Wearing a ring 24/7?

I usually take my ring off as soon as I get home just so it doesn’t get dirty while I’m cooking or doing dishes. And most decent jewelers will tell you that you should take off your rings to do dishes and shower to keep the ring clean and remove it while you sleep as you can damage the prongs if you roll around in your sleep (or scratch your sleeping fiancé...whoops!)

I started to wear my ring perpetually when I first got engaged. Then I realized how active I was with my hands lol. I resisted the urge to take it off because I loved it so much but then I noticed the difference in the way my ring shines. Now to keep it safe, I take it off to shower, cook, bake, clean, or exercise. Don’t let people make you feel bad because you want to protect the investment your future hubby made for you. 💜

I take mine off before I shower or going swimming, cooking (especially if I’m touching raw meat), or if I’m doing a lot of stuff with my hands at work and I decide my ring is just in the way (I’m a veterinary assistant). So no, my ring is not worn ALL the time but I do try to keep it on. Don’t ever feel bad for taking your ring off, it’s a symbol that you are pledged to get married to your S/O but it’s expensive so treat it like it is.

I wear my ring pretty much all the time. I breifly take it off the cook, lotion my hands, and to clean and shine it up when needed.

I wear mine all the time except at night. I take it off and put it in its beautiful wood box to sleep at night

I currently am wearing a temporary ring until we find one that I love. I wear the temporary one all the time, although I may take my set off on the future depending. I've been raised that it should not come off though.

I dont take mine off. Sometimes I forget it's there lol. But just depends on your daily activities. I take it off once every 3 to 6 months to get it cleaned and inspected but it's always on.

The diamond on my ring sits high, so I don’t wear my ring to work, or when I’m just sitting at home. My fiancé used to scold me for taking it off, but I told him that I only take it off so it doesn’t get damaged since it was expensive and I don’t want to have to return it to fix it sooner rather than later. I already have to get the prongs tightened on it bc the diamond makes a jingle sound, minding you we got engaged in April. 😢 also it’s your decision if you want to wear your ring all the time or not! But I take it off when I’m cleaning too or doing yard work.

Mine too! This baby is never coming off, he'll have to cut my finger off haha. I'm also scared if I take it off I'll lose it.

My partner and i have already discussed it and she may wear hers all the time same with her wedding ring after we exchange them but im terribly rough on rings. I work with my hands doing a lot of different things and some of them end up damageing rings like crazy. Years ago i had a ring that was guaranteed to not Scuf or bend whatsoever. Within a months you couldn't tell what was on the outside of it at all just because of normal wear and tear from my work. So my partner and I have decided that while she wears hers all the time I will wear my engagement and wedding ring on a necklace that I can easily talk under my shirt at work. Ensuring that even though it's not on my hand it is on my person at all times. Keeping the ring on our person at all times means a lot to us because our entire 6 years of dating we spent states away from each other and so having something of the other person with us at all times helped connect us more. And we feel the same way for the Rings. That person never should have made you feel bad for not wearing your engagement ring at all times. And you shouldn't feel bad if you're not going to wear your wedding ring at all times it doesn't have to be on you constantly to prove that you're devoted to the other person. It's how you act and behave that shows your devotion to your significant other not a ring and she shouldn't have made you feel like you were doing something wrong.

Hey there!!! I had the same concerns when I was first proposed to here is MY opinion. I am a dental assistant so taking my gloves off and on and constantly washing my hands is what my job requirement. I do wear my ring all the time except to the beach which my FH is happy with. I just think about all the time and money he put into buying me my ring, and that alone makes me proud to wear it and show it off. SO many of my friends also have been buying those plastic rings but I would feel bad to wear that vs the expensive ring. I think you should ask your man how he feels if you dont wear it. Would it bother him or offend him or does he not mind :] idk if this helps or if I just rambled haha.

The only time I don't wear my engagement ring is in the shower, doing dishes, putting lotion on, playing golf, and sleeping! I feel naked without it on but I definitely don't want to lose it/damage it during those activities.

I’m similar to some other ladies here. I take it off at for the gym, showering, washing dishes, at the beach. Places where I think I might lose or damage it. However, sometimes when I take it off for the gym when I get back home I don’t put it on right away.

Everyone is different , but I wouldn’t let someone make you feel bad for not wearing your ring in the home setting. That’s your private space.

I take it off every morning when I get in the shower, every time I do dishes, and anytime I am doing hard or dirty work with my hands (painting, moving furniture, yard work).

I take it off when showering, cleaning, cooking or doing anything that may damage it (I ride horses so it ALWAYS comes off when I'm in the saddle).

I work in a cafe as a line cook so I sadly can’t wear mine to work. But they do let me wear my claggdah ring luckily so I usually wear that instead

I take mine off quite often. My ring sits up pretty high and if I wore it all the time, I would definitely damage it. And I don't wear it to bed at my FH's request lol he is afraid I will scratch him with it.

I take my ring off when I am in the shower, swimming or working in the yard. I'm fearful of losing it or it getting damaged so I'm very mindful. Although, I believe it is your own decision how and when wear your ring.

It's up to you if you wanna take it off while doing certain tasks (which is a good idea to). Also it takes a bit to get used to wearing a ring if you hadn't before, I know a lot of people that take it on and off. Some of them put it on a necklace when they aren't wearing it on there finger so that they can tell people that they are still wearing it lol

I take mine off to shower or do dishes, but for the most part I keep it on. I’ve always had a ring on my fingers though so it’s not really a major difference for me.
