kedushen ring is a plain gold ring with no diamonds which is given at chupa, I have one that has diamonds all around which I believe is called a wedding band.

No wedding band is the ring you got married with. The Diamond one you’re describing is an eternity band

That is the wedding band.

Right. Which is why it's weird OP wrote kiddushin AND wedding bands.

I figured op meant eternity band. I think a certain crowd wears an eternity ring as their wedding band rather than the ring they were given under the chuppah.

I don’t wear any rings to work. . I work in healthcare with an indigent population (When I was new, I wore my engagement ring and my patient offered to pawn it for me if I needed extra cash).

I wear nothing in my house. ☺️omg! I wear clothes, I mean no rings.

Socially (shul/PTA/simchas/supermarket on non-work days…) I wear my engagement diamond and a diamond band on my left hand and a ring which alternate (based on my outfit/other jewelry) on the right.

I had to pawn my jewelry to not have my utilities cut off. So no, not only indigent ppl pawn their stuff. I did it out of desperation.

I wear my engagement ring, wedding band, and an anniversary ring on one finger every day. I only ever wear one other ring, on the other hand.

I have some other "everyday" rings. I wear one on my other hand sometimes when I'm in the mood. For Shabbos I usually wear a fancier ring.

I like to wear my wedding band right over my engagement one, then it feels like I'm "protecting" the engagement one. I see many people wearing that.

On the other hand I wear one with diamonds and emeralds.

Wedding ring alone on one hand (I like the way the diamond looks without any extra faff). Sometimes I’ll wear my Diamond band with it (for occasions). I lost my wedding band.

Eternity band for Shabbos or any other ring for weekday on the other hand.

1. What's a kedusha ring?
2. If you mean kiddushin, why bother with a so-called wedding ring? Everyone I know except one loopy New Ager was mekudeshet with the traditional plain gold wedding band that she later transferred to the third finger of her left or right hand depending on where she lived. Not much point to a "wedding ring" that you weren't married in unless you had the misfortune to have yours lost or stolen.
3. Why would you not wear your wedding ring every day unless you prefer to go ringless?

What is a diamond wedding ring? What is the difference between a diamond band and an eternity band?

Thank you for asking the real questions.

Recently someone was showing off her eternity band. I was not jealous. I don’t wear any of my rings. I’m too sensory and I hate how they feel.

Hey I’m sorry you had to do that. I don’t even really care about jewelry but it would hurt to have to pawn off sentimental things like that. Are things still that desperate? I’ve heard of people making money from donating plasma if that’s an option for you.

I just wear my engagement ring, never wear my wedding band or any other rings.

Maybe she got a band with tiny tiny diamonds on it like, not really an eternity band

My wedding band is actually a diamond band also, but like .10 diamonds so I guess it’s also my eternity band too

Op I would skip the actual wedding band if you fit a diamond one with your engagement ring as a set. That’s enough for people to know that you’re married.

My daily ring I wear is my graduation ring, very pretty in my school color's and its not worth so much that I am scared of losing it. I only wear my real jewelry on special occasions.

I wear a white gold ring (first wedding) and a rose gold ring (after a giyur lchumra in the beit din of Rav Karelitz in Bnei Brak).
