single and try on someone's ring, you will never get married. And, I get uncomfortable when people try my ring on, so I always tell people that

Re: whats the reasoning for not letting people try

oh my god, everyone tries on my ring. the nail salon goes nuts when i am there. We have so much fun with it.
and all of my friends have different shapes, so we try all of ours on together all the time.

it is so much fun!!!!

Re: whats the reasoning for not letting people try

ahhhhhhh if it means bad luck my wedding would be cancelled by now.....everyone tries on my ring! Doesnt bother me, just shows that Alex did well in that dept!!

Re: whats the reasoning for not letting people try

I havent heard this also.... no one has even asked to try on my ring... (thank goodness my fingers were swollen in the hot days...) Everyone asks to see it but no one asks to try it on!

Re: whats the reasoning for not letting people try

you kno it is funny...i always felt it was bad luck and not 1 person asked to try it on...and i would never ask to try on anyone elses...

just one of those things I guess...

Re: whats the reasoning for not letting people try

I thought it was bad luck for the other person to try on an engagement ring or wedding ring and put it on the ring finger of the left hand.
