Bracelet & e-ring

For those who are wearing a bracelet, are you wearing it on the right hand/arm or the left one?
Are you wearing your ring on the left finger or the right one and switching it up after?

Little things I am loosing sleep over. LOL!

    My bracelets (I bought 3 but haven't decided yet whether I am wearing 1, 2, or 3) match my e-ring perfectly so I kind of want to wear the bracelet and ring on the same hand.
    But
    I never wear anything on my right hand and I think those fingers are fatter than the ones on the left hand. LOL! I know I will struggle to take off the e-ring afterward like last night if I put it on the right hand.
    So
    I want to wear everything on the left hand but I want to give some love to the right hand.
    But
    I don't want to look like i am in shackles or something if i wear bracelets on both hands

    Here is the bracelet. It's not as loose as I need it to but that's ok...

    I know this post clearly displays my neurotic tendencies but that too is ok. LOL!

    My bracelet,  is going on my right hand, my ering will be on right hand and I will be switching it over. But now Pas has me 2nd guessing my decision. LOL

    Pas, that bracelet is gorgeous and it wont look like shackles if you wear it on your right hand, is your left hand bracelet very simple?

    Lol. Girl, please don't second guess your self. Don't be crazy like me. LOL
    I don't have a left hand bracelet yet. But like I said, I have 3 of these bracelets and I can do 2 on one hand-one on the other, three on one hand-nothing on the other, 2 and 0, 1 and 0 or just buy a new one.... I don't know!

    I was planning on wearing my bracelet on my right arm since normally I wear a watch on that wrist (I won't on the wedding), and I'll feel naked..

    I was planning on wearing my e-ring on my left finger and my grandmother's ring(my something borrowed) on my right hand. I never thought about it though, is it the norm to wear your e-ring on your left hand????

    Most people wear the engagement rings and/or wedding bands on the left hand, so because some people may want that finger naked  during the wedding for the exchanged of the rings at the ceremony, they put the e-ring on the right hand and after the ceremony they wear the set (e-ring + wedding ring) on the left hand...
    Hope that makes sense

    I'm wearing my bracelet on my right hand.  I think I'm just going to keep my e-ring on my left hand and take it off during the ring exchange part and then put it right back on. 
    My fingers on my right hand are fatter, at least my ring finger is and I don't want my e-ring whirling around on my right pinky finger.  It won't go over my knuckle on my right ring finger and although I could probably try harder to get it over my knuckle I don't know how I would get if off. lol.

    I always wear bracelets on my right wrist anyway, so I think I'll wear my bracelet on my right wrist and my e-ring on my right hand on the day of the wedding. I think I'll switch over the e-ring after I get my wedding band though. I hope the e-ring fits on the right hand because those fingers are fatter lol. Omg, I just tried my e-ring on my right hand and I was struggling. What do I do now?

    haha @ Reka. Soapy water, that's what I used to get it off last night. LOL


    Winter- that's exactely what i am talking about. Maybe I will just do it like you!

    So I am happy to know I am not the only one with right fingers that are fatter than the left ones :)

    LOL Pas, you and I are so much alike! I have been struggling with this decisions as well! LOL I am leaning towards wearing my bracelet on my right wrist and wear my e-ring on the right as well. And then just switch over during the ring exchange.

    Well unless I get a special single band made, I am going to go with a double band .Deep down I want a single band but my ring is heart shaped. So I will probably have to let the best man have it to already be in the double bandsYell
    I think I will be wearing my bracelet on the right had.

    The enhancer that I like.

    Oh, you better love it too. LOL. It's a different look and you can wear it in so many different ways so you can change it up.

    Don't have them connected permanently (not sure what's the right terminology for that) together so you can have just the wedding bands like the 1st pic; or the ering with one band; or the e-ring in the middle of both bands; or the ering above both band; or the ering below both bands.... See where I am going?

    Just look at it this way, your wedding finger can have a make over anytime you want :)

    I wore my bracelets on the right hand.  I did not wear my e ring.  I wanted the pastor to bless it with my wedding band. So the bm had all three rings (e ring, and our bands).
