I think it is fine for RHR or you could even get it to fit one of your middle fingers or index fingers. I am not married, but I do wear rings on my left ring finger. They are always larger colorful cocktail rings though so it is obvious it is not a wedding ring.
I've been wearing my mother's "wedding" ring on my left hand since I was 15. It's a cultural shape very specific to a certain part of India though...gold, and shaped like a V. I've had people think I was married, and I know others didn't assume I was married...and overall, I don't much care one way or another. 
I take pleasure in the ring. You should do whatever feels good to you, and don't mind the social convention.

Not everywhere. Norway, Russia, Ukraine, Bulgaria, Poland, Austria, Germany, Denmark, Latvia, former Yugoslavia, Spain, Greece, they wear it on their right hand. I think in Israel too. In my country wearing the wedding ring on the left means you are a widow.
Anyone can wear anything they want. I wear my cocktail rings on my left always.
You can wear anything you want. I wear my father's giant class rings because I like them. If you like a ring that happens to be named a "wedding band" by the jeweler, it doesn't matter if you wear it on your right hand, your left hand, around your neck, or on one of your toes. Wear what you want.
I think in this day and age you can buy and wear whatever you want. There will always be people that will make assumptions about one thing or another, but who cares!
Some years ago I bought a ring that was in an estate sale that is a wedding band, but I wear it as a right hand ring. It is a JB Star similar to these rings below. It may look odd to some people, but I've never really cared because I love it

So many things pass for wedding rings these days. That one doesn't say 'married' to me. The ring my parents bought me for my golden birthday, and that I picked out, was technically a wedding ring because it was a flatter ring. For an everday, wear all the time ring I didn't want something with a stone sticking up to catch on stuff. Unfortunately, until I get it resized the only finger it fits on is my wedding ring finger. Sometimes that's useful - like when I go to the creepy cobler who reminds me of Rumplestilskin and likes to flirt with me!
