So, I've got an awkward shaped engagement ring but really didn't want a shaped wedding ring, So I've got one to try out. It's only a 2mm band and because I don't have a lot of finger space and a marquise stone it doesn't really sit well.


But then I tried it round the other way and I think it does it look better, it's more comfortable too.


H2B likes it the classic way better so I'm kinda torn. I'd kind of prefer to wear it the classic way so I don't get people going derpaderpaderpa your're wearing your rings the wrong way round.

What do yous think?

Now with poll!

Forum Poll

i prefer it the traditional way
x

It looks good either way but its up to you, maybe go traditional for the day and change it after? x

Right, added a poll now. I do like both. I'll have to try them both out for a while and see which way sways me lol

lol well i jsut voted and 3 of them on 33% that could be fun for u to decide between them lol xx

I much prefer the traditional way, but at the end of the day it is whichever way you feel more comfy wearing it.

Thank you GC2B :)

I suppose there's no saying I can't switch it around when/if I want to. The other option is wearing them on separate hands, but I don't know how I feel about that one!

I voted unsure; I don't like the wedding band on top of the e-ring, but, there's a bigger gap the classic way.

What is it about shaped rings you don't like? I asked because IMPO your best option would be to have one made with a slight cut in it, so that they fit together perfectly. You can always then get a plain band as well (I'm doing this: a custom-made shaped-to-fit diamond band to wear with my e-ring, but also a plain band to wear when I'm not wearing my e-ring). But, I do much prefer bands to sit flush.

I voted for "better way" as you say it is more comfortable for you. I don't think there is a right or a wrong way to wear your rings. I wear mine in the order that I was given them, so I have my engagement ring first, as it makes more sense to me than the "traditional" way of wearing them.

You might want to consider doing what they do in mainland Europe - swap the engagement ring to your right hand on your weding day and just have your wedding band on your left hand.

Button-Bell: it's worth getting quotes. I'm having a custom-made band for no more than a standard band would cost on the high-street :-)

I have mine 'the better way' as it just looks better that way with mine:



Personally, I think it's a personal preference thing, but then I'm in no way a traditionalist :)

They look good the classic way x

I actually prefer how the classic way looks so voted for that xx
