    Please help me!

    I wanted to wear this ring for either something old or something blue, or both I suppose! But I know that your engagement ring is supposed to go on your right ring finger as well. This blue ring, two diamonds with a sapphire in the middle, was my great aunt's and it is just beautiful. Anyway it only fits on my ring finger - so for the ceremony (maybe 30 mins max) I would have to wear both this ring and the engagement ring on the same finger. Here is a picture. Does it look completely out of whack?? Let me know what you think. The blue ring band is 14k gold and the engagement ring band is platinum.

    I don't think it actually matters. It'll only be on your hand during the ceremony, where your hand will be A) covered by your bouquet or B) not being photographed.

    Don't stress! I'd wear the ring. And it's gorgeous (it's actually the reverse of my engagement ring, which is my something blue)

    I think the rings look nice together.  Also you could tie the ring to your bouquet for your something blue.

    From a purely practical point of view - as a jeweller - I would always advise against wearing gold and platinum together, as the gold 'contaminates' the platinum (tiny gold molecules get rubbed into the platinum, as it's much harder than gold) and may discolour the platinum in the future. Having said that, 30mins at the ceremony is probably ok.

    I think the sentiment far outweighs any negative points!  A lot of friends have done something similar and i assure you they were happy they did it!

    I think it looks fine, and it is a lovely sentiment!

     I am curious how many bees are wearing their e-rings on their right hands? I have heard of it, but I didn't think it was that common. I was just going to have FI put my band over my e-ring and keep it on that hand. You could always do that, and then, those rings won't be together if it bothers you.

    I say go ahead and wear both on your right hand.  It will only be until you put on your wedding band, and then just slip your engagement ring back over to your left.

    I'd go for it and wear them together...or I do like the idea of tieing the blue on onto your bouquet.
