It could be - all of my grandfathers wore wedding bands, and the one great-grandfather that I remember also wore one. It may have been that the trend was changing at about that time (or that my Grandfather simply couldn't justify buying a wedding band in the middle of the Great Depression and was clever in his justifications to my grandmother!).
