I know there was a trend in the Evangelical Christian world awhile back of wearing silver or gold looking rings on the ring finger of the left hand as "purity" rings. The idea was supposedly to remind the wearer that they were planning to/had promised God/themselves to remain "pure" (that is, not to have sex) untill marriage. It was in the same vein as the craze for WWJD (What Would Jesus Do) bracelets.

It's not something I ever bought into. I mean, you either believe in premarital purity or you don't, and a ring is not going to make all that much difference if you don't. Also, it did tend to have the effect of being mistaken for a wedding band. As far as I know, though, it was worn by both genders equally, not just by women.

Personally, I never bothered with a nonwedding ring wedding ring, since I am nothng if not a non trend follower (a triple negative is still a positive, right?), so I didn't follow that trend either.

Just thought I would share that tidbit.
