Wedding day jewelry???? 10pts?

I’m 21 years old. Me and my fiance are very minimalistic, we own very little by choice. I’m laid back, I don’t fuss with hair, makeup (I don’t even own anything besides cover up) or fashion. Our wedding is only having 30 guests, is at a lake, our reception is a bbq, all very much in the style of me and my fiance. I however grew up in the jewelry industry, work in the jewelry industry, and I love jewelry (on pretty much everyone but myself). Besides some things I inherited from my grandma that sit at my parent’s house, I only own 10 pieces of jewelry, and 7 of them I wear to work as a sales technique to sell more expensive pieces. I don’t like my work pieces. They are "investments" and expensive, but I feel so silly wearing them anywhere but work, I’m not exactly the type who likes to be dripping in jewels. The only pieces I wear outside of work are my engagement ring, my pearls and my sole pair of earrings (carved ivory hoops). But at my parents good sense, I recently designed and cast 2 new pieces and tore up and re-made a pair of earrings from my grandma I never cared for so I’d have a few fun things I enjoy wearing. I’m not sure if it would be too much to wear these pieces at my wedding. And the last thing I want to do is throw off the rich snob vibe to my new in-laws (not his parents and siblings, we’re all very close now, but his other relatives I’ve never met)! What do you think?-

-Engagement ring and after ceremony, wedding band (absolutely wearing these)
-18" strand, 11mm pearls with my custom-designed frog clasp (absolutely wearing these too)
-Earrings I re-did, which have a color change garnet center and diamonds going around to make a "flower", dangling from lever-backs with single diamond (might just wear my regular ivory hoops)
-"Branch" bracelet, in green gold with a yellow gold "nest" on a "branch" containing my conch pearl (one of the most complicated pieces I’ve ever designed, and the conch pearl was an extremely hard stone to hunt down)
-Green gold right hand ring with my grandma’s 2.5 ct emerald cut diamond "framed" in wire and has 2 small side diamonds (this is the piece I think may put me into bad "snob" territory, but hey, I inherited this diamond and it seems sad to just leave it locked up in the safety deposit box all the time, my grandma would want me to wear and enjoy it)

Suggestion? I do like my 3 new pieces I made, but again, I’m going to feel so silly wearing them because most 21 year olds don’t have or wear stuff like this, and our wedding is far from "formal".

If my fiance has a gemstone engagement ring, where does she wear the wedding ring?

Engagement ring has a ruby in it and has been passed down through generations. We are wondering what type of wedding band/ring you get to accompany the gemstone ring and on which finger do you wear it? Same finger as the Eng. Ring or on the other hand?

does the engagement ring go first on your finger or the band after you marry?

Wedding ring- Is this appropriate?

I’ve been wearing a ring I never liked, which was my mother in laws. Let’s just leave it at that.

I’m getting a new ring. Would it be inappropiate to get a single ring with a diamond rather than a bridal set? To just have a solitaire like an engagement ring, without a wedding band?
