Is it acceptable to wear a wedding band from a previous marriage when getting re-married?

Many people commonly believe that wearing an ex’s jewelry is considered “tacky”.

Wearing (and keeping) anything from an ex depends on so many things, including your current relationship and the value (both emotional and financial) of the pieces.

If you wouldn’t throw away some other item like house wares, etc., why would you throw away your wedding band? Everyone has a past. Most of us don’t end up with the first person we ever date, so it would be unreasonable for anyone to expect that his/her current significant other has totally purged every item ever received from someone they used to be with. You can move on emotionally, physically, etc. in every way, but decide you like the jewelry from someone you’re no longer involved with. I don’t think there’s anything shameful or tacky about that.
