What’s your impression when you see see someone wears a ring around their necklace instead of their finger?

2. Yes it might seem like the ring belongs to a dead person lol. But your preference on where he wears the ring doesn’t matter. It’s his outfit/accessory not yours. And it’s not even a wedding ring..

   Now he just doesn’t want to lose the 2nd ring and he found a solution but you don’t like it… I mean a guy with a ring around his necklace is most likely not looking to date, I think this is one to just let go

3. I wear my wedding ring on a necklace because I have arthritic knuckles.

4. I think wearing a ring around the neck is nice. There may be a good reason they wear it around their neck instead of on their finger. E.g. for work- my partner and i work in a laboratory. No rings for us. At a very biig stretch, we could wear a ring on a long necklace tucked in our shirts.
   If you’re prone to losing rings, a ring on a necklace indicates you’re making an effort not to lose the ring, but show that you value it and still want to wear it.

5. I cannot wear rings at my job, so I wear my rings around my neck. I choose that over wearing them on my finger 100% of the time now. I also regularly forget to put the necklace back on after a shower so don’t wear rings at all. My impression is nothing. I don’t believe a rings presence or lack thereof really means anything personally.

6. Impressions I might have:

   – Gained weight and hands got too fat

   – Lost weight and hands got too thin

   – Can’t wear rings at work

   – Likes the look of a necklace

   – Memento of a person who the ring belonged to

   – Doesn’t like the feeling of rings

   Impressions I will never have:

   – Yo this dude is married and totally down to cheat because they’re just wearing a wedding ring on their neck instead of just *not wearing it at all* so it doesn’t come up in conversation because now he has to come up with a lie for why he’s got the ring around his neck to a prospective cheating partner

7. I have no impression of any kind

8. I wear my wedding and engagement ring on my necklace 98% of the time. I love my rings bit I work with my hands a lot and I wash my hands so much I’ll get ring rash. I worked in a bakery for years and would take it off for work and it just became habit to keep it on my necklace.
   I don’t think much if I see someone else do it.
   I did eventually get a tattoo on my ring finger but I ended up getting a German shorthaired pointer outline lol so idk if ppl actually think that means I’m married or not bit oh well.
   I’ve never noticed a difference in how ppl look at me or approach me etc.

9. To me it means that person likely works with their hands in some way so they can’t wear rings.

   You aren’t married? why are you trying to make him wear a ring?

10. I plan on wearing my wedding ring around my neck. I tend to lose rings and also don’t like the way that they feel on me (probably why I lose them, since I subconsciously take them off). I didn’t think this was a big deal, when I see people do this I just assume they have sensory issues, lose rings, or maybe it doesn’t fit them properly. I wouldn’t really give it a second thought

11. >To my perspective, wearing it on a necklace means he’s still single but has an ex in his mind.

    This is a you problem. Some people have jobs where they can’t regularly wear their rings. Some people (myself included) just don’t like to wear rings on their fingers but would like to display them some other way. You’re overthinking and overreacting.

12. I would have no impression at all because I don’t care how people choose to wear their own personal jewelry

13. it makes me think they don’t wanna wear it because if they do, the dark lord sauron will be able to exert his control over them

14. >To my perspective, wearing it on a necklace means he’s still single but has an ex in his mind.

    Literally never heard this train of thought before.

    >I don’t want to be married now or soon, but I want a physical sense that we’re serious.

    Sounds more like you want to claim him and communicate to other women that he belongs to someone already. But…you do know that some women who won’t care about him wearing a ring, don’t you?

    People wear rings as decoration, too. If you aren’t married or engaged, it’s unreasonable to demand that he wear a ring on his hand. So if he isn’t wearing it on his ring finger, it won’t mean “taken man”, it’ll just be a regular ring. And why would he wear it on his ring finger if you aren’t engaged or married? Makes no sense, however you spin it.

    If you don’t trust him, and he hasn’t given you a reason to distrust him, then your insecurity is the problem here, not him not being able to cheat because he’d wear the ring on his hand instead of a necklace.

15. I’m a baker by trade and for food safety reasons you don’t want me wearing a ring on my fingers. That doesn’t make me single at all. This about the lost ring from before and some ridiculous belief you have in your head.

    I wear my family heirloom and my wedding ring on a necklace. Big deal.
