I have 3 diamond rings that I wear and I only wear one at a time either on my left hand middle finger or my right hand ring finger. Technically I only have one solitaire but I still wear it on my left hand middle finger. What I've decided is that if a man is deterred/intimidated by my rings then he certainly won't be able to deal with my career (physician), my independence, or my personality in general. So I kind of look at my bling as a screening tool

No one has to heed to societal norms, so I don't think that this isn't really about that. It's about the messages associated with diamond rings (in our society). Certain styles of diamond rings are meant to signify that a person is no longer single. Anyone can choose to wear whatever they want to - as long as they are ok with the messages that might be associated with them. If I saw a woman wearing what looked like a wedding ring, then my assumption would be that they were engaged and/or married. Likewise, if I saw a man in a construction hat & work boots, my assumption would be that he works on a construction site.
