Non-traditional wearing of rings

Reasie, on November 10, 2020 at 11:47 PM

Posted in Etiquette and Advice 25

Do any of you wear your engagement ring on your right hand? I really can't stand being told which hand I should wear my ring due to "traditions" and "insecurities". I like wearing mine on my right hand because I am right-handed and love it being the center of attention when it is spotted by others....

I like wearing mine on my right hand because I am right-handed and love it being the center of attention when it is spotted by others. Also, the theory of it being a tradition based on the "vein from the heart runs down to the ring finger of the left hand" is bogus. Veins from the heart runs down into each finger. :-)

Am I being etiquette-incorrect or does it really matter? I think some traditions should be tweaked a little because I plan to wear my entire wedding set on my right hand as well. LOL

    Thanks for your reply. You'd be surprised who "cares" about how I wear my ring. Traditionalist (family and friends) can be so nit-picky. I wear it the way I want and thought this would be a good topic to see if others are breaking down traditional norms. Smiley smile

    Omg that would shock me to. When I became an adult I thought that the second you had a ring on your finger nobody would try and hit on you. I've learned through my life that nothing stops disgusting people from hitting on you. I've been hit on with my fiance being right there and us being all over each other. It's like seriously you see me kissing my fiance and rubbing his back and you think that it's good to hit on me.

    My husband has his ring on his left hand, and me on my right hand, cause that's the tradition in or 2 countries... So everyone should wear it his/her way !
