My Dad died in 1999.
My Mom and Dad split up in the early 80s, BUT my Mom kept the engagement and wedding ring SET my Dad gave her.
She's giving them to me :). They are a white gold and beautiful!!
Only thing, my fiance gave me an engagement ring lil over 5 years ago and it's GOLD . We are now getting married in August. I don't want any of the 3 rings left out!
How should I wear them? Please help

You can take your engagement ring from your fiancee and have it dipped. Dipping in the chemical bath will make it white gold and match the other two but it will still be the same ring/setting that he gave you. This usually runs about 40 dollars. Then you can wear your engagment ring from your fiancee on your left hand with your wedding band and your mom's ring on your right hand.

What is wrong with you ppl? Why would you tell her not to wear rings from a divorce? Are you really that dumb? Do you think that the divorce will "rub off"?
Obviously, the rings mean something to you, so definitely wear them. But, I can understand about not wanting to wear white and yellow gold together, no matter if they're on separate hands; it just looks trashy. Since the other two are white, get a white gold setting for the engagement ring. It shouldn't cost too much (it's the setting you're replacing, not the diamond) and I'm sure your fiancee will understand. After all, he gave you the ring as a symbol of his love, and that love won't lessen any if you get a white gold setting to replace the yellow. What matters is the thought behind it, not if it's in the same exact condition it was in when you received it.

Have you lost 9 out of your 10 fingers? Wear a set together on your wedding ring finger (whatever it is in your culture), and wear the other engagement ring on the opposite hand. Problem solved, and all the rings are accounted for.
I wear my wedding band on my left hand, per US tradition, and my engagement ring on my right - as they don't go together. Haven't been picked up by the fashion police yet. How you wear your rings is up to you! Congrats.

You could turn one into a necklace, or just wear all three if the go together. Or you could use the engagement ring your fiance gave you, and your parents wedding ring. I know they are different colors, but it would be a great conversation piece. Then you could give your parents engagment ring to one of your children.

It's great that your mom gave you those rings. However, you really shouldn't wear them on your wedding day. It's the time for you to put your engagement ring on the other hand, have your hand bare to receive the wedding band at the ceremony - then after the ceremony, you can put the engagement ring on overtop.
Any other time you can wear your mom's rings as "dress" rings.

i like the answerer that suggested taking all three rings to the jeweler and asking for something to made from all of the stones, but you could also just have your engagement ring your fiance gave you set in a white gold band. that would probably be the easiest, and then that would probably help spare his feelings.

I'd wear the rings your fiance gave you on your left hand. The rings from your mother, though you appreciate them, came from a divorce and I wouldn't wear them with the exception of on my right hand. This way you can honor both sets of rings.

I'd wear the ones from your hubby on your left hand and the other ones either on the middle finger of your left hand or on your right hand. I wouldnt combine them all. 2 diamond engagement rings would look funny. Just an opinion though.

you should wear the one that you fiance gave you on your left and the rings that your mom gave you, even tho you respect them and love them they did come from a divorse, i think you should wear those ring(s) on your left hand. hope i helped!
