How to match your wedding ring with your engagement ring?
If the location of a wedding ring is a secret for no one and can only be worn on the left ring finger, what about the engagement ring that was given at the time of the proposal?
It would be a shame to part with this ring you’ve grown attached to during the many months you’ve waited to replace it by your wedding ring. Here are several solutions that will enable you to wear these two rings at the same time.
Choosing two rings of the same style
If you decide to wear your engagement ring on the same finger as your engagement ring, you should choose two rings of the same style. Given that you get your engagement ring first, you can then easily match the two rings you’ll wear on the left ring finger.
It’s never easy to match two rings types. That’s why you can always ask your jeweler for advice. They will perfectly direct you to the rings styles that match according to your tastes and desires. To match two types of rings, it’s essential that they are both made of the same material, so they don’t get friction damage.
Of course, there is no belief or tradition that forces you to wear your engagement ring alongside your wedding ring. In most cases, women prefer to wear their engagement ring on the right ring finger. This way, you can wear two rings of different styles.
In what order are the wedding ring and engagement ring worn?
Granted, there is no stated rule regarding the wearing of the engagement ring alongside the wedding ring, or wearing them on the right ring finger. However, there is a tradition regarding the wearing of these two rings on the same finger. Indeed, given that marriage is the union between two people for life, the wedding ring must be put on first. Then, you can add the engagement ring afterwards. This way, you never need to remove your wedding ring.
According to some beliefs, this way of wearing your rings places the wedding ring, symbol of the marriage, closer to the heart and the engagement ring protects it. Depending on what you prefer, you can also wear your rings the order of the events: the engagement ring is therefore put on first because that’s the first one you get.
However, given the fact that there is no stated rule required by a religion or tradition, you can wear your wedding and engagement rings the way you want, depending on your tastes and desires: on the left ring finger or the right one, together or not, it’s up to you to match your rings as you wish!
