Wearing Them on Separate Hands

The Two-Hand Look:

2. Your Engagement ring is too big, and it does not fit the Band.
3. You desire a distinctive transformation in the look.

Bonus:

With a ring finger guard, your ring is also secure, and you no longer need to worry about swelling, and thus stay comfortable much longer, especially when pregnant or your hands are swollen.

• Select an engagement ring with a raised setting or one that is to be stacked.
