Wedding ring hand

I am due to get married next year and have a gorgeous engagement ring that stays in its box most of the time due to the fact
I tend to damage rings on my left hand with my job as I'm left handed this is why I can't wear my engagement ring , I've already lost the stone once .
My question is would I be unreasonable to wear my wedding ring, engagement ring on my right hand instead permanently .
I have tried it today at work and I do like the way it looks

You can wear them wherever you like - it isn't the law :)

Don't other countries have different customs anyway?

Germany wear them on the right apparently.

I don’t wear mine. There are no rules. Wear them on your left hand, right hand or don’t wear them. Personally, my right hand is a fraction bigger than my left so rings sized for my left hand are a bit more uncomfortable on my right.

There are also options like getting a tattoo ring on your left hand or wearing a silicone ring while at work (also useful for working out). You can then save your engagement and wedding ring for when you’re off/at home. You could also look at getting a nice watch instead of a ring if you want the symbolism of wearing it daily.

I think quite a few European countries do

I lived in Spain for about a year and never noticed they wear it on the right hand 😂. So if people pay as little attention as I do apparently then no one will notice.
