Who knew that Jay-Z and David Cameron have something in common?
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?
Because we're nosy , we've made a list of all the married celebs who don't wear wedding rings. Check it out below.
Slide 2 of 7
Prince William
Prince William doesn't wear a wedding ring, apparently, according to the palace, because of 'personal preference. His brother Harry does however wear one.
Will Smith and Jada Pinkett Smith
Neither Will nor Jada wear wedding rings, but they've been married since 1997, so it doesn't seem to be causing them any major problems.
David Cameron
David and Sam Cam have been married since 1996, but he doesn't wear a wedding ring. When he was PM people made quite a lot out of the fact that he wore neither a ring nor a watch.
Beyonce and Jay-Z
Neither Bey nor Jay wears a wedding ring. They've never said why.
Olivia Palermo
Olivia Palermo doesn't wear a wedding ring, though she does wear her canary yellow engagement ring. It's possible that the stone on the engagement ring is too big to fit a wedding band with it.
Ivanka Trump
Donald Trump doesn't wear a wedding ring, and neither does his daughter Ivanka. She does wear a ring on her right ring finger, which may well serve the same purpose. In some cultures the right ring finger is for your wedding ring, rather than the right.

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).
