It's a Christian tradition though, isn't it?

I must have missed at the World Media Meeting the part where only christians can wear wedding rings.

It's hardly like that
but none of the wedding ceremonies for Sikhs, Buddhists, Muslims, Jewish people, Zoroastrians, Shintoist etc traditionally have the exchange of rings as part of the ceremony - unlike Christians from whom it's a pivotal focal point of the marriage rites.

Thus a non-Christian not wearing a wedding ring is as unremarkable as, say, a white Geordie not wearing a turban...

You're quite wrong about that one....
www.weddingvendors.com/planning/articles/jewish-wedding-rings-traditions-and-customs/
weddings.iloveindia.com/indian-weddings/hindu-marriage/hindu-marriage-rituals.html
india.mapsofindia.com/culture/indian-weddings/muslim-wedding.html
...etc... just google "[religion] wedding ring".

It dates back way way way before Christianity existed.

Well fuck me
I'd genuinely no idea *stands corrected*

I've many friends of all faiths and only those from Christian families sport wedding rings. I still maintain that they're not the norm for other religions, though - I never said they were unheard of.
