Having a ring on your finger shows to the world that you have committed and promised selflessly to your partner.

So, Congratulations!

Now, you must be thinking – is there a right way for me to wear this ring? What do the other rings symbolize? Why are there so many rings? It might seem confusing at first, but don’t worry – we got you.

Let’s start from The Basics:

A ring is not only the jewelry or accessory that can adorn your finger, in fact, but each ring also carries significate meaning with different milestones. The engagement ring is different from a wedding ring in terms of design, placement, and price-point but the main difference between the two is when each ring is given to another person. Engagement is typically given at the time of proposal or when a couple decides to embark on the marriage journey and a wedding ring is commonly representing the official bond of marriage and exchanged at the wedding ceremony. The rings symbolize the union of two people.

Therefore, couples buy a matching wedding ring set to ensure the two match and look stylish when worn together. However, matching your wedding band with your spouses is not necessary. A bride can reflect her own individual styles with classic bridals, Prima bridals, 3 stone bridals, and so on, while the groom can choose from our collection of men's wedding bands without worrying about coordination with their spouse. We also think it’s amazing when both spouses choose classic bridals or wedding bands – whatever they feel fits their style is important!

In most cultures, the engagement ring and wedding rings are worn on ring finger next to your pinky finger on your left hand as it is the only finger with a vein connects to the heart (or so, Ancient Romans believed it to be!). Most of the people wear their engagement ring and wedding band next to each other, so it is completely your choice which finger you choose to wear each ring.

How To Wear Rings In And Post The Wedding Ceremony?

There really is nothing telling you that you can’t wear this differently but, in most traditions, the couples wear the wedding band “closest to their heart”, which means the rings goes on the third finger of the left hand. On actual wedding day, most brides-to-be switch their engagement ring to their right hand before walking down the aisle to say ‘I do’ so as their significant other puts on the wedding band, their finger is empty. After the wedding ceremony over, brides will move their engagement ring on top of the wedding band. Increasing in popularity in recent years, some people choose to get their engagement ring and wedding band soldered together to create a bridal set one unified piece.

There are few brides who choose to wear simple wedding rings as theywork in a job where they use their hands a lot (surgeons, physical therapist). There can be situations where a person might be afraid of loosing or damaging a diamond ring. So, they simply choose rings that does not have elevated diamonds.
