Celebrities who dont wear wedding rings

If you want to know whether or not someone is married, the quickest thing to do is to sneak a glance at their left hand, and look for a wedding ring. But, in the case of some celebrities, their naked ring finger doesn't mean that they're single.

There are plenty of celebrities who don't wear wedding rings. Some, like David Cameron and Prince Philip, are traditionalists who don't wear them because it's not considered to be part of old-school etiquette.

Others eschew the ring because they spend their live in costumes on set, so have to take it off all of the time. And some couples, like Jay-Z and Beyoncé, just don't wear them. Maybe they realise that everyone in the developed world knows that their married so they have no need for rings?

For most couples, getting married involves a lot of shopping—especially for jewelry. And while the exchanging of the rings is a big part of some ceremonies, wearing the bling post-vows isn't always a thing.

In fact, the New York Times recently reported that Donald Trump never wears his wedding band. Fun facts, right?

Curious who else doesn't feel the need to keep a ring on it after getting hitched? We looked into which celebs rock naked ring fingers and why.

Ivanka Trump

Apparently, forgoing traditional wedding band rules is a Trump family tradition. While she hasn’t ditched hers altogether, Ivanka Trump wears her band on her right hand, not her left ring finger. On Twitter, she addressed concerns about her bare left finger, saying only that she prefers to wear her ring on her right hand. 

Beyoncé and Jay-Z

You may have noticed Jay and Bey don’t wear wedding rings—but it’s not because of post-Lemonade troubles. Rather than traditional rings, the power couple has tattooed a Roman numeral “IV” on their ring finger. According to E! Online, the roman numeral four honors both of their birthdays (Jay-Z is December 4 and Beyoncé is September 4), as well as their wedding date (April 4).
