Don's absent wedding ring...
I must admit that I have not seen season 1 yet. But I began "tivo-ing" Mad Men beginning this season. Do we know why Don doesn't wear a wedding ring? Just curious....










Don didn't wear a wedding ring in season 1, either -- he was taught that men don't wear jewelry (although he does wear cuff links). You should rent Season 1, or download it from iTunes.
Hi madwoman!
I don't think it was uncommon for men to not wear wedding bands back then.
I am not sure when double ring wedding ceremonies became the norm.
My husband hasn't worn his wedding ring in years (and he is 58) but I know where he is every night, believe me. He is no Don Draper.
My father never wore a wedding ring, and he was happily married to my mother for 40 years. My brother has never worn one in over 30 years of marriage. It means nothing.
My father has never worn a wedding ring, and neither did my grandfather. I agree with the other comments and don't think it means anything either. Good eye though!
My dad had a wedding ring and wore it (mostly) until his fingers got too swollen to wear it. Didn't matter to mom - they were high school sweethearts and were together 60 years, married for almost 53 years. My own husband can't wear his ring to work because of the equipment he works with; better he should leave the ring behind than lose his finger. He wears it for special occasions.
It wasn't common for American men to wear wedding rings until the 1970s. When I got married in 1985 and mentioned to my (Wasp) mother that my husband would have a wedding band to match mine, she said, "Ooh, how odd... Is he Catholic? That's a Catholic thing."

Don's background is hardworking backbreaking physical labor. No farmer who valued his hands would dare to wear jewelry when working w/ dangerous machinery . Growing up in the depression era, I doubt if he saw many husbands who had the luxury of owning jewelry.
In any event, it would have been Betty who would have purchased a ring for him and perhaps they had a conversation about it orrr not....
In season 1, I don't see that wearing a wedding ring or not would have been even a slight hinderence to Don's affairs. He chose women who were not shopping for a MRS and mite feel that he was advertising that he was not on the market.
I think it just the year that they were in.It was not common to wear a wedding ring in the sixties. I am not sure why this was.

It relies heavily on touch because the pages I have a user acting on, are usually a collection of child records. uggs outlet Caching is a big help in this respect.cheap uggsThanks
Yeah you better don't forget your wedding ring anywhere because it can turn out to be a real tragedy lately. Like in those comedy movies. I remember losing my diamond watches few months ago and I was really afraid you know. Thanks to my son who found them under the sofa. I don't know how I got them there. Thanks for the great article here!
