I like it. It is very pretty, and does not cheap, even if it was inexpensive, if you know what I am trying to get across.
I have done that same thing to keep from getting hit on. Many of the guys I work with seem to think it is a meat market, so if you are not wearing a ring, you are fair game. I have a beautiful band that I have worn for years, and I love it, but I actually flung it off my finger since for some reason, it is now too big except when my fingers swell. I bought a pretty set with Russian made fake diamonds, and it looks almost real. I has a 2 carat stone in the engagement ring, and 5 smaller stones in the band. I thinnk my SO thought it was a hint, because he immediately brought up our occasional discussion of getting married. We are still going on the assumption of if it ain't broke, don't fix it. It has served us well for 22 years.

I think the ring you bought is very pretty


I agree with what some of the others posted- the wedding band goes on the bottom and the engagement ring goes on top of it

A few things to add.

1. I've always worn mine wedding ring engagement ring on my left hand.

2. The ring is beautiful, and I'm glad you like it.

3. It doesn't matter if it's fake. You are with your love, and if he and you both like it then it's fine. My engagement ring doesn't have a diamond in it because I don't like them. I have a beautiful red garnet set in white gold.

to you!

Under the cats, mostly.
The wedding ring closest to you, engagement ring ouside. It's all just because you remove the engagement ring for the wedding ceremony and then put it back on afterwards.

Second, it's a very pretty ring. Who cares if it's not real? It's about what's inside, not what's on your fingers

Your ring is gorgeous and everyone will be so happy for you so that is what matters most.
My engagement ring saga:
Hubby gave me a family ring, sapphire surrounded by diamonds. It was too big and the jeweler said if we cut it down to my size that he couldn't guarantee that it would be okay. So, I wore it with tape like a guy's ring until we were married.
We got fancy wedding bands with a few little diamonds on them. Had to have it sized down, too. Then my Mom sold us her diamond ring from her ex-husband. She wouldn't give it to us because she thought it would be bad luck since that was such a bad marriage.
I had the diamond reset in my size. I had to wear it below the wedding ring because of the way the rings looked and fit.
Then the wedding band separated in the back because it had been resized.
So, we got that same diamond set in one of those wedding engagement ring settings. I got the setting in my size. That diamond has been in 3 different settings.
I wear the original sapphire engagement ring on my pointer.
Moral of story: Make sure the ring is in your size!

I've seen people wear it both ways, but the most common is the wedding band first, engagement ring on second. I like that idea of wearing the engagement ring on the right hand during the ceremony so you can put it back on the left hand once the band is on.

I didn't want anything flashy for a wedding band (even my engagement ring is a just a solitaire in white gold - I'm pretty simple), so I have a 3mm white gold band and Rob has a tungsten carbide band. I told him he can always buy me an anniversary band with diamonds around it in the future
I'll wear that one above the engagement ring, like someone here already said.
[PS: So excited to wear the wedding band too .... 1½ months! It makes my solitaire look even more sparkly!]

Btw, that ring is beautiful! I used to wear a fake ring on my left hand to keep guys away when Rob & I were dating and lived in different states, and even before then when I wasn't interested in finding someone!
