On which finger do I wear the diamond eternity band?

Could someone please tell me once and for all which finger is meant to adorn a diamond eternity band? Consider the fact that I wear a diamond engagement ring and a platinum wedding band on my left hand ring finger.

Eternity bands don't always represent marriage. If you were given an eternity band and it doesn't represent marriage, then you shouldn't wear it on the fourth finger of your left hand. You can wear it on any other finger.

An eternity ring should replace the engagement ring in my opinion. While a wedding band is worn constantly, the eternity ring acknowledges a settled and content phase of a couple, long after the engagement ring first represented the excitement of a new commitment.

The eternity band is usually worn on the same finger as the wedding band. However, this is a matter of personal choice. The eternity ring may replace the engagement ring or wedding band, or it could be worn as an addition to these rings.

Many times eternity bands are actually used as wedding or engagement rings. Obviously, if you are wearing it as a wedding ring, you place it on your left hand, ring finger. If you already have a wedding ring, and/or engagement ring, then you can wear it with your wedding band or engagement ring.

 Because diamond eternity bands are a classic, simple almost always only diamonds, they can be worn paired with any other diamond ring. Diamonds and diamonds go well together. In fact, if your rings are small enough, you can wear all three together. I would only recommend that the base metal of your eternity ring and the base metal of your engagement ring/ wedding band be the same. However, the combination of bands shouldn't weigh your finger down or make it seem "diamond heavy". You don't want to look like your whole finger is turning into a diamond. A diamond ring should be a delicate accessory, not a flashy overpowering mound on your hand.

 If the three rings is too much for one finger, then separate them, or mix and match. You can replace your engagement ring with your new eternity ring, or you can replace your wedding band with your new eternity ring. Whichever you prefer.

If you are wearing your eternity ring as an anniversary ring, you should either replace your wedding band or wear it on the fourth finger of your right hand while keeping your wedding ring on your left hand.
