ENGAGEMENT RINGS AND WEDDING BANDS: IS WEARING BOTH NECESSARY?
November 08, 2021
It’s common knowledge that before one marries, the proposal must come first. Get down on one knee, present the ring, ask your partner to marry you and when they say “yes”, you slip the ring on their finger. Afterwards, you can begin planning for your special day. However, once the wedding has come and gone, some people are faced with the dilemma as to what to do with their engagement rings and as such, they often find themselves wondering if it’s even necessary to wear both the engagement ring and their wedding bands at the same time.
In this post, Vella Diamonds discusses if wearing both the engagement ring and wedding band at the same time is necessary.
Engagement Rings and Wedding Bands: Do You Need to Wear Both?
As stated before, once people are married, they tend to ask themselves “Is it necessary to wear both rings?” While it would be ideal to have a straight answer for such a question, it’s unfortunately a question that can’t be given a simple and straightforward answer. This is because whether or not one wants to wear their engagement rings and wedding bands at the same time ultimately boils down to a person’s personal preferences. Depending on what you wish, you’re more than free to wear both on the same finger or forego the engagement ring entirely and just wear your wedding ring on its own, keeping the former in a safe space until you wish to wear it again for a special occasion.
Alternatively, however, you may also remove the engagement ring from your left ring finger and transfer it to your right hand. That way, you’ll be wearing a ring on both fingers instead of just one.
However, while you’re more than free to either wear your engagement ring and wedding band at the same time, keep in mind that there are some instances when this isn’t possible, like if you have an integrated engagement ring and wedding band. This is because since these rings often come together, expert jewellers say that they have a tendency to look incomplete when worn on their own. Luckily enough, however, they’re a matching set so it’s guaranteed that they’ll look good together when you wear them on the same finger.
How to Wear Both Rings
If you decide to wear your engagement rings and wedding bands at the same time and on the same finger, you’ll be happy to learn that there is a way to properly wear both rings. According to experts, the best way to wear both rings on the same finger is by creating a stacked look with the wedding band on the inside and the engagement ring on the outside next to the wedding ring. This is because by doing so, your wedding ring and therefore, the symbol of your eternal love and devotion for your spouse, will remain closest to your heart. Other than that, doing so will also create a stacked look that’s both eye-catching and unique at the same time.
