Wedding/engagement Rings
27 Answers
Inspired by SandyRoe's thread about a lost engagement ring it got me wondering about the habits of others.
I wear my rings pretty much all the time, although not everyone does and I am curious why some don't wear theirs?
I know a lady who chooses to wear rings she has inherited from family members in favour of her engagement ring. I find this somewhat odd and am interested in what others think about this?

I am now retired and widowed and my fingers tend to change size so i don't wear them at all but wouldn't wear anything else on the same finger except for a ring given to me by my late husband, which does fit. I wear any other rings on my right hand.
The present Mrs Hughes never did get to have an engagement ring - we were never really 'engaged' as such - we decided to get married, organised it, and did it.
I bought her an eternity ring on the birth of our third daughter (my biological offspring).
She wears her wedding ring all the time, never takes it off, and her eternity ring the majority of the time. When she is abroad working - as she is now - her eternity ring is on all the time.
I have a wedding ring which I wear all the time - I take it off in the bath when i remember, but that's the only time.
I would be upset if my wife wore inherited rings in place of the rings I have given her, which I feel are of significance for both of us.

I've only got a wedding ring which tbh I'd have rather not had, I don't much like 'proper' jewellery but Mr R insisted so I wear it and never take it off (except when my fingers started to swell up during pregnancy). Mr R on the other hand had to stop wearing his wedding ring as he caught it on some metal at work and it nearly took his finger off, he has no idea where it is.
