Curious why some people wear multiple rings on their hand.

Hi, Rick! I only wear one ring - my wedding ring. I have an engagement ring with an opal but I don't wear it all the time as I'm a bit cack-handed and am afraid of losing it! I don't wear much jewellery as a rule. But I've seen people whose hands are positively weighed down by rings. Maybe the individual rings have sentimental significance - owned by their Mum or grandma, maybe! Or maybe they just like to look "blingy"! Each to their own!

Even one ring is kind of a irritant for me to wear,

I used to wear about 15 rings in total as a teen to mid twenties - I liked sparkly things mostly they were inexpensive and went with the whole 'look' I used to go for - all brightly coloured hair, piercings, tattoos and a lot of glitter!! Nowadays the jewellery etc is just not practical - and my 'look' is more 'whats clean'? as a reflection of the changes made in my life. I find that if I do put jewellery it irritates me skin and feels uncomfortable.

One on each 'ring finger'. One from my parents for my 16th and mrs oioioi's dead dad's wedding ring, which for some reason he gave to me before he died. I used to have at least one on each finger, and a wrist full of bangles, and a coat full of studs...and dummies!

I don't wear rings at all and never have. I hate the feel of them around my fingers.

I've never been one for jewellry - except for earrings. I have 7 piercings in each ear, although nowadays I only wear two in each ear (too damn lazy to keep taking 14 rings in and out).

I did wear a belly-bar until recently, but I took that out and the piercing seems to have closed up. I might get it reopened.

I can't stand anything around my neck, either. So, a watch and copper bangle on my left wrist (horsewoman's back, and copper does help) and four earrings is my limit.

no, jewelry gets in the way of my manliness

tata: i dont even have a watch

That's just an excuse to stop lovely women in the street and ask, "Have you got the time?" (double entendre intended, huh?).

and you know what, it doesn't work. maybe i just ask the wrong type of girls.
"if you got the time, i got the money baby. "

I used to wear 2 rings in my right hand and a shitload of bracelets on my left hand I left some stuff at my parents' home, so when I go back to visit I'll get the rest of my stuff.

Just like with anything else some people look good with a bunch of jewelry on some don't..

Mmm, yeah.... maybe your approach needs a bit of tweaking

I have a lot of beautiful jewellery that I hardly ever wear.
Rings tend to annoy me....multiple rings look tacky.

Jewelery bugs me. I don't wear any, not even a watch. I have worn watches and would wear one again.

Plus where does the jewelery come from eh? Diamonds and that. Why wear some crap that some poor little kid has been forced to mine in some dustbowl? You could turn it around I suppose and wear it in honour of the poor little kid...hmmm

I can't really wear rings anyway I have weird boney fingers My knuckles are bigger than my fingers? I mean the straight fingery bits You'd have to see them

My hands are nice though My ex's mum said they were perfect

OMG, I've got fingers like that too, irrie! It's really weird. My wedding ring is a bit too big for my finger but it had to be the size it is to go over my knuckles! I've kinda got used to it sliding about, though, now...
