Inspiring thread which confounded my expectations and is about a different kind of ring.
Zero or one. I’m a bit haphazard about wearing my wedding ring. (I used to wear it all the time until one occasion where my finger swelled up and it started cutting off the circulation).
none. i use my hands too much.
back when i was engaged and wore the e-ring, i managed to scar up the top of my ring finger. there is still a visible half-inch white scar mark right where the ring rested even after a year and a half of **not **wearing it. i was always bashing that thing into something.
Two. Engagement and wedding rings.
One…wedding ring. That’s it for the fingers.

I used to have a favorite ring but it only fit on the left ring finger. I was told it was confusing people or people were wondering if i was engaged, so I stopped wearing it. I care for my bed-bound grandpa these days so i don’t really have the need to be wearing rings away.
I don’t wear any, but I do own one that my sister and mom gave to me for my 18th birthday. I use my hands to much and handle to many corrosive materials to wear one. It’d be damaged in no time.
One. It is a ring my mother passed on to me after she died. It’s just a plain gold band, but very beautiful.
Usually zero. I wear my college ring only on rare occasion because the thing weights a ton.
Male. Not engaged or married. Genuinely doesn’t understand the concept of jewellery (it seems a bit too caveman/ooh shiny metal to me).
So none.
I wish I could wear rings–I inherited some really lovely ones–but they *bother *me. Several hours and I curse and yank it off and shove it in my handbag.
Only one, my wedding ring. Only ring I own, didn’t even get graduation rings because I don’t like wearing jewelry.
Left hand:
Four. Engagement and wedding ring, ring my son gave me, another ring my son gave me.
Right hand:
Three. Mother and son ring I got from an ex, my son’s ring, and a ring my son gave me.
So four and three makes - seven.
One now (I just got engaged!) Previously, every so often I’d wear one. I haven’t worn my college ring in a while because it’s got a chip in it, but it’s traditional for graduates of my school to wear them till death do you part with the alumnae annual fund.
Two - wedding ring left, signet ring right.
One*. And no bells on my toes. But I still have music wherever I goes.
*Wedding ring, of course.
Four:
- engagement and wedding rings on left hand ring finger
- another pretty ring that had belonged to my great-grandmother on my right hand ring finger
- my Iron Ringon my right hand little finger
Wedding ring & class ring.
Unless I’m doing something manual (gardening), messy (eating BBQ ribs), or hazardous (power tools). Then zero.
One ring per hand - on ring fingers only. I was raised to think that anything more was gaudy.
Two. Wedding band and engagement ring on the traditional left hand ring finger.
As soon as I get my great-grandmother’s ring resized, I’ll be wearing it on my right index finger.
