Method 1 of 2: Wearing a Traditional Wedding Ring on Hand
Step 1. Wear the wedding ring on the ring finger
The ring finger is the finger next to the little finger, and according to the traditional way of wearing a wedding ring in the West, the ring finger for a wedding ring is on the left hand. This tradition dates back to the ancient Romans who believed that the veins on the ring finger were directly connected to the heart. The Romans called this vein the vein amoris or the vein of love, and they wore a wedding ring on this finger as a way of showing love. This is a sweet reason to wear a wedding ring on the ring finger. Here's how:
- Just wear a wedding ring on the ring finger of your left hand.
- Try wearing your wedding ring and engagement ring side by side in the order you received them. That is, the engagement ring on the bottom and the wedding ring on the top. In the West, this is the traditional way of wearing a wedding ring, but may not be suitable for all ring styles.
- Wear the wedding ring under the engagement ring. Maybe both of your rings will look nicer or match this setting. Some people prefer to wear the ring this way because they feel that the bottom position of the wedding ring is closer to the heart.
Step 2. Wear the wedding ring and engagement ring on different hands
Place the wedding ring on the ring finger of the right hand and the engagement ring on the ring finger of the left hand. It fits the Indonesian way, and there are many reasons to choose it. Here are some things you might consider:
- This arrangement may be more comfortable for people who have short fingers or don't like to wear more than one ring on each finger.
- This way, you can bring out the beauty of each ring if your wedding ring and engagement ring don't match or don't fit together.
- Perhaps the two rings are so charming that they need to be displayed separately.
Step 3. Wear only one ring at a time
Although wedding rings and engagement rings should be worn together, and most women prefer to do so, some people choose to wear them interchangeably. Here are some things you might consider:
- One of the two rings may be very expensive and you only want to wear it on a special occasion.
- Some people are more comfortable wearing just one ring, but still want to wear both. So, they use them interchangeably.
Step 4. Wear the wedding ring on whichever finger you want
You are married, and you can make up your own mind about this. This is your ring, wear it as you wish. Here are a few things you might consider:
- Engagement rings are usually worn on the ring finger of the left hand. Most people who wear engagement rings adhere to this tradition.
- In the West, there is such a thing as a covenant ring, and it is worn on the ring finger of the right hand.
- While there may be an "official" way to wear a ring, you live in the 21st century and can make your own way for things. Your ring is beautiful and will look stunning on any finger.
Method 2 of 2: Wearing Wedding Rings in Creative Ways
Step 1. Wear a wedding ring as a necklace
This is the right and safe way if your job or activity gets in the way of wearing the ring. Attach your wedding ring to a nice necklace and wear it around the neck, close to the heart, as a pendant.
- If it's not safe to wear jewelry to work or other activities, wear a wedding ring as a choker.
- This is a safer way of wearing a wedding ring if your job involves machinery or activities such as diving or rock climbing that do not allow the ring to be worn on the finger.
Step 2. Place your wedding ring on the bracelet
Bracelets are jewelry models that are quite widely used in addition to traditional wedding rings. The bracelet provides more freedom to move with your hand without having to worry about whether the ring will get caught, damaged, or broken. Here are some things you can consider wearing a wedding ring on a bracelet:
- Bracelets can be personalized. Try bracelets made of precious metals and add gemstones to represent the times passed in marriage, such as the first year, fifth year, and so on. Thus, this bracelet will become a collection of memories that show the love you and your husband have for you.
- Wedding ring bracelets may not suit everyone. Bracelets that are loose and hanging still have the risk of getting caught while you work and move.

In Indian culture, women usually wear wedding rings as nose rings. If you are interested in Indian culture or love body piercing, this is an elegant and unique way to wear a wedding ring.
Step 4. Wear a watch instead of a wedding ring
This is the alternative that men generally choose. Expensive watches can be turned into precious symbols with extensive personalization. Here are things you can consider:
- The watch can be engraved with the wedding date, partner's name, romantic message or whatever you like.

Step 6. Put on a 100% silicone ring
If you love wearing your wedding ring, but have to take it off at work or sports, this might be the perfect solution. Here are some things you might consider:
- For people who cannot use conductive metal at work, this type of ring is a safe choice.
- Soft silicone rings are a safe alternative to wear when exercising, engaging in recreational activities, or on any occasion where it is impossible or unsafe to wear a wedding ring.

There are many variations to wearing a wedding ring and expressing feelings to a partner. If you are looking for an alternative to the traditional way, think about what your interests are and what your partner will like.
