My RHR means more to me than my wedding set. It has no diamonds and has never garnered a compliment, but it was gift from my late mother (still hard to refer to her as "late" even after nearly ten years). She bought it for me when my brother and I took her on a trip to Ireland shortly after she was diagnosed with cancer. It was the trip of her lifetime and all throughout the trip she was trying to find a ring for me, but I couldn't find anything I liked (and honestly, I didn't want her spending the money on me). The day before we returned home, we stopped in a small shop in Shannon and found this one. It was the only one they had and it fit me perfectly (it can't really be re-sized due to the continuous engraving). She insisted on getting it for me. It was on my finger when I held her hand as she took her last breath and I wear it every day. It is also real motivation for me never to gain any weight since it can't be resized LOL
I have experimented with that. When I have Fancy on my right hand with Martha Washington, I feel like it overpowers:
So then I switched it over to the left with Queen of Hearts and that seems like a lot! Lol!
You have to excuse these crappy pictures, there hasn’t been any sun outside for four days, talk about depressing!
Priceless! I am more than 2 years late responding as I am just seeing this post. Big hugs, @Kaycee2018.
Not sure how I missed your new addition, but it is the most perfect accompaniment to your Tiffany! Please tell me you wear it often? DK did an amazing job with the rehab!
Hi Alex! Yes. I wear it every single day. I don’t ever take either ring off. DK did such a great job with the rehab. I asked for a double milgrain on the edges and he executed it perfectly.
Ahhh.... perfect.
I am a bit of a lover of things I don't need to take off. I would dearly love to rescue an antique wedding band with engraving one day, but so far have never come across one in my size. And also, I think I would head down a rabbit hole, because I'd want to rescue ALL the abandoned antique wedding rings!
I found this one on LT. It’s especially endearing bc of the date inscribed 10-18, which is my first son Christopher’s birthdate. He passed away when he was 3 years old from cancer so when I found this ring I felt like it was meant to be.

Here is one of my RHRs. I rarely wear anything but my ER and WB(s) but if I am in the mood this is one of my (diamond) RHRs.
Sometimes the other (diamond) RHR I will wear is my fat WB. It is from my favorite estate jewelry shop. Took it on my left hand (to more easily get the photo because I am right handed) but I wear it on my right hand.
But my favorite RHR is more opal than diamonds though yes it has a diamond halo so I guess I can include it here.
Took this photo just 2 days ago of the ring on my left hand for ease of photo taking but again, I wear it on my right hand.
ETA: Sorry, I obviously need to work on my reading comprehension as I just realized you wanted photos of both hands...I am not that talented to be able to take a selfie of both hands but wish I was! One day when there is more time I will enlist the help of my dh for your thread...in the meantime I look forward to seeing everyone's beautiful additions.
I love the top ring soooo much. May we see more pictures of the setting pls ?
Hi @dhimer thanks for the kind words.
Here’s a few more pics as requested.
And lastly on HRH Francesca. No one wore it better.
Beautiful @missy! I just bought a similar piece and had it made into a pendant. I am thinking that I may want to have it made into a ring later. What are the sizes of the stones and overall diameter of the ring?
Here is a pic of the piece I bought from Sako. The center is about 1.6 carats and overall 17mm.

I saw when he posted these and was so tempted. Which size did you get ? How does it look IRL?

I wrestled with selling Ashlee because she didn’t look right on my left hand. It caused me months of stress when all it took was to put her on my right hand. I love her there...
Sorry the photo is so large. It took me dozens of tries to get a decent pic. I give up..haha Please excuse the closeup of the wrinkly old hand!
