Where to put an engagement ring after the wedding?

There are no rules about what happens to the engagement ring after the wedding. In other words, you're free to do what you want! Whether you choose to wear it with your wedding ring or not, the most important thing is that it suits you. To help you make up your own mind, let's take a look at the most popular options.

Put your engagement ring on the same finger as your wedding ring

In the past, married women wore their wedding ring alone on their left ring finger. This symbol of union was considered the only piece of jewelry needed, especially as there was a trend towards simplicity, in addition to practical reasons. Today, it's very common to stack the two rings: putting your engagement ring on the same finger as your wedding band is an increasingly popular choice.

You can make the ensemble even more elegant by having matching rings created. Bonnot Paris can make an engagement ring to match your wedding band, for a beautiful result in terms of design, stones and gold!

Wearing an engagement ring on the right hand after marriage

If you wear your wedding ring on the ring finger of your left hand, as is the custom for most married people, you can wear your engagement ring on your right hand.

The most suitable finger is the ring finger, for reasons of both fit and aesthetics. The engagement ring is highlighted on this finger. If you don't particularly want to match your rings, or if you haven't thought about it, this may be the solution for you.

Putting an engagement ring on the right ring finger makes it easy to wear on a daily basis, while remaining quite close to the customs associated with the engagement.

If tradition is important to you, have a diamond engagement ring created for a symbolic proposal.

Put your ring back on from time to time

You may choose not to wear your engagement ring every day. In that case, you may want to wear it on special occasions: a wedding, your own wedding anniversary, a family celebration, a party with friends or a fancy evening, a romantic dinner...

It's still a perfectly acceptable choice, and doesn't go against any rules or conventions. In fact, it could make your engagement ring even more special. When you're not wearing it, remember to keep it separate from your other jewelry, away from light, heat and humidity, to prevent deterioration.

Wear your engagement ring on one finger of your left hand

Do you think it's a shame to wear only your wedding ring after the wedding, especially when you have a magnificent ring with a precious stone, such as an emerald, ruby, sapphire or diamond engagement ring? You're right!

As much for its beauty as for its sentimental significance, wanting to continue wearing your engagement ring after your wedding is completely legitimate.

If you have it fitted, you could put it on another finger of the left hand. The little finger is often a good choice, to keep the ring practical and comfortable to wear. When the setting doesn't raise the center stone too much above the setting, the middle or index finger may be suitable.
