Wide wedding rings, 70s style, do you still wear them?

My daughter wears mine. It no longer fitted me and was beautiful- platinum and engraved with a pattern. I never liked wearing it anyway.

We got married in 1970 and had the fashionable wide, 'square' wedding rings. Mine kept wearing away the setting on my engagement ring until I eventually swapped it for late Mil's curtain ring style one which has been fine.

I have a Cornish gold eternity ring.

I got married in 1979 and have a ring of the period although not wide. It is a chain of hearts which is quite pretty but I had to have it enlarged in recent years so it has a plan bit on it that I have to twist round to hide it. We are coming up to our 50th in a few years and I have decided to have a Clogau wedding ring. I have several pieces of this jewelry which contains small amounts of Welsh gold reflecting my Father's side and my love of all things Welsh.

I wore my wide wedding ring for 39 years, until it started to cause serious issues with blood flow to my finger. I managed to get it off. I have looked at getting it resized or replaced but my knuckle is now quite wide and my finger can change size by one and a half sizes so I’m not sure if it would stay on. It’s been off now for nearly two years and you can still see the dent in my finger. I also still twiddle with it even though there’s nothing there!

Does your DH wear a ring? You have worn a ring since 1978 you are not happy with!? Please remember that marriage is far more than a ring, remind your DH of that fact too. I recognise how difficult this is for you but do stand up fir yourself- this is 2026, not 1920!

I got married in 1968 and my ring is wide. I have no issue with it.

Fashions come and go, but with luck your marriage remains constant, and as a symbol of your marriage so should your ring,

I have a ring worn by my great grandmother, so Victorian, which is wide and very highly decorated. It is rather lovely and fits perfectly.

I was married in 1980 and still wear my wedding ring. The only time I haven't is when I got some sort of allergy and even then I wore it on a chain round my neck.

It's not as wide as some of the 70s ones (I googled to see what they were like) but it is a statement piece with carvings and white god inserts on the yellow gold ring. It is of its time, but I still love it, and can't imagine not wearing it. It's not uncomfortable though - that would make a difference.

Mine is fairly wide ,never had an issue with it until I dey eloped arthritis in my hand after breaking my wrist.
I got it off without cutting it and wore a gold wedding band that I bought for myself for a couple of years.When it was coming up for our 50th anniversary last year I wanted to wear the original ring so I took it to be altered.
My finger is just 2 sizes bigger but the knuckle is so twisted and enlarged it needed 4 sizes to get it on and off without a struggle.
My ring cost about £30 in 1975 the extension to it cost £260. lol.
My OH thought I should just have a new one but I feel much better with my own ring back on my finger…he did buy me a new ring in place of my engagement ring though which is lovely .More a half eternity than an engagement style.
