How many rings do you wear day to day?

I always wear my engagement ring and wedding band. The engagement ring is a 1 carat diamond set in white gold, quite a chunky setting and my wedding ring is a plain gold band.

I recently got given a really beautiful heirloom piece which is a ruby surrounded by 12 small diamonds. The ruby is probably 1 carat and the surrounding diamonds perhaps 0.1 - 0.2 carat each (I'm not good at judging this though) so it's a fairly blingy engagement style ring.

It seems a shame for this ring to stay shut in a drawer and I'd love to wear it regularly but feel it's probably a bit too flashy for wearing to work etc.

What do you think? How many rings do you normally wear?

Between 4 and 8 rings, depending on mood, clothes, occasion.
The 4 I always wear are MIL's wedding ring, DSis' ring (both deceased) and 2 witchy rings. These are the unobtrusive ones.
Then I sometimes add some massive handcrafted or ethnic ones, like kuchi rings or one I like, which is a glass globe with a miniature city inside it. I have a poison ring, too.

I don't wear any, they just irritate me.

Everyone comments when i mention my husband 'oh; I didn't know you were married'

I wear three, wedding engagement and eternity.

I wear my eternity in my right hand

Wear it! Life's too short to worry about other people's opinions, it's wasted if left in a box! Enjoy the ring x

This is me, engagement, wedding and eternity xx

I wear eight rings daily over 4 fingers if I’m going out I’ll add a thumb ring. Mine are mostly stackers though aside from wedding engagement and eternity ring.

KinCat · 20/08/2018 13:00

I'm going to wear it tomorrow! And probably spend too long looking at it.

Nice hearing about all the different rings that people wear.

Wear it! Grin

Never more than 2 or 3. I shudder when I see hands with loads of rings.

Longislandicetee · 20/08/2018 13:11

Glad you're going to wear it OPSmile. I wear 3 on my left hand on ring finger and always wear a ring on my right hand. My hand feels bare without it!

Lynne1Cat · 20/08/2018 13:17

None at all. I haven't worn a wedding or engagement ring for 34 years! (married for 38), as I developed an allergy to Nickel. I wear a watch and a bracelet, but only for a couple of hours if I'm going out.

Love jewelry and hearing about all your rings. If you like your new ring, wear it as often as you like.

I always wear my wedding band (narrow PT sapphire eternity) and engagement ring (ca. 1ct PT solitaire). Usually I stack these with a 5 diamond band (1.25 ct? TDW) which MIL kindly gave me.

I also always wear a ring on the other hand which I change depending on mood/outfit/activities. Today it's an art deco sapphire & diamond 'dinner ring' which DH gave me the Christmas before he proposed.

I usually wear a necklace and earrings and a bracelet too. I enjoy checking out what jewelry others are wearing. If I were your colleague and you turned up with a new ring, I'd notice immediately and be eager to hear all the details.

Three silver stacking rings on my third finger, right hand.
White gold and diamond openwork eternity ring on third finger, left hand.
Usually a silver thumb ring on my left hand.
Sometimes a huge labradorite and silver ring somewhere on my right hand - it's adjustable.

vivalafrida · 20/08/2018 13:48

I also have a gorgeous silver story ring with a moonstone in it, and a worry ring with a twirly bit. They're from Charlotte's Web and they're beautiful.

Chrisinthemorning · 20/08/2018 13:49

Engagement and wedding rings on left hand ring finger, eternity ring on right hand ring finger. Don’t wear any for work so tend to only wear at weekends.

moralminority · 20/08/2018 13:49

I wear my wedding, engagement and eternity ring on my left hand and my aunties wedding ring, a solitaire and and eternity style ring on the "ring finger" on my other hand. 6 rings across 2 fingers. Wear the ring!

happymummy12345 · 20/08/2018 13:53

I wear 6. Wedding, eternity and engagement ring on left ring finger, Sister ring on left middle finger, mum ring on right index finger and my husbands initial ring that he gave me on our wedding day on my right middle finger.
I'm a big jewellery person, so o also wear 4 chains, 6 earrings and something on each wrist daily as well. I'm not me without my gold.

KinCat · 20/08/2018 14:15

Aww @tarheelbaby I wish you were my colleague! People where I work aren't chatty and won't start a conversation about something like that. Nobody even seemed to notice when I got my engagement ring!

I'm like you - love to admire people's jewellery! I think it comes from having an aunt with an amazing selection of rings, I used to love looking at them!

I feel a lot better about wearing my new ring now! Thanks everyone!

Zero, I have them all in a drawer.

goose1964 · 20/08/2018 15:02

none, my wedding ring is around somewhere but I had to take it off when I had hot weather oedema a few years ago and my engagement ring lost its central stone years ago. I occasionally wear a blackberry quartz and diamond ring if I'm going somewhere nice

ArchbishopOfBanterbury · 20/08/2018 15:17

Plain silver wedding ring on left ring finger. Sapphire stone engagement ring on right middle finger. Very rarely a plain silver super-thin ring on the right ring finger.
