E-rings & wedding bands on separate hands

[SweetPea-<3]

The ring (I hope) my BF is getting for me won't allow for a wedding band to sit flush against it. And I'm not a fan of curved bands. So, I wanted to put the question out there--how do you all feel about wearing your e-ring and wedding band on separate hands? If so, which ring would/do you wear on which hand? Is anyone else planning to do this?

Or, even more radical, what do you think about not wearing a wedding band at all? Just the e-ring. I've already thought about the issue of exchanging rings at the ceremony, and I could just take it off beforehand and let him put it back on. Is that so strange?

I have a few friends who don't wear a band, they just wear the e-ring. I don't see anything wrong with it. I'm also okay with wearing the band and e-ring on different fingers...do whatever works for you!

Custom make a wedding band to go with it so that they will fit perfectly against each other.

Both me and my FI dislike the look of e-rings with wedding bands, so I've got a plan to avoid it while still showing I'm married. Most days, I'm going to wear my e-ring on my right hand and wear three stacking diamond eternity bands on my left. This also gives me the possibility to wear one of the plain diamond bands with my e-ring on certain occasions (on my left hand), but I would only wear that combo when I need to be conventional. I also like that I could wear two eternity bands or just one, so there really are a lot of possibilites to change the look.

If anyone thought it was weird not to always wear an e-ring and band on my left hand, that's their problem. Who cares, just do what you want!

Oh, and for exchanging bands at the ceremony, I'm getting just a plain platinum band for that. I'm going to wear that band when I travel abroad so as not to attract any unwanted attention.

I think i want to just wear my E-ring as my wedding band, but than it depends on what the SO gets as an engagement ring. Also, i would probably do a plan diamond band, that way i can trade them on and off if that makes sense.

While I plan in wearing mine together (or just my band sometimes) I have two friend who are doing the wedding band on the left hand and the e-ring as a right hand ring. So it's not unheard of!

I think more and more people are wearing their rings on different hands. Alot of realy large or detailed engagment ring don't sit well with a wedding band or could be damaged by rubbing against another ring.

I personally like the look of a weding set because to me it looks very married, but if I had an E-ring which I loved but just didnt work with a wedding band I would wear the ering on my right hand and the wedding ring on my left so I looked married and people wouldn't keep asking when the wedding was. Downside to that is I'm right handed so my e-ring would get bashed round a bit more which is not ideal.

Calibali- Stackers on your left and your e-ring on your right sounds really cool

Until I was 21 and my sister got married I thought everyone did it that way. My mom only had one ring though and most of my family didn't have or wear a diamond because they are hippies. If my ring was really really big, I wouldn't wear a band with it. What about just having one ring? I don't like to wear (at least high profile) rings on each hand so I have one hand free to stick in pockets easily.

I've also wondered about this, and I'm not sure what I'm going to do. I don't have my e-ring yet, but my FF and I picked out the diamond and setting together, so I know what I'm getting: a princess cut solitaire on a platinum Tiffany-style band. I'm not sure how a wedding band will fit in with it, but we'll see. If they don't sit flush, and if I can't remedy the problem some other way, then I might just wear my e-ring on most days. I have also heard of wearing one on each hand, which I also think is totally fine. It's all about your personal preferences.

What about just having a gap? I kinda like the gap look. Here is how my set will look. The band here is cheapy I got to check out the look. I'm getting the WF Danielle band.

Sorry for the threadjack, but stepcutgirl, I want you the know that when I contacted Jeff white about sapphires I specifically mentioned yours. I love it!

My mom has never worn her ering and wedding band together and I don't intend to either. I'll switch my engagement ring to my right hand and wear my wedding band on my left hand (I'm not sure if I'll do it before the ceremony or after...I'll probably ask my mom what she did and do the same thing). Eventually I'll probably get a diamond eternity band (I'm Jewish so my wedding band has to be a solid circle of gold with no embellishments like diamonds or gemstones), and then I may (or may not...I have to see if I like how it looks) wear the diamond band on my right hand with my engagement ring but I'll leave my wedding band by itself on my left hand.

Thanks for all of the creative suggestions, ladies! I suppose I have some time to decide, but it's nice to know that I'm not the only one considering different options. ***DUST**** to all!
