So dh is getting me for Christmas and I had the intention of wearing it wedding ring, engagement ring, eternity ring. However I went to jewellers today who inosged they are worn on the right hand which I don't want.

So just wondering how people wear there's?

On my right hand!

Sorry Op 😐 on my right hand also.

Mine is a shaped one and fits snug around my engagement ring. My wedding ring is shaped too, so mine is eternity, engagement, wedding. My rings are are really thin- 2mm wide bands so they look dainty together. I think it depends how much your existing rings take up on your finger personally.

I worked in a jewellers for years and haven’t ever heard of people wearing them on their right hand.

Generally its on the ring finger, eternity ring on first, then wedding band with engagement on the top.

All on 3rd finger, left hand. Wedding ring, eternity then engagement. Purely because that’s how they sit best.

Sandwiched between my wedding ring and engagement ring. They look really lovely together as a set.

SpringFan · 17/11/2019 19:54

On my right hand.
I have long fingers, but think the 3 together look terrible. I have quite a wide wedding ring and don't like rings up to the knuckle but I don't think there is a hard and fast rule.
The other reson is my emgagement ring is blue sapphire and diamond but my eternity ring is pink sapphire and diamond.

Bluewavescrashing · 17/11/2019 19:55

It depends on the design and size of the rings as well. Mine are all quite dainty so they don't look too chunky stacked up.

Mmm, interesting.
Left hand. Wedding ring first, then engagement ring, then eternity ring.
However, I have noticed some wear on my engagement ring, caused I think, by sitting between the other two rings.
I don’t want to move it to my right hand though - my rings are platinum, but the ring (Nanna’s wedding ring) already on my right hand is gold - so I think it would look odd.
Food for thought.

Mine are a bit too big so I don't wear them much now but I always used to have them wedding ring, engagement ring then eternity ring.

Oblomov19 · 17/11/2019 20:03

Left hand.
Eternity ring, nearest knuckle, then wedding band, then engagement ring.

lauryloo · 17/11/2019 20:05

I wear mine on my ring finger in place of my wedding and engagement rings that don't fit post babies.

TheWoollybacksWife · 17/11/2019 20:07

Left hand. Wedding band first, then eternity ring and then engagement ring on top. The jeweller advised getting the eternity ring in the same gold as the other two rings so they wouldn't wear against each other - I assumed that this meant that they were to be worn together. This was 25 years ago so maybe things have changed.

Shesellsseashellsontheseashore · 17/11/2019 20:12

Between my wedding ring and engagement ring.

Skinnychip · 17/11/2019 20:13

I don't wear it all the time but I wear it on my right hand cos I have short fingers!

TheHootiestOwl · 17/11/2019 20:17

Left hand.

Wedding ring, engagement ring them eternity ring. I love the way they all sparkle together.

I have to take my rings off for work so my wedding ring stays last.

MajesticWhine · 17/11/2019 20:18

I wear mine all on ring finger : eternity first then engagement then wedding band. They fit snugly like that and look nice.

DullPortraits · 17/11/2019 20:19

Wedding ring, engagement ring. Eternity ring all on left hand in that order.. thats how the jeweller told me its worn x

mommybear1 · 17/11/2019 20:23

All on 3rd finger, left hand. Wedding ring, eternity then engagement. Jeweller, stone setter and parents all advised this was how to wear them Grin

ColdRainAgain · 17/11/2019 20:28

All on left hand.
Eternity first, then wedding band, then engagement. Mainly because the eternity ring is very old (it was given to my grandmother on her 21st), and my engagement ring quite chunky. Jeweller suggested not putting eternity and engagement rings together to prevent excess wear.
Eternity and wedding band are both very slim tho - about 2mm each.

PinkiOcelot · 17/11/2019 20:36

I wear my wedding band, then eternity them engagement ring. Looks really nice like that.

Scoose · 17/11/2019 20:37

Wedding ring, eternity ring then engagement ring all on my left hand

BigBraRa · 17/11/2019 20:45

I wear them on my left hand.
Eternity ring, wedding ring, engagement ring on top.

VenusClapTrap · 17/11/2019 20:46

I swap mine between hands regularly. So for a while it’ll be on my left hand ring finger, above my wedding and engagement rings, then after a while my skin needs a breather so I move it to my right hand. Then when that finger needs a breather I move it back.

I think I have tendency to not dry behind my eternity ring properly which is why the skin gets upset! This never happens with my other rings; I guess because the eternity ring has all the little gaps behind the stones which trap water.
