I lived in NYC until recently and I do wear my rings on different hands, but only because they look better that way. I never noticed this to be a trend though.
Question for NYC girls!...

Thats kinda what I thought...I see more women with just bands on, some with diamonds and some without, than with really big diamonds. Of course there are people with some major bling, but I usually spend more time downtown and the people seem to be not so interested in the bling even though they could afford anything they wanted...it's just interesting to see what different populations of people wear.
see, i mix and match my 'set' all the time. to be honest, most of the time i just wear one of my stackables as a wedding band and that's it. no e-ring or anything. i am constantly running back and forth to my daughter's soccer games so for me, wearing my entire 'set' is not practical at all. it's so much more comfortable wearing just a single band that's a little too big anyway when it's 90º+ outside. my fingers swell bad enough during the summer, so having to be at her soccer game(s) frequently for over an hour outside in the hot sun, it's just more comfortable for me.
so i guess just because someone is wearing a wedding band only doesn't necessarily mean they don't have a gorgeous e-ring to go along with it. there are many women who prefer to wear their e-ring sets every single day, and that's ok for them. but for me, it's not practical and i like mixing and matching anyway. it's more fun that way.
in fact, my aunt recently gave me her old wedding ring that i always admired and loved. it was really damaged so i had to bring it to my jeweler to literally rebuild the gold channel settings and replace stones that were either missing and/or damaged. once i pick it up, i plan on wearing that as a wedding band as well.

Something I have noticed is that some woman wear there wedding band ontop of there engagement ring and some wear it under. When I got my band my jeweler said to wear it under the engagement ring so it closer to the heart. Are there other "beliefs" on this, such as wearing it above?
I think Platinum is the most "classic". It defies "trends" I think. I think yellow gold is too cyclical to be classic, it seems to really go out and really come back. I would go with Plat just because of that. But if you find yourself wearing mostly yellow gold/rose gold and it flatters your skin, that might be more appropriate.
