Anyone Wear Wedding Ring on Right hand??

Just wondering if some girls do this, My engagement Ring only fits my left hand and the shape of the band was custom made so wedding bands dont really lay up against the ring as well, so I'm not sure if I'm going to be able to wear the band and engagement ring on my left hand. Is it Tabboo to wear on the right hand (wedding band)??

I wear my wedding rings (3 eternity bands) on my left hand and my e-ring on my Right. I just like how it looks that way and am more comfortable.

I thought that women usually wore their wedding rings on the left hand, but my SIL wears hers on her right hand. I think you can do whatever fits.

Re: Anyone Wear Wedding Ring on Right hand??

I've been having the same issue. E-ring only fits on the left hand. I have no clue what I'm going to do when I have the band. Can I even make it larger if I want to?

I also have issues where my finger swells
(daily) and I can't move the ring or get it off. I usually run it under cold water for a while at night before taking it off. Oh, the troubles......

Re: Anyone Wear Wedding Ring on Right hand??

so know one knows the reason why the wedding band is on the right left hand? Is there some sort of tradition/folklore that goes with this?

You could get a wedding band custom made to lay flush with your e-ring.

The veins in your left arm go to your heart first. So if the ring is on your left hand, on the inside, it is closest to your heart.

Very interesting and good to know!!

I really like the idea of having them seperate. Sometimes it looks like too much to war them both on the same finger. But I will look into it. Can't hurt to try some on.....

Thanks!

We're going to be wearing ours on our right hands. That's how it's done in the Greek Orthodox tradition.

That's interesting. I never knew that. Is there any tradition/reason?
