Choosing the perfect engagement and wedding rings is a significant part of your love story, but many people wonder how to wear engagement and wedding rings correctly. Should you wear them on the same finger? Which goes on first? You’re not alone—it’s a common question we get at Icecool diamonds.
Should you wear them all on the same finger?
Does the order matter?
In this guide, we’ll explain the traditional way to wear your rings and offer expert styling tips to enhance their beauty. (Traditional Ring Order UK)
Which Finger Do Your Rings Go On?
In the UK, the conventional way to wear your rings is:
💍Wedding ring – Worn first, closest to the heart.
💍 Engagement ring – Placed on top of the wedding ring.
Where Does the Eternity Ring Go?
Many couples also ask how to wear their engagement and wedding rings alongside an eternity ring. Traditionally, the eternity ring is worn after the wedding and sits closest to the fingertip — symbolising everlasting love and the continuation of your journey together.
💍 Eternity ring – Worn last, either on the same finger or another hand.
This tradition symbolises the journey of your love, with the wedding ring forming the foundation, followed by the engagement and eternity rings. The eternity ring is often added to celebrate a special milestone, baby or anniversary.
Ensuring a Comfortable Fit
Stacking multiple rings should feel comfortable and secure. Here’s how to achieve the perfect fit:
• Ring Width Balance:
The stack may feel bulky if all your rings have thick bands. Mixing slimmer bands with statement pieces creates a balanced and elegant look.
• Shaped Wedding Bands:
If your engagement ring has a unique setting, a contoured or shaped wedding band can help them sit perfectly together.
• Resizing If Necessary:
Finger sizes can change over time. If your rings feel too tight or too loose, professional resizing ensures they stay comfortable.
How to Style Your Engagement, Wedding & Eternity Rings.
Matching Metal and Design
For a seamless, elegant look, ensure your rings complement each other in terms of metal type, bandwidth, and design. Icecool diamonds offers a range of perfectly matching bridal sets designed to fit together effortlessly.
Considering Everyday Wear
💫 If your rings spin or rub against each other, a shaped or contoured wedding band can create a snug fit.
💫 If you work with your hands frequently, a lower-set engagement ring might be more practical.
Eternity Ring Placement
💫 Same Finger: This creates a dazzling stacked effect.
💫 Different Finger: Ideal if your eternity ring has a striking design that stands out alone.

Can You Wear Your Engagement Ring on Your Wedding Day?
Yes! Traditionally, brides move their engagement ring to the right hand before the ceremony and return it to the left hand afterwards, so the wedding band is closest to the heart.
Caring for Your Rings
To keep your rings looking their best:
💡 Regularly clean them with warm, soapy water.
💡 Remove them during heavy-duty activities.
💡 Store them separately to prevent scratching.
