Everyone has different beliefs on this. The most common is that the wedding band goes on first (closest to the palm) then the engagement ring. This is because the vein in the left ring finger is the most direct to the heart. So the wedding ring should be the ring closest to your heart because it reflects and symbolizes love.

On the wedding day, the bride wears the engagement ring on her right hand, during the ceremony, so the wedding ring can go on first, and it is not supposed to be taken off. Then, bride can put the engagement ring back on after, just above the wedding ring.

If you don't work with your hands or you don't think you'll damage the ring then you make want to consider some of the more precious metals available. White gold, yellow gold, platinum, and palladium offer a much richer look than the hard metals. Vintage Jewelry
