I love jewelry, always have. On my right hand I I wear a curb link bracelet half the time and a bangle with some filigree the other half. I wear rings (only one at a time) with a colored stone on my right ring finger (peridot, turquoise, aquamarine, sapphire,) or I wear my signet ring on my right pinkie. My left hand has my watch, a plain, thin gold wedding band and my diamond eternity wedding band stacked on top of it.

I have wanted the Cartier love bracelet for ages, but it has become so overdone that I can't quite spring for it. I also love the trinity rings, as a bracelet- maybe one day.

I used to love good watches but now that I have my Apple watch, I don't really wear anything but that. I had a Rolex that my ex gave me for my 40th birthday but sold it - it was a bit of a pain to maintain. (Much like that marriage ha ha!). My SIL has a beautiful Cartier tank watch and it is a beauty but I don't think I'd wear it daily. I'm really thinking of something that I will wear most of the time. It's kind of like purses - I usually carry the same one day in day out and most of my bags are 5-10 years old.

Zalco - I like the idea of a signet ring!

I was much more into jewelry when I was working. Now, I rarely remember to put it on. Funny how we go through stages in life. I was thinking the other day that some of my jewelry definitely has an 1980's vibe in the design.

I still love my Rolex and wear it most days. It was the first significant piece of jewelry I bought for myself with my very first performance bonus, so has some special meaning to me.

I always wear a ring on my right hand (wedding ring is on the left), usually a gold and turquoise piece made by a Navajo artist or an old ring with an onyx stone that belonged to my grandmother.

Ida - I love that your watch has such meaning for you! I am leaning toward a right hand ring/s. I am intriqued by the stacking of rings - I like the layered, collected look. This is probably a wedding set, but I like the mix.

I'm a ring "fiend" (and have a lot of them!). I don't wear a wedding band, instead wearing some of the much-loved gifts I've got in my ring box, swapping them out according to my mood and my clothes. (I use fingers on both hands!) I love the stacked look but it doesn't suit my hands -- wide hands, short fingers, not the slender and elegant hands you need to stack rings. I've got a favorite Etsy seller -- she's got lovely pieces, all vintage. She lists new pieces every Sunday, and I drool anew.

Hmmm...not sure my hands qualify for stacking rings if slender and elegant are required :(

I was a bit concerned about the Trinity ring for that reason as well.

vc - thanks for the Etsy link!

I love costume jewelry, clunky jewelry, big rings, turquoise, hippie stuff, etc. I’ve been mainly making my own beaded jewelry (necklaces, bracelets, earrings). It’s so much fun and I love wearing them.

I have my grandmother’s beautiful wedding ring, which actually looks more like an anniversary ring (a row of nice sized, good quality diamonds), and plan to start wearing it on my right hand. It’s too nice to stay hidden away.

My most favorite pieces are mainly gold and diamond ones my late husband gave me over the years. He had a wonderful eye for nice jewelry and I’ll treasure them always, until I give them to our daughter. I also have some nice pearl sets, which is my birthstone.

I love birthstones...mine is diamond!!

Earrings and necklaces for me. I work with my hands and rings and bracelets will get gunky from paint. clay, etc. and/or caught on things. Over the last several years I began buying only fine jewelry, and I prefer very simple designs, like hoops and chains.

I found a trio of rings in white gold, diamonds and sapphires for my right hand I think is pretty. I asked the jeweler to hold it and they sent me this photo. Kind of a small stack :)

I'm also still considering the Cartier Trinity ring. Does anyone have that piece and can comment on comfort, etc? Our closest Cartier store is 5 hours away.

I have the Cartier trinity ring. It is comfortable, but I don't wear it (it was a gift.) I believe this design was used as a wedding band for the Russian Orthodox, symbolizing the Father Son, and Holy Spirit. Cartier says it symbolizes me, myself and I.

Oooh I looove the set of stacking rings from the jeweler! I have a few and I like to mix and match them. Right now I’m wearing two — hard to get a photo but one is yellow gold and one is white gold.

Sue - love your rings - I would like to add a little gold into that set above if I can figure out a way. I do love the look!

Zalco - I'm curious why you don't wear your trinity ring. Feel free to tell me to mind my own business :)

I don't get an overtly religious intent from the Cartier literature about the trinity ring. Stuff about marriage/love/relationships. I think trinity (Trinity) can mean whatever you want it to mean.

When we were married I wanted the Cartier Trinity ring but "with a twist." I did not like the tricolor. Instead, I wanted two yellow gold bands and one diamond pave. To me, it was perfect symbolism. The union of gold creating a family represented by diamonds. I worked only a few blocks from Cartier and made an appointment. Turns out, they do not do any custom work. I then found my own jeweler to make it. It looked exactly the same (I always thought it was a proprietary trick but no). A year later I saw a full page ad in the NYT from Cartier with "my" ring! I want royalties.

My take on the rolling ring... It is quite heavy, which makes sense. It is kind of fun to fidget with but also sort of a nuisance. The rings scratch each other (obvs), which is a drag IMHO. It is also quite a feat to resize if needed. I was pregnant when i had mine made (oops) and it was always too big after that. It used to slide off my finger and once I nearly flung it into a toll booth basket along with my quarter!

A few years ago I opted for a simpler ring, the Cartier yellow gold love band,which I wear stacked with my diamond engagement ring (with a basket setting mimicking my grandmother's ring), and a diamond and sapphire ring channel set band I got in India on vacation.

For years I was very much into jewelry, watches, and particularly fond of Mikimoto. I still enjoy my Cartier and Bulgari watches, and sometimes my diamond studs. As for the rest, meh. I love tortoise and i have prob 4-5 pairs of tortoise earrings. I like big statement necklaces; delicate things get lost on me. These are trendy and so cheap compared to what i used to buy.

I buy my girls fine jewelry but it doesn't interest me much anymore. I guess partly I realize how wildly overpriced it is and how it does not hold any value. When my Mom went into assisted living, my DS got her jewelry appraised. The levels were so cheap relative to what was paid, I bought it all myself from my siblings. I am getting more and more curmudgeonly about luxury goods. When I look at my jewelry, I think a lot of it (here we go again) looks dated. To me, that includes rolling rings. I know they are still sold and popular, but to me the look peaked a while back. I never realized how much jewelry is trendy. Watches seem to be an exception; I have two diff Cartier tanks and they may in fact be timeless (pun intended) YMMV.

I love the trinity rings. I got into the habit of having a stacked look on my left hand, small thin gold wedding band with my engagement ring which is a Tiffany Schlumberger diamond and yellow gold 16 Stone ring. So I use my right hand for colored stones, pearls or my signet.

Mtn, I love what you did with your ring ring. And I double checked, the Russians beat Cartier to that design by a few centuries ;-)

Russia and France

Russian and French wedding rings come in a wide variety of designs. In France, a wedding band is often a family heirloom. Unlike in other Western countries, the engagement ring can have gemstones such as rubies, emeralds, or sapphires instead of traditional diamonds. Meanwhile, in Russia, wedding rings often consist of three multi-colored, interlocking bands, known as triple rolling rings. These three bands of rose, white, and yellow gold symbolize the Holy Trinity of Christian orthodox religion, or the past, present, and future of the couple. There are also no stones set in the ring.

A friend has the Cartier white gold and diamond trinity ring and it is beyond gorgeous!! I get what you are saying about rolling rings perhaps having peaked. Although, my friend's diamond one looks pretty fab and current.

Love your wedding ring stack. I think one reason I may be leaning toward thin stacking rings is that I can add/switch out with my wedding rings. I definitely don't want to acquire something I won't wear regardless of how it holds (or does not hold) its value.

And, I agree that Cartier tank watches are an enduring classic. Love to see yours mtn!

I can’t stand to wear anything too busy on my fingers which is why my dainty little stacking rings work for me. For anniversary #25, I simplified my engagement/wedding rings and upgraded to one sparkly ring. It is so much easier to wear.

I can only wear rings on my ring finger, too. I don’t know how people wear multiple rings on multiple fingers...I wish I could tolerate it (must be a sensory thing) because I do love rings and I have quite a few!

I've also thought of doing that with my wedding set Sue - I love the simplicity. And I'm with you - I cannot seem to adjust to having rings on my "other" fingers. I think rings on pinkie fingers and middle fingers look great on other women, but it just wouldn't work for me.

I didn't like pave for many years, but now I do. Pretty band, Sue. Simple but different.

I mix it up, and dont always wear all 3 bands. I have other rings too but I agree rings can be annoying.

Check out these handmade and inexpensive stackable rings from Sundance.

I prefer gold because it goes better with my light hair and skin and these rings have both silver and gold.

Rings

Those are pretty Oakley!

For me, it's this quirky antique charm bracelet – each charm tells a story! Also, kudos on the CZ studs – classy move. If you're diving into the right-hand bling, maybe a statement ring?
