What to do with signet ring when wearing engagement ring?

Really not sure where to post this!

I know it's probably an MN no-no, but I have a gold signet ring that I wear on my left pinky.

Now I have an engagement ring and it looks a bit silly sitting side by side on my hand. What do other women do in this situation? Swap the signet to your right hand? I'd rather not just take it off completely as it's a family heirloom.

(NC because I don't want to receive vitriol for the fact I wear a signet ring in the first place Blush)

If you want to keep wearing it, I'd say it's one of these options

Wear it on your right hand
Have it made bigger for a different finger
Wear it on a chain round your neck.

Wear it on your right hand... This might help too: hancockssignetrings.com/blog/womens-signet-rings-which-finger-and-why/

Right hand

I wear a signet ring, in fact, it's the only ring I have ever worn. (I rather like the fact that in Victorian times, signet rings were used to signify the wearer was not interested in marriage.)

Signet rings should be worn on the left hand, although it is also perfectly acceptable to wear it on your dominant hand. Personally, I think they look fine worn adjacent to a wedding ring. But, if you want, simply move it over to your other hand. Wear it to suit you!

Thank you everyone. Right hand it is!
