Girl I met in Kiev still wears a wedding ring, is this normal ?

[UkGraham]

Girl I met in Kiev still wears a wedding ring on her her right hand which seems to be the tradition in Ukraine (she 's is divorced). I thought nothing of it till I got home then realised it was opposite hand to the uk.
However I have been checking some of the dating sites and quite a few women also have rings on that finger so I am a bit confused, any one know the answer?
Should I be concerned? ???

That's probably something for you two to work out.  I assume you are still in contact?

[UkGraham]

Yes Bc still in contact. I did ask and she said it wasn't a wedding ring. I doubt anyone would be that brazen to wear one, but who knows, just wondered if anyone knew of the customs regarding rings

[BC]

Any particular reason to doubt her?

Re: custom, my wife and I wear out wedding bands on the right hand, pretty much per FSU 'norm'.

Tradition is wearing wedding ring at left hand in a case of divorce

( Though I know some women-widdows in past and married again who wear two wedding rings on right hand now Truth tell I have not idea is it "tradition" or their own decision

And btw are you sure you saw exactly WEDDING ring?

If it was just a ring it meant nothing Wedding ring is that simple gold ring without any "decoration"

[UkGraham]

BC I have no reason to doubt her really.
Thanks Elen, Actually I don't know if it was a  weddding ring as such, I thought that finger was reserved just for wedding rings. I assume I am mistaken.

[Elen]

No all 10 fingers are avalable for "common" ring. So you have a lot of opportunities to decorate your girl with rings

Graham,

Now that the mystery is solved how did you otherwise enjoy your trip?  First time to Kiev?

BTW Welcome to RWD!

Cheers!

[UkGraham]

Thanks BC,
I enjoyed the trip very much, although it was the coldest place I have ever been.

Then we know you've never been to Canada!
Welcome to RWD!
Wedding rings here are just a plain gold band, sometimes like my wife, they will where the gold band & the engagement ring together on the right hand. Some if widowed will continue to where the wedding ring out of respect but never if divorced that I have seen. Then it goes on the left hand.
But as Elen said all fingers are available for regular rings so you can adorne your honey in gold & diamonds, a girls two best friends!

Why just not ask her directly?

Of course he can. We all know that.

But....sometimes the answers are a bit devious? I once asked an RW ( who was truly divorced) about a gold ring she was wearing.

Question: Why do you wear that ring?
Answer: Because I can.
Question: But why do you wear it?
Answer: I like rings.

[Zhena]

The next question might be-why on the right hand instead of left?
