Do you ever take your engagement ring off? What are your "ring rules"? ๐Ÿ’

Has your new bling been a permanent fixture on your ring finger since the proposal? Or do you regularly remove your ring for your job or for certain activities? Do you abide by the "Six S Rules" and take your ring off when you sleep, shower, swim, sweat (workout), scrub (clean), or sautรฉ (cook)!...

    I only take my ring off when I take a shower, or do dishes as I'm afraid it will drop down the drain.

    I take it off at bed, when I workout, and when I shower.

    I take mine off to do dishes, shower, yard work, or anything I am going to be hard on my hands with.

    When I first got it I only took it off to shower, workout/swim, and washing dishes. My ring is a half size to big and and I got those spiral ring adjusters that worked great so I had no need to take it off. When we went to buy my wedding ring I took it off and I couldn't find it to put it back so now I take it off my often so it doesn't fly off my finger. Should be getting it resized soon so hopefully I don't have to take it off as often. I feel half naked when I don't wear it and to think I've only had it on my finger about a year.

    I am so amused by this, because I didnt know there were ring rules, but I totally do abide by the Six Ring Rules. I dont, like to sleep into, I place in back in the ring case when It's not on my finger

    Iโ€™ve been engaged since April 2019 and I donโ€™t take mine off except to clean it or to garden. I work out in it and sleep with it. In the very beginning, I took it off at night, but I forgot to put it on again the next day and I love looking at it, lol. I also figure itโ€™s made of basically the hardest substance on earth, so Iโ€™m probably not going to hurt it.

    I take mine off when I get ready for bed. Being a tired teacher, that can sometimes be 4:30 in the afternoon. I never sleep or shower with it on. Other than that, I feel naked without it.

    While I'd love to wear mine all the time (because it's fricking gorgeous!!!), we don't live on the best neighborhood, so I don't wear it if I'm out walking or running. I also don't wear it if I'm lifting weights (cardio is fine at the gym), making a messy recipe, doing heavy duty cleaning, or putting lotion on. I have a cute collection of silicone rings for those occasions. I wear my engagement ring every other chance I get though! I work at a jewelry store so I'm cleaning it every other day to keep my diamond sparkling and free of lotion and crap.

    I only take my ring off if Iโ€™m cooking or doing my hair. Other than that, itโ€™s always on my finger.

    I donโ€™t cook or clean with my ring on. He brought me multiple ring dishes so sometimes I put it in the dish so I can cook and I forget. Next I realize Iโ€™m not wearing my ring lol

    I take it off for showering and cleaning and situations where I could lose it (i.e. swimming). Itโ€™s a part of me now though so I donโ€™t like taking it off!

    I follow the 6 S's! Smiley diamond I only take it off to cook if I plan on getting my hands dirty though.

    The only time I take it off is if I'm baking something like bread that requires me to knead bread with my hands.

    I always wear it! The only times I've taken it off was when we first got engaged we were at the lake so I didn't want to lose it and right after we got back I was scared so I would take it off doing dishes and showers but now I always wear it. Unless going to open water.

    I alternate, only when at home. I take it off at night, most times. I always place it in the jewelry box
