I recently inherited a platinum and diamond wedding ring worn by my great aunt, who was married sometime in the 1940s. It's engraved with her name on the inside and it's really pretty, but the only finger it will fit on is my right middle finger. I'm not married, so is it proper to wear it this way? I've never worn diamonds on my hand before, but I think I could get used to the idea

The ring was given to you by your great aunt so that you could remember her. I think she would be happier knowing that you are wearing it than not.

If you feel comfiable wearing it that way then do it. There are no rules in relation to wearing jewellery (except for maybe go for what suits you and don't overdo it). I think that your aunt would be happy to know that you value what she has left you and that you get enjoyment out of it.

HI: I have no doubt the ring will look beautiful on any finger you choose to wear it. How wonderful for you! Merry Christmas--Sharon "People who possess great qualities, do not need to show off". |

How lovely! The only rule about rings is that in the U.S. if you wear a ring on the ring finger of your left hand people will think you're taken. All the other 9 fingers are up for grabs!

Wear the ring on any fingers you want. Forget the rules (not that there is really any rules).

Here is a picture, sorry about the poor quality. It has round diamonds along the top, which taper down to smaller diamonds about halfway around. It has some very small milgrain along the edges that you can't see in the photo. It's very thin along the back. I'm speculating that she may have had it resized at some point. I know platinum is not supposed to "wear" like gold, but is there any chance I am doing damage to this ring by wearing it?

Oh, that's so pretty! And how nice that you can think of your great aunt every time you wear it!

I think it's lovely! I'm sure you're not damaging it while wearing it, just adding to its character :)

Beautiful ring! I think you're really lucky to have inheirited a family ring and definely should wear and enjoy it. It'd be sad to leave it locked up in a jewery box.
