I'm saving up for the Cartier Love ring, but the catch is that it's marketed as a wedding band. I like the ring, because it's minimalist and cute.
All my fingers are pretty uniform, so I plan to wear the ring on multiple fingers. Some days the ring will be on my pointer finger, middle finger, and my "wedding finger".
I'm not seeing anyone in the near future. My question is would it be weird for me to buy the ring? I don't want to give guys the impression that I'm taken. Also, I'm working up the courage to walk in to the store and buy it, would the sales associate give me "weird looks" for buying a wedding band as a decorative piece?
My mom told me to wait for a man to propose to me with the ring, but here's the thing, I can already afford it, and I'm not seeing anyone.
Of course not! Get yourself the ring! I buy myself pretty jewellery all the time. If you want to avoid being seen as taken, just wear it on your index or middle finger while dating or in situations where you wouldn't mind being approached.
Get the ring! I have gorgeous rings (whether they're labeled as engagement or not) pop up on all my feeds and have been thinking of also saving up and buying one for myself. There is no need to wait for a man to buy it for you if you can afford it on your own.
Naw, get the ring.
Also, I have never been hit on more than when I was wearing a really nice engagement ring.
The sales associate definitely won’t give you any weird looks. I once had a Tiffany sales rep try to get me to buy a 30K engagement ring for myself. 😂 I worked part-time at Macy’s at the time but it was nice of him to pretend I looked like I was someone with that kind of money. Sales associates aren’t going to judge.
The only way someone might think you’re married is if you wear it on your left ring finger. You can wear it on your right if it really worries you. I like really minimalist jewelry so sometimes I wear plain stacking bands that look sort of like wedding rings.
It’s so funny that you asked this bc it’s something I’ve wondered about too. I don’t wear a ring on my ring finger because I see so many engaged or married women with nontraditional rings. I don’t want a HVM to mistakenly think I’m committed to someone else. I wear rings on any other finger though, regardless of how they’re marketed.
If you like the ring, buy it! Can you buy it online to avoid judge salespeople?
It's a "love" ring right? Love yourself enough to get the thing that will bring you joy. No guarantee a man will do that for you anyway. And if you don't want weird looks in the store...presto! Internet shopping is the best invention since sliced bread!
I bought myself a beautiful ring as a commitment to a goal I had. I wore it on my left ring finger. Only one person ever commented on it and that was my closest male friend asking whether my then boyfriend had had the intelligence to propose and he’d missed the announcement.
It was actually really good for me in decentering men to claim that finger as my future plans finger. Hopefully one day a HVM will buy me rings to wear there but my dreams and goals are about more than marriage and I’m currently on the lookout for a ring that captures my current big goal.
I wear rings that look like wedding bands all the time. I don’t care 🤣 I love them and they look great.
If you put it on your wedding finger, people will assume you're taken, but I currently have rings on 4 fingers and it's not tacky or awkward at all (if I may say so myself). People explicitly call me out as having a lot of rings but not on "that" finger which they interpret as being flaming single.
