Still trying to get used to my wedding band..

[les12]

I love my wedding band, I really do. But, I still prefer the look/feel of my engagement ring by itself. Either ring on my right hand ring finger would take a lot of getting used to though so I'm sort of forced to wear them together. I'm attaching pictures so y'all can tell me what you think LOOKS best. Please excuse my terrible camera!

It is very pretty. I wear my ering alone most of the time. My ring is large enough to wear on its own also, and when i wear the other bands with it, it feels a little cluttered.

Sometimes I will wear the bands with it, but when a ring is large enough to stand on its own, I think it is fine to wear the wb on the other hand ect.
I always have at least one ring on each hand, and it does take time to get used to the feel of an additional ring, but you get used to it!

Pretty ring BTW!

I actually think it looks great either way! When I saw the first photos of the e-ring alone, I though the wedding band was going to be a total distraction and really take away from the gorgeous ring, but I really liked it, then I thought the photos of the ring alone looked kind of naked. Look at your post title again. Once you get "used" to the wedding band, you'll probably miss it. That said, I think it's fine to wear it either way, your ring is so chunky and has horizontal lines in it, so at a glance people will not see a missing wedding band. Just enjoy your beautiful rings! Are the vintage? Deco? Tell us more!

I like it alone. I sometimes wear just a band when I want something lower profile. Lovely rings!

I like it alone too! What a gorgeous ring!

les, your ring is gorgeous, and a real vintage ring, too, if I remember. It deserves to be center stage -- wear it alone!

I know it feels strange not to wear a wedding band, but I also know that my halo feels more comfortable without a band, too. I spent months trying to figure out what band to wear with my halo. I still like it best by itself, so that's how I wear it most of the time. I have a couple vintage and new bands that I can wear with it if I want (usually on the days when my halo feels loose) and sometimes I wear a band on my right hand and my halo on my left hand.

Your band is lovely, and pretty enough to wear on its own for those days you want to wear just a band (no e-ring). I would also try getting used to wearing a ring on your right hand, too. It takes a long time to adjust.

I vote e-ring alone! Let that puppy take center stage, it is gorgeous

Such a lovely ring! I prefer it alone. Can you get used to wearing your pretty band on the other hand?

Thanks everyone for replying!

I think I was secretly hoping y'all would prefer the set together because I feel guilty wearing it alone! My husband likes for me to wear my wedding band, especially on the left hand (he's a traditional guy ) so if I did any switching, I'd probably wear my engagement ring on the right hand alone. It's weird though, my engagement ring is sort of loose on my right hand, but my wedding band is tighter? I can't exactly figure that one out.

I wear them together daily so I guess I'm more or less used to the feel of it, but I also prefer the look of my e-ring alone. We've been married about 2.5 months.

As far as the details of my ring, it is an OEC in the original art deco setting of baguettes, tiny OECs and sapphires. I really appreciate the comments, I do love my ring!

You know, Les, I really like it with the band. I also like it alone. It has a nice quality stacked with your engagement ring-very antique and romantic. I have a ring with a larger top, and it has the same effect with the band as yours. With the band it has a more eclectic look, which I love, but then again, I like the clean look of it alone. In the end, I wear it with the band, because it feels strange without it. Your rings are just beautiful-enjoy!

I'm afraid I'm in the "like it alone" club. I think your e-ring is outstanding! and I don't think there's any harm wearing your rings on two separate hands.

 

[les12]

Thanks coati and gemgirl, I'm still deciding I'll probably continue wearing them together, because neither ring fits well on my right hand, and I do like to wear both. Truthfully I wanted to just use my engagement ring as a wedding ring, but my husband likes the symbolism and wasn't really on board with that hah. Regardless, it's my decision how I wear them, I guess I just wanted some outside opinions. Thanks again!

I think your lovely e-ring looks better solo, but I can understand your new husband wanting you to wear your wedding band. Give it time. I wear my upgraded e-ring solo all the time, and my DH is fine with that, but I didn't upgrade for 25 years.
