Does this ring cause confusion ?

I'm single and I wonder what you girls think about my ring. Does it cause confusion or is it easy to notice that it's not an E ring nor a marriage band?

Would you (if interested) think "to bad he's married"?

If it's on the wedding finger, then yes I assume that it's a wedding band. I have seen all sorts of designs, including wood wedding bands, so a band like yours is not too different from a wedding band to me.

The only time when I might wonder if it is, is when it is clearly not a band like design e.g. some fashion ring with a massive skull on it, or something very big and over the top.

Switching it to the right hand may be easier, but in some cultures e.g. Germany it's worn on the right hand too. So if you don't want any single women mistaking you for being married at all...a different finger might be easier.
 
Thanks for feedback ladies it' very much appreciated :)
It's a shame though, I kind of like the ring. It's a Orthodox ring which has significant meaning to me.

I may still wear it at times, but it's very good to know which signals it sends out.
I'd hate to chase a possible wife away and it may be even more likely that I do seeing how I'm walking in very traditionally minded circles.

Again thanks ladies your the best ;)
 
It's a lovely ring, but yes, I also would assume you were married.

How would anyone know that’s “not a wedding band”

I’d go so far as to say the only reason that is NOT is specifically because you’re not married. Literally everything else points to that being a wedding band.

“Would wearing this Eagles sweater make people think I’m an Eagles fan? “
 
Will it fit another finger?

Would this ring which is really lovely by the way :love: fit your right hand ring finger? I know in some countries right hand is wedding band hand but if you are in the USA it doesn't signify married on the right ring finger. At least I don't think so. Anyway if you love the ring my vote is try resizing to fit another finger or wear in on the right hand ring finger if it fits.
 
Get it enlarged. Wear it on your middle finger on your right hand. Any experienced jeweler should be able to enlarge it - even with a pattern.
 
I'd resize it for your right hand. I don't care what kind of ring a man has on but if it's on that finger, I automatically assume he's married.

I'm symmtrical right vs left so it can as easily be worn on either hand. You think I could pull it off on my right ringfinger ?

Thanks for answers everyone :)
 
+1 for resizing even if this is traditionally worn on the ring finger b/c many orthodox wear wedding rings on the right so it will be confusing no matter which hand you have it on. and i'm guessing you are devout to wear this, and devout ladies would likely make the assumption you are married and not ask to find out more. 2c from someone who is also orthodox fwiw.

I do. I used to wear a diamond solitaire on my right ring finger when I was single as it was my grandmother’s ring and it had great sentimental value. Just because I was single didn’t mean I wasn’t going to wear her solitaire. I loved it and I enjoyed wearing it and it didn’t slow me down if you kwim. It didn’t scare men away though I realize it could mean one is engaged.

Now I wear my ER on my left ring finger since I am married but if I see a man wearing a band on his right hand I do not think he is married. However these days anything goes so even no ring or a ring on any finger could mean married. I do not assume anything though I do understand the reluctance to wear a band on your left ring finger if you are single and looking for a partner.

I think the other ring finger is ok but in any case I think you should wear what you want. If you meet a girl you are interested in she will soon learn you are single no matter ring or no. And of course resizing for another finger entirely works too if you want to wear it like that. IMO you should wear it like you want to wear it. My perspective only.
 
Beautiful ring. It looks really nice on your finger too and very married!
 
I'd have to agree with the ladies, it looks like a wedding band. It's a nice band & looks good on you.

Actually I'm Catholic, but I have Orthodox blood too. Yes, the ring is the Jesus prayer in church slavonic. I really love this ring and would hate not to wear it anymore, but then again I'm not a stranger to getting married though I have considered the priesthood too...

Now you got a whole story lol...
 
Yup, I would take it as a wedding ring too.

DK :))
 
I'd assume you were married, yep
 
I would think you were married, but then again, I'm tooo old to be looking at young guys.
 
Maybe consider putting it away for the time being (assuming you don’t want to have it resized for a different finger), and when the right person comes along, you can then choose to wear it then as your wedding band. Just a suggestion :wavey:

Or one day as a clerical ring, who knows.
Thanks for feedback, you're awsome !

It comes off as a wedding ring, then I know.
I may use it from time to time anyway, but at least I know what people may conceive it as. Then it's about timing ;)

To bad we have these rules about which finger means what and all of that.
 
Just because certain rituals give an impression to others doesn’t preclude you from wearing your beautiful ring however you wish. :rolleyes2:
Dance to your own drum.
 
For what it's worth, a wedding band doesn't deter the friskier females out there. It might even attract them. :mrgreen2:
 
You can always wear it on a nice gold chain around your neck.
 
Assuming you live in the US, wear it on your right hand. That way you can enjoy it and you don't have to worry about the connotation wearing on your left brings. OR, if you don't care that people will think you are married, wear it on your left. I think jewelry was meant to be worn.
