Where do you wear your rings?

Ok...this is a silly but interesting Question, I think!
Where do you wear your wedding band and where do you wear your engagement ring?
I have worn mine both on my left hand, they are not the kind that actually fit into one another but for some reason I don't feel comfortable with them anywhere else.
If you want to...explain why you wear it on that hand. For example: I have heard some women wear it on their left because it is closest to the heart. or maybe its for religious reasons?
Oh and one more ?
Does your DH wear his at all??
I don't understand why they wouldn't wear it at all but I do see it all the time.

Re: Where do you wear your rings?

My DH wears his all the time. In fact the other day he left the house without it and he called and asked me if I could bring it to him at work. So cute. I wear both of mine on my left finger & they don't fit perfectly together either but I wouldn't wear them any other way. Sometimes I don't wear my engagement ring to work and I also love the way my wedding ring looks by itself.

Re: Where do you wear your rings?

My DH husband wears his any time he goes out, when he is around the house he doesn't. I always wear both of them on my left hand. If you wear your wedding band on your right hand it often symbolizes that you are a widow.

Re: Where do you wear your rings?

I wear both on my left hand together. I take my e-ring off at night when I sleep but I leave my wedding band on. DH leaves his on at all times.

Re: Where do you wear your rings?

one of the prongs in the Tiffany setting on my e-ring is clinking against one of the diamonds in my w-ring. I need to get a new setting… so until then, I am wearing my e-ring on my right hand. I didn’t like it at first but I have to say, I kind of like having bling on both hands!

but, my preference is to wear them both together.

my DH wears his w-ring everyday

Re: Where do you wear your rings?

DH always wears his. I have both on my left hand. I will also just wear my wedding band solo if I go to the beach or somewhere I could loose it. I do take all rings and jewlery off as soon as I get home. Its my thing.

Re: Where do you wear your rings?

I wear both on left, DH wears his each day.

I heard in Europe the norm is wear wedding bands on the right hand. I am not sure of the origin of why we wear it on the left, I heard that it was because there is a blood line in your left hand that leads directly to your heart.

that's an ancient Egyptian belief. obviously modern medicne proved that it's not true, but I think it's sweet that the tradition has carried on for so long

Re: Where do you wear your rings?

E-ring on the right, wedding ring on the left. I planned it that way. I don't like jewelry on my left hand. I am left handed. So, I got a thin wedding band that I don't really notice and that is the only thing I wear on the left.

Re: Where do you wear your rings?

E-ring and my wedding band on the left hand.

My mother's wedding band (which was the actual ring I used in my ceremony) I wear on the right hand.
