Caring for engagement ring.

Such a ridiculous question BUT I just got engaged and have no idea how to care for this beautiful ring yet. Can I wear it while working out? I do boot camp and we use weights so I didn't know if that'll scratch it. Also, do you wear rings when you shower, cook and wash your hands? I don't wanna ruin...

    I take mine off when cooking, sometimes cleaning, showering and sleeping. Other than that, I have it on when I leave the house.!

    Originally I wore my ring when I did everything and I have an amethyst as my main Stone in mine gagement ring and I ended up cracking it and it was loose and I had to take it to two different Jewelers to get finally get it fixed and when I did get it fixed and I'll take it off when I shower when I wash dishes and sometimes when I go to sleep because I don't want anything to happen to it and plus they said that when you have a high-profile ring it's better to do that anyway and plus I don't want to mess up my engagement ring either cuz it's gorgeous and I'm sure yours is too but I will definitely take it off when you work out or when you shower or when you wash dishes at least you can wear it any other time but just to keep the Brilliance in it and not mess it up at all

    I originally wore mine when I did everything and I ended up chipping my stone but I have an amethyst as my main stone and it's also what they call a high-profile ring apparently. when I cracked the stone or when I chipped it I had to take it to two different Jewelers to finally get it fixed and now I take it off when I wash dishes when I shower and sometimes even when I go to bed just because I don't want anything to happen to it. I wear it all the other times but if you really want to take care of your ring I would definitely take it off during those times and especially when you work out I would think that would put it at a higher risk of becoming damaged if you want to wear something else like you go to Walmart and get a $10 ring to wear in place of it or a lot of people are getting the silicone Rings how to wear in place when they're doing something and they don't want to wear their engagement ring I've actually considered doing that myself just in case if I'm out somewhere and I'll start doing something I need to take my ring off I can just slip that on. so it's definitely an idea but I would definitely take it off when you wash dishes when you shower. if you want to when you go to sleep and definitely when you're working out

    I take mine off to shower and wash dishes because I read somewhere that soap can soften emeralds. I also just get really paranoid it will slip off while I'm doing dishes and go down the drain. I also won't wear it to cook raw chicken, burger or anything messy.

    I put mine on in the morning before I leave for work, and I take it off as soon as I get home. I never wear it to the gym and on days like today when I'm running errands out, I won't wear it. I will however wear it out to a birthday party tonight.

    I take mine off as soon as I get home and it's the last thing I put on before I leave in the morning. I don't wear it for cooking, cleaning, or working out. I just wear my band (which is plain white gold and even then I take it off if I'm cleaning with harsh chemicals).

    I take it off while working out, showering and cooking where i have get all in the meat.

    insure your ring as well.

    I bought a steamer and i also use regular jewelry cleaner with a gem polishing cloth.

    i carry this everywhere as well lol. I hate when my diamond gets dirty & loses its sparkle.

    I love this

    I wear mine all the time, but there are times when I take it off at night while sleeping. When I start back at the gym again I will not wear it at all maybe just my band.

    Definitely take it off while working out. You could damage it without even realizing it. I take mine off when I sleep, cooking with raw meat like making hamburgers or something, and when showering. Otherwise I leave mine on all day every day. The jeweler we got mine at said with the warranty I can take it in and have it cleaned at any time but you should still be a little cautious from time to time.
