With This Ring I May Be Wed…Or Not!

Posted by cissy | Posted in Diamond Advice, Diamond History, Jewelry Advice | Posted on 05-10-2008

The wearing of a right hand diamond ring has soared in popularity during the last few years. Diamond lovers, especially those who are not married or engaged, have had to, in the past, gaze longingly at diamonds, prominently displayed on hands that usually signified the marital state of the wearer. Some have even taken the chance of wearing diamonds, while fearlessly facing inquisitions by those who feel as if some type of authorization is needed . In the past, many would wear cocktail rings to satisfy their love of diamonds, while at the same time avoiding a face off with concerned (or nosy) relatives, friends and strangers. But somehow, wearing a cocktail ring during the early morning hours didn’t seem quite right.

Enter: The right hand diamond ring

A right hand diamond ring can be seen as a ‘status neutral’ expression of independence; and as declaration of the fact that anyone has the right to wear a diamond (or diamonds), without being questioned as to its meaning. Right hand diamond rings can simply, or elaborately, attest to wearer’s love of fine jewelry. Beautifully crafted, make no mistake about it, they are not intended to be substandard versions or coy imitations of the standard engagement ring. Unlike traditional engagement rings, right hand diamond rings are not typically demure, but are usually bold, free formed, gorgeous creations that clearly have personalities of their very own.

Whether married or not, one can choose diamonds from many wonderful styles, while keeping in mind that one does have a ‘right‘ to wear one.
