Another option I've seen is just wearing the e-ring on your left and have your hubby take it off, put the wedding ring on, then put the e-ring back on. It looks beautiful when done and I think that's what we will opt to do.

oh my gosh! I've never heard of anyone doing that but I LOVE that idea--it seems so intimate to me for some reason. I think I need to talk to DF about doing that and see what he thinks!

I wore my e-ring on my left ring finger until the ceremony and right before I walked down the aisle, I switched it over to the right ring finger for the ceremony itself. DH placed the wedding band on left ring finger and after the ceremony, I switched the e-ring back to the left ring finger on top of the wedding band. :love:

Normally I wear my e-ring first and then my wedding band, but that's only because the e-ring is a little too big, while the band fits perfectly.
During the ceremony I wore my e-ring on the other hand so that my fiancee could put the band without any problem. Now I wear them together.

Just thought I would mention this to show that different religions have different customs. In a Jewish ceremony, the ring (a plain gold band) is placed on the index finger. When I married (LOOOONG ago) I wore my grandmother 's (who had passed away) ring because my wedding band had diamonds. Below is what the reaon is.
The reason goes back to the time of the Talmud and the differences in beliefs at that time about which finger is closer or more direct to the heart! Christianity taught the ring finger; Judaism taught the index finger. Of course the heart is essentially in the middle anyway.

I wore my E-ring on my right had for the wedding ceremony, and still wear it there, as the stone is quite large (the stone is a 4.82 ct. Iolite), and the setting does not sit well against my W-ring, which is a fairly wide, thick band.

thank you all for your responses! :heart: i never knew that the e-ring should be worn on the right hand ... doesnt that conflict with the whole rhr thing? i'd feel odd wearing it not on my left.
Lori - thats exactly something i would do so im trying to ask as many 'wedding' questions now :p

Pippi - that makes sense ... ive seen some e-rings that couldnt work with another band so i guess thats the thing to do.

On the day of the wedding, I wore my engagement ring on my right hand. After the ceremony (not that very instant), once the wedding band was on my left hand, I moved my engagement ring over to my left hand so that it now sat on top of my wedding band.

There are no more "rules" unless you subscribe to a custom (i.e. religious, heritige or 'wedding band closest to your heart'). And if so, then you already have your answer. I think it's all about what you prefer and what works for you. Not all rings fit together, and not everyone has seperate e-ring/wedding band.

I have decided that when I get married, I will move my e-ring to my right hand and wear my wedding band alone on the left. My e-ring is not suited to a band accompanying it. And I love having a new ring to symbolize our committment to each other. This way I can wear both nicely.

i know this is an odd question to ask, but i notice it varies on the wearer.

for instance, when i first got married, with my first e-ring/wedding band (that were lost a year and a half after we were married), i wore the e-ring closest to my heart and the band on the outside. i have always heard it's the other way around—wedding band closest to your heart and e-ring on the outside.

well, now that i have inherited my mother's gorgeous pear e-ring, i cannot wear it closest to my heart because of how the point of the pear sticks out. i now have to wear my stackable bands closest to my heart and e-ring on the outside.

i don't know why, but this is weird to me. i guess because i have worn it the other way for so many years, i'm not used to it being on the outside. not only that, i worry that it's the first one to fall off, if god for bid, it falls off.

i see just from the pics in the e-ring section that most, if not all, women wear their e-ring on the outside.

how do you wear yours and why? thanks.

You could turn the pear around so the point sticks in the other direction.

I wear my sedding ring on the inside, then my engagement ring, and I wear an anniversary band on the outside. So my engagement ring is in the middle, but without the anniversary band it would be on the outside. If you feel in danger of the ring falling off, I'd say you need to have it sized. I have NEVER once thought my rings would fall off, even if I shake my hands for some reason!
