Hi there, My boyfriend proposed on Christmas Day and presented me with his mother's wedding rings. She passed away a year ago, and they hold great sentimental value. My question is how to wear them, and when. There are actually 3 rings, and they are soddered together in the following order: wedding band on top, matching engagement ring with diamond in the middle, and anniversary band on bottom. Also, they are slightly big for me, and need to be resized. Do I have them separated, and wedding band removed, then wear the engagement ring and anniversary bands together? I would ultimately like to wear all three, when it's appropriate. Thanks so much for your help...
There is an etiquette rule about a bride only wearing her mother's engagement ring, but not her wedding ring. But, there really is nothing wrong with you wearing your fiance's mothers rings as long as you want to wear them.
It is best to only wear the engagement ring until your wedding ceremony. You can give your ring up right before your wedding to have it soddered to the wedding ring. Your groom will place both on your finger at that time.
As for the anniversary ring... that is a wild card. It would probably be better to use that as an accent ring with the wedding ring. Some brides use a wrap, so this isn't so different.
