4 the married couples only : which ring goes on 1st the flat one or the 1 with the stone?

wedding band on first then the engagement ring.... the wedding band is supposed to be closest to your heart.4 the married couples only : which ring goes on 1st the flat one or the 1 with the stone?
Traditionally it's the wedding band first, for a couple of reasons. One, it's supposed to be closer to your heart (although I think that's a little corny). Two, the tradition of the engagement ring is sort of a recent development. The diamond solitaire is a marketing thing by De Beers from the 1930s, so there's no tradition to having it be on the inside.





But think of something else, that I didn't realize until my mother nearly lost her engagement ring; the ';big stone'; ring is probably more expensive to replace than the wedding band. If there's any chance of the outside ring getting lost (and yes, even if you're careful, it can happen), then you've got to protect the larger investment. It's just good economic sense.4 the married couples only : which ring goes on 1st the flat one or the 1 with the stone?
hmmmmmm...things are done differently here compared to what everyone else is saying. the beautiful ring with the huge diamonds is the engagement ring and goes on first during proposal...then when planning the wedding the bride picks out her wedding band ...a simple plain band which is what the groom puts on her finger during the wedding or gets an engagement ring setting to compliment the ring itself.
You would wear your engagement ring on your right hand so that at the ceremony, the wedding band is placed on the ring finger and then after the ceremony, you transfer the engagement ring AFTER the wedding band.
Doesn't matter, whatever you think looks better or what you believe. I did my engagement ring first then the band because that's the order the events took place and the way they look better.
Your wedding band (usually the flat one thought they can have stones) goes on first - closest to the heart. Next comes the engagement ring - the one with the larger diamond.
I was told the engagement ring first and the wedding band second, because the wedding band seals the deal
the band goes on first . Then the ring with the stone goes on usualllly ;
The flat one known as the wedding band goes on first this way it is ';closest to your heart.';
first the stone and then the flat one to seal the wedding
