i was not able to wear my wedding ring for decades at work because it scratched the soft molds I built. After retirement it would no longer fit the correct finger due to age/arthritis.
So, on the pinky it goes.

Just because something is legal to do doesn't mean it is the smart thing to do.

I like having my fingers and I work with my hands so I don't wear any rings.
I might put my wedding ring on sometimes when we go someplace special, if my wife reminds me.


Integrity is doing the right thing, even when nobody is looking.

It goes with well with polished nails, right. Big Grin

I wear my Aggie ring. If I ever get married, I’ll move that over to my left hand.

Guilty.

The ring on my left hand started life as a ring from my Papa to my Nanny. Years later Nanny made it into this that she gave back to Papa.


The ring on my right hand was made in the early 1900s and came from England. I wear it in memory of my first born son who died an hour after birth. That it made it so many years without being engraved surprised me. I left it blank since I have no idea what he would have become as a man.

No. But I barely even wear my wedding ring. Don't want to get de-gloved grappling.

My Italian grandfather had a nice gold ring with three nice diamonds in a rectangular white gold setting. Typical of the era.

My Dad made it into a pinkie ring.

Once I got it, I had it resized to a regular ring.

Pinkie ring is not for me.

Jewelry is for women. How I was raised. No rings, necklaces or piercings if you are male. Tattoos are also frowned upon. Conservative Midwestern religious family. Won't say I still feel that way, but I don't have any jewelry either.

No wedding rings for men either?

No. I don’t even wear my wedding ring. I tend to beat the shit out of anything I wear, and jewelry serves no practical purpose.

LOL

I miss getting together with you guys.

The more I wear it, the more I realize how symbolic this ring as actually is for me.

The woman I’m dating is far too good for me, and to me. I’m passing 3 years divorced now and I look at this ring and it reminds me of new beginnings.

I have inherited a few rings. Can't pull off the look. Grandpop could, but I'm not him.

Years in uniform and later, a rather conservative .gov workplace, have made me accustomed to wedding band/wristwatch. MAYBE a small lapel pin if wearing a suit.

Retirement is on the horizon, and I might try regressing to an era I never actually lived in.

I don’t see many guys wearing them, anyone here?

My sister has that exact same ring but it looks a lot cuter on her.

No. I don't wear any rings. Never married. Worked around electronic and mechanical stuff in USAF and rings were not allowed.
