How to wear wedding band?

May 16th 2024

Your wedding band represents love, commitment and the beginning of an extraordinary adventure together with your special someone. Wearing it daily serves as a constant reminder that this union exists - yet many remain baffled at its significance; How to wear wedding band?

No single answer exists when it comes to wedding band wearers - that is what makes it such an intriguing topic! Although tradition provides guidance, your personal choice in selecting how and when you wear your band should represent who you are as an individual and reflect your relationship's story. At EX3Diamonds, let's browse different options together until we find something suitable.

Traditional Approach: Steeped in History

Wedding bands have traditionally been worn on the fourth finger of the left hand - more commonly referred to as the ring finger - since ancient Rome, when an anatomical detail called "vena amoris" (vein of love) was thought to run directly between this finger and heart. Though modern science disproved such speculations, romantic sentiment remains.

Tradition suggests wearing both wedding and engagement rings at once in an order that represents eternal commitment first and then initial promise second; creating an elegant presentation of your love story's unfolding chapters!

Beyond Tradition: Exploring Alternatives

Tradition can be an excellent guide, but it doesn't need to be your only approach when wearing your wedding band: Here are a few other ideas of ways you could wear yours:

  • Solo Statement: Sometimes all a minimalist band needs is for it to stand on its own as an emblematic sign of commitment - wearing it alone allows that focus.
  • Right-Hand Ring: For those who find stacking rings to be uncomfortable or prefer a different aesthetic, try wearing your engagement ring on your right hand after your ceremony - this allows both rings to shine independently while still signalling that you have become married.
  • Separate Sovereignty: For some couples, wearing their wedding band and engagement ring on separate hands has special symbolic meaning; it signifies independence and strength within a relationship, yet still being bound together by love.

Find Your Ideal Ring: Comfort and Style

Comfort should always come first when selecting your wedding ring style since you will wear it every day for years to come. Consider also your lifestyle when making this decision: if your job involves manual labor, stacking rings may not be ideal.

Style can play an integral role when making decisions regarding rings. A delicate engagement ring may look better worn solo while bolder designs could pair nicely with wedding bands and look stunning when stacked. EX3 Diamonds provides stackable options of lab-grown diamonds, so our experienced staff can assist in finding you your ideal combination for unique rings.

Remember there's no single "right" way to wear your wedding band; all that matters is finding one that brings meaning and comfort for yourself.
