Men wearing rings other than wedding band

[delacamboche]

What do you think of men wearing rings other than a wedding band? DH wears a ring on his right hand ring finger. It’s something he was given when he emigrated from his home european country at 16 and has an emblem of that country. It’s not a family signet ring, it’s just a nod to his origins.

My friends and work colleagues thought DH was super posh and it was a family crest. This is because he has no hint of a foreign accent, and sounds quite posh. He hates the idea that people think he is snotty and wearing it like a signet ring!

I have no opinion on what jewellery anyone wears on whatever hand. Wear as much as you like!

I wouldn't think anything, probably wouldn't even notice.

I quite like the style of men wearing loads of chunky rings like Johnny depp and Jason momoa, I'm not keen on just one random thumb ring though lol

The posh boy rings are normally worn on the pinkie aren't they? I don't think I'd give the ring you describe a second thought. Having said that I do prefer minimal jewellery on a man.

although if I was with Jason Momoa I'd be delighted by all his jewellery

I've met some men who wear 21st birthday rings.

My very stylish male friend wears silver rings with matching stones in, some are quite flashy but with them all matching it isn't OTT and looks pretty cool

Tacky IMO. I know quite a few “posh” people (family included) and this is pretty much the opinion nowadays.

Mine’s worn a signet ring on his right ring finger since his parents gave it to him for his 21st birthday. I’ve no idea what other people think, nobody’s been rude about it anyway.

My stepdad is a bit of a metalhead and has always worn silver rings and necklaces. I’ve never thought twice about it, really. Why not, after all?

I wear a ring containing my wife's breast milk below my wedding ring.

Do you have a placenta keyring too?

Why on earth?!

Oh dear.

@Gurkangurke

🤮

Not my cup of tea - anything more than a plain wedding band and a watch on a man is a bit tacky imo.

Yuck! And why do people say wedding 'band'? In this country, it is wedding 'ring' for men and women.

Obviously men can wear what rings they want
But since you asked...
I wouldn’t consider a signet type or any ring really on the ring finger of the right hand as posh, I think it would be more likely to be lower middle class/working class.

Signet ring on the little finger of either hand - yes I’d associate that with poshness/being upper class or upper middle class.

I think Wedding Band is more said in Scotland for some reason.

But isn't that a Breast milk ring a foosty mini frube by now?

that is juice squeeeeeeezed from a person

but back to the OP....I like a nice wide wedding band ring, maybe just looking slightly too big, long fingers, like that chap in the face/hand meme....yummy! Maybe Ryan Gosling??

The issue isnt your partner's choice of jewellery, it's your family thinking it's ok to give someone a hard time because they are posh or supposedly posh.

For more information about the exact poshness of different kinds of signet ring, see 'Class' by Jilly Cooper which despite being 45 years old is still quite accurate in some things.

I don't think anything about it. I don't give a shit.

For some reason all I can think of is David from Schitts Creek and his many rings.
