Do you wear your ring...

**naebie** · 10-04-2011 20:03

I wear my ring 24/7- the few times I took it off initially I forgot to put it back on, so it is far easier to just leave it on. Though when pregnant I had to switch it to my pinky on the opposite hand due to swelling!
Congrats on the ring

YAY rach congrats!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I left it on all the time, until I got too fat

I take my eternity band & engagement ring off when I'm cooking, doing dishes, showering, exercising & overnight. I'm so paranoid about it getting knocked!

But my wedding ring has never come off & it most definitely never will! My gorgeous hubby put it there as a symbol of our love & commitment nearly 6 months ago on our wedding day & its there to stay forever

First of all ...

CONGRATULATIONS!!!

I very rarely take my ring off. Only when using some thing really abrasive.

Diamond is an extremely hard crystal. If it is in a quality setting and u get your ring serviced regularly then you have nothing to worry about.

Congratulations!! Can we see a pic?

Mine only come off for 1 thing... Making schnitzels

I wear them in the shower, swimming at the beach and pool or anything else Im doing!
I always wear gloves when doing any cleaning though so they dont come into contact with cleaning chemicals.

I only take mine off if I'm makeing something like meatballs that will get them all gunky!

Congratulations on the ring

Congratulations darl!!

Well, DF proposed when we were out camping in the middle of no where and I woke up in the middle of the night to find it NOT on my finger!! I'd taken it off in my sleep and didnt know if Id slept walked and put it somewhere or lost it in the bush...It ended up being in my sleeping bag!

Apart from that time, I only ever take it off when putting on hand moisturiser....and I don't do dishes lol

Although, towards the end of my pregnancy my fingers were a bit chubby and it didnt fit so i wore it around my neck on a chain.

I hate not wearing it because I always think, if right in this very second, I was to die (for whatever reason depending on where I am and what im doing), Id hate to die without wearing my rings.

I take mine off alot! Usually as soon as I get home it goes on the bedsidetable, I just find it easier to do things and not have to worry about damaging it or scratching my DDs face with it.
Congrats SB! How did he propose?

**Boobycino** · 10-04-2011 21:43

There was no proposal. Lol. Or there was and it was 4 years ago.

The sales chick was like 'wow that was easily' I laughed aloud and said 'oh no it wasn't '

I've been waiting for this ring a looooooonnnnngggggggggg time.

And dp is happy with his ring too

(seeing as we aren't planning to get married in any kind of hurry he needed some bling

)

Congrats!!

I take mine off when I go to bed (hate sleeping in any jewellery except for earrings), and only put them on again when I've had a shower, along with watch, bracelet and necklace.... even then, if I'm at home for the day, they doesn't usually get put on, but I will make sure they go on when I leave the house.

I also remove it for all exercise/sport as I find my fingers swell when I get hot and sweaty so they become uncomfortable.

BUT once they are one for the day (ie on days I am working I jump in the shower as soon as I get up, then they go straight on)... they stay on for everything else, cooking, cleaning, washing dishes etc etc.
