    Expert Answer
    Engagement rings typically have a diamond set in the center of them, while wedding bands have a simpler design.

    Can single women wear a wedding ring?
    Community Answer
    A single woman can wear anything she wants. However, a wedding ring will send the message "not available" to someone who might be interested in her.

  • Question
    How do widows wear their rings?
    Community Answer
    Some widows choose to move the ring to their opposite hand as a sign that their partner passed away. However, this differs greatly from culture to culture. In the end it all comes down to what you feel is right. You may move it to your other hand, you may leave it where it is, or you may choose to take it off completely.

    Community Answer
    Just ask. If you are planning on getting married, she should be aware of your thoughts behind this, whether it be a personal preference or a financial issue. You should be open and honest about these things.
