So, in typical spring cleaning fashion, I was tidying up my necklaces when I realized that I had a bunch of rings and I never wear them. They’re nice, and I want to, but I also bought/found/otherwise acquired most of them yeeeears ago, and I’ve gained some weight since then, and most of them don’t fit as well as they did. (And being the sort of thing one buys for $10 here or there, it’s not like getting them resized makes any sense). The kicker is that my left hand ring finger is somehow the only finger still slender enough to fit all of them, though my right ring finger is not far behind. So! Seeing as I’m not about to marry my lovely and esteemable gentleman friend any time in the forseeable future (and I’m at an age where a left hand ring finger ring would be miscontrued), the left hand is out. But what about the right hand? I know theoretically the only sort of signaling rings are left hand ring finger and working hand pinky for things like engineering rings, but I have a vague suspicion that a right hand ring finger ring, especially if it’s the only ring I’m wearing, will be misinterpreted as meaning something more than “I like wearing my cheap jewelry occasionally.”
So, internet: is a single right hand ring finger ring going to lead people to think that I’m headed for marriage anymore than being a late twenties lady who’s had a gentleman friend for a while already does? (Which seriously, ugh. Stop making assumptions about what I am and am not going to do with my life, nosybeaks.)
