Diamond Claddagh Ring Questions
question about a ring?
is it weird to wear an engagement ring just because i like it? my mom got remarried and she gave me her old ring from my dad. im wearing it on my middle finger on my right hand. its not obnoxiously large either, its just a small pear cut diamond with 12 tiny diamonds on the band
is that strange? i also have a sapphire ring from my boyfriend on my left ring finger, a claddagh ring on my left middle finger, and a larger claddagh ring also from my boyfriend on my pinkie. (i like rings haha)
I don’t think its weird at all. As long as its pretty and that you like it. People won’t know its an engagement ring unless you told them (normally).
