Wearing a ring 24/7?

View Quoted Comment I agree with asking your FH.

I was always taught that you should never take it off. However I take mine off at night before I go to bed. I need to have one of my clasp tightened up on one of my diamonds so I dont want it to snag on my blanket at night and due to covid it is such a delay in repairs. Since I do take it off a night. When Im getting ready for work accassionally I forget it. It makes me feel bad when I do. I asked my fiance' dose it bother him when I take off my ring. He says that it does but he understands why I take it off and assures me since its insured he will take it and have it tightened and cleaned. He says that once its repaired there is no excuse to have to take it off but for now its fine. Just talk to your spouse, fiance, or husband and see what his thoughts are because at the end or the day his opinion is the only oI hope ne that matters. Everyone one else just looks at it as either tradition or respect. This unity is between yourself and him not them, but if you are a people pleaser then just keep it on. I hope this helps

I wear my engagement ring 24/7. I don't totally like the idea of taking it off regularly because I know that for me it's more likely I will misplace it around the house. But I also have the insurance/warranty for the ring through Zales so every 6 months I go into a store and get it inspected and cleaned. They also do a thorough polishing and dipping for free if I want to send it off. I'm not worried about loosing loose stones or getting it dirty because I have the free cleanings/replacements.

I put it on every moth hg before I leave the house and take it off when I get back home. Just feels weird wearing any jewelry at home and also don’t want to wear it to bed and risk scratching myself or tearing something or even damaging the ring. My fiancé wears his constantly, never comes off but his is just a band so no risks. I also don’t wear it at work during certain tasks in the garage but it goes right back on when I’m done.

I dont wear mine all the time in the house because I have lost a stone in it. By accident hit my hand on something so now if I'm sleeping it's off washing dishes off washing my hands off and at work I deal with patients and gloves all day. I do wear here and there in the house and if I'm going out yes I do . But I understand why you do. Now I will go see soon how much it will be to replace the stones before he finds out. Lol

View Quoted Comment I do the same thing it's right in my pocket or purse because I also have my hands always are in water or hit something

I have trouble with this, mainly because I am not a jewelry person AT ALL. I like the idea of wearing it all the time, but my mom does that and she has had to have the stones replaced more than once because they have fallen out. I've been taking it off to shower, cook, clean, and lift weights but it does take some getting used to. I wouldn't feel bad about it if I were you.

I take mine off for a variety of household tasks:
-yard work/gardening
-laundry-dishes-any cleaning with chemicals-showering/bathing-pool/beach/hot tub -washing the dog-applying lotion or other hand creams

I have seen some people who say to take it off for sleeping but I would forget to put it back on in the morning so I don't. So long as you wear it outside the house and your SO is happy then I dont think you should let your inlaws get to you (just noticed this was a thread from 2019 so I am sure you have figured that out by now).

I wear mine all the time but take it off for dishes, exercise, showers, and sleeping. I know rings are expensive but I figure, at the end of the day, they’re just things and are meant to be used and worn. They’re more important to me to be symbolic of our relationship and I like seeing it all the time.

*not my picture * Sorry I don’t know if anybody has posted about this yet, but these necklaces are great for people who don’t want to wear their ring all the time. This way you’re still technically wearing it without worrying about losing it!

I personally do not wear it 24/7. I take it off when I get home just because I don’t want to clean and shower with it on.

I work in healthcare and it's not feasible to wear my engagement ring at all times. Plus, I worry about it tearing gloves or scratching a patient. Mine is his mother's ring, and I would be devastated if I lost it or broke it. Do what you are comfortable doing, and it sounds to me like his family member is just trying to start some stuff.

I wear mine all the time except in the shower. I feel like the chances of me losing it are much higher if it’s not on my finger. I also love my ring and want to wear it all the time. I think if it doesn’t bother your fiancé, who cares? Do what works for you!

My wear both my rings 24/7 and have to be VERY CAREFUL with the sanitizing it can damage the ring and prohibit the shine from returning. I’m an administrator for an orthodontic office and I’m constantly wiping high traffic areas and have to ensure I’m wearing gloves with these harsh chemicals.

This is not a big deal, it's your own personal decision. Please do whatever make you comfortable, no matter what anyone tells you.

I take mine off when I'm cooking dinner/doing dishes, working out, to go beaches/swimming, clearing, and sleeping (it has a lot of jagged edges and catches on sheets while I sleep at times and I'm afraid to lose it). My fiancé is fully comfortable with this (it was his idea).

It's clear that you care for your ring and you're just trying to preserve it. Engagement rings are NOT cheap and can be difficult to replace for many reasons.

Please do what's best for you!

I always wear my ring except when showering, dishes, using lotions or some meal prep.
I’m so afraid to lose it or misplace it. This will be my 2nd marriage. I want everything to be right.. no room for drama or issues. So I hold tight to my ring, my man and my wonderful new future!

I wear mine 24/7, I look at it a million times a day & now feel naked without it. It all depends on the persons preference though. Does your FH feel bad about you not wearing it at all times? If not, I wouldn’t worry about that family members opinion.

I only take it off in the shower or to clean it but other than that it never leaves my hand. There’s a lot of people who say I shouldn’t wear it constantly because I have a tiffany set diamond so it sits high, but I think diamond rings are more durable than we give them credit for. I’m sooo proud of mine and it looks amazing even with daily wear! Just like the day it was given to me 💍🥂

View Quoted Comment I don’t wear mine usually when I’m home. And I forgot to put it on one day before I went to work. He didn’t care. When I told him he was like oops it’s happens. It’s no big deal. Sometimes when I stop somewhere I don’t put it on. It doesn’t need to be worn 24/7.

Hi have have forgotten times to put it on. Then my finger dont feel right lol,but I don't wear it constantly like when I take a shower or when at work or doing the dishes clean up the house washing my hands. And I dont wear it all the time when I'm in the house now because I hit my hands on things at times and how my ring is I lost a stone its little but still I didn't want to lose nothing so I only wear when going out out. But other than that I love my gorgeous ring
