Wearing a ring 24/7?

I wear mine all the time, but I also have a really comprehensive lifetime warranty on it. If it weren't for that, I'd probably be more aware of the tasks I was doing and have it off more. If you feel like you want it on more often (and you should only worry about how YOU feel, not FH family) I knew a girl who had a necklace with a clasp hanging on it and when she took her ring off to clean or whatever she would clip the ring to her necklace.

I take mine off all the time and regularly don't wear it for certain activities. Jewelers will tell you you shouldn't wear your rings to do household chores, to the gym, when applying makeup, while cooking or prepping food, to bed, swimming, etc. Caring for rings properly helps them stay in better condition for longer.

Prior to getting engaged I never wore rings and rarely wore jewelry outside of special occasions, so it took me a while to adjust to having a ring on at all. My stone is pretty small (1/2 carat, thank goodness my FH knows me well and knew that dainty and delicate was my style) but my ring still catches on things if I'm not careful.

I work as an athletic director, so shortly after getting engaged I bought myself a silicone ring to wear at times when I don't want to wear my e-ring. On days where I'm mostly in meetings or my office, I wear my e-ring to work and then will take it off and not wear a ring at all if I need to do an active program (I keep my ring box in my bag so I have a safe place to put it). On days where I am doing a lot of activity, I just wear my silicone ring. I do try to put it on before I leave the house for the day and then leave it on until after I get home and need to remove it to shower or cook dinner, and I wear it whenever we are going out for dinner or doing something special. Sometimes I do forget to put in on when rushing out the door for an errand, but I intentionally leave it home when going clothes shopping or walking the dog, because those are times when I'm more apt to lose it or have it catch on something. When looking at wedding bands, I did decide to go with a really simple band I can wear with or without my ring so that I can more often have a ring on even at times where I don't want to wear my e-ring.

I usually don't wear my ring when I am working since I am in the medical field and we take our gloves on and off! (Don't wanna accidentally toss my ring away in the trash along with bacteria and germs!) Some people forego wearing it all the time, some don't. It shouldn't matter so much since it's your ring and you can do whatever you want with it!

I'm known for losing things so I don't wear it much.

I do the same as you.. i take it off when i get home, take a shower, clean, go to sleep ect.. I wouldn't feel bad.. My mom wears hers 24/7 and she goes every few months to have new diamonds put in because they fall out, she even developed a rash on her finger because the ring is loosing color.. Mind you this is a $5000 ring from Zales.. Not something from Walmart, she shouldn't be having all those issues.

I pretty much only take it off sometimes when I'm cleaning/doing dishes or working with fabric that can catch on it (I like to sew). I'm paranoid about losing it and I know I would forget to put it on if I was taking it on and off too much and now I've worn it so much that it feels weird to take it off. But that's just me! Judging someone or someone's relationship based off of something as trivial as how and when they choose to wear a piece of jewelry says a lot more about the person judging than it does about the person wearing the ring. Women are judged enough, who cares if you take your engagement ring off sometimes. 😒

I take mine off when I shower. It depends on the person. My sister-in-law never takes her off and another friend of mine who got married 7ish years ago doesn't even wear her's anymore. She just wears her wedding band. I don't see an issue with it.

First of all, I don't understand the shaming of not wearing an engagement ring at all times. Wow, people are silly in their beliefs. I know people who wear it all the time. I wear mine most of the time except for certain cleaning jobs, lifting weights or traveling outside of the country. I have a friend who won't wear hers to work as she works non profit with underpriviledged children. My point is, it's the love and commitment you have to one another and although it is a symbol of that it by no means changes that love whether you are wearing it or not.

You do you boo!
