So, you’ve been browsing a recent magazine or scrolling through social media and you notice yet another married celebrity is sporting three bands on their left ring finger. The engagement ring stands out, bright and solitary against the two other bands. But, why in the world is someone wearing three wedding bands? Trio wedding bands are becoming more and more common these days. Let’s talk about what trio wedding bands are and how you can start rocking one! The Standard Setup Typically, a bride will wear her wedding band the furthest down on her finger and then her engagement ring above that. This is because of age-old ideals regarding wedding ring symbolism. Since many people incorrectly believed there was a vein running from your ring finger to your heart (thanks, ancient Egyptians!), many also believed the wedding band needed to be closest to your heart. Since the so-called “vein of love” doesn’t really exist, the reason we wear wedding rings the way we do is because of societal standards. While many couples are now choosing to wear their rings differently, it’s still part of the status quo to wear your rings as your wedding band and then your engagement ring. So, where does the third band come in? The answer’s simple, really — milestones!
