I take my mines off alot as well. When I am cleaning, sleeping, crafting, etc….

I take my engagement ring off when I sleep, swim, shower, cook messy food, but I leave my wedding ring on ALWAYS. That has taken quite a bit of adjustment b/c I really want to protect it but at the same time, I want to just have a ring I can always have on and not just wear as an accessory when I feel like it. If that makes any sense? And my wedding band does have diamonds on it too, which is a little icky, but I try to wash deep in those crevices often so I think it’s okay.

I don’t wear my engagement ring for hanging around at home. I put it on if I’m going out: to work, to shop, to visit friends. Not to run or go to the gym. It’s a vintage ring, and it’s possible it could be damaged. My wedding band, however, is a plain platinum band, and I haven’t taken it off since the honeymoon. (I wanted to look at the inscription.) I thought it might bother me, as I’m someone who normally takes off all my jewelery when I get home, but…it doesn’t. And I don’t have to worry about stones getting dirty or anything. I like having my ring on all the time, it’s part of me now. And, BTW, my husband only takes his off for weightlifting. I’m OK with that, I love his his big muscles!

I take it off a lot too. And this is after my mom made my fi have me wear a “practice ring” for 6 months before buying me a real ring. She had a traumatic experience with me in high school, when I begged for the MOST expensive high school ring (I know, why?). She finally gave in and I only wore it for one day before deciding it was really pokey and uncomfortable and never wore it again.

But that’s mostly because I come home on public transportation, so when I get home, I take off my watch and ring and wash my hands thoroughly. Sometimes I put the ring back on then, but generally not.

I’m not married yet but I take off my e-ring for showers, washing my hands and messy cooking/baking like making meatballs or kneading dough by hand. To the horror of nearly everyone who knows this about me, I plan to do the same with my wedding band. I can’t help it, I have a mild case of OCD and I absolutely cannot TOLERATE the feeling of wetness on my finger underneath the ring if I leave it on when I wash my hands. I have to take it off to dry my hands off completely. I am afraid of it slipping off and down the drain in the shower too. Insurance be damned - I don’t care if it can be replaced, I want the original forever.

I take my ring off when i cook, wash dishes, shower and go to sleep. I especially hate how my skin under my ring has that moisty feeling after washing my hands so I scoot my ring up and down my finger and wipe my finger dry.

For me, it’s pretty much put-it-on when I’m leaving the house, take-it-off when I get home (to cook, shower, sleep, etc.) But I wear it out everywhere - errands, lifting weights, etc. I haven’t been in the ocean since I’ve gotten engaged (which means I need a tan) so I’m not sure what I’ll do then.

My dad got me a ring for my 16th birthday, and I haven’t taken it off in 5 years. I’m afraid that I’ll mess up my e-ring when I get it cause I’m so used to having a ring on 24/7

I take my ering off when i shower, clean, sleep, cook etc… I have this horrible feeling i’ll bash it into something and break it. I always run my hands into things, ive got the bruises to show it!
My wedding band stays on unless I’m cooking something that involves handling a lot of raw meat. Like someone else mentioned, i too freak out about the idea of bits of chicken bacteria lodging themselves in between the stones and rotting away!

Anytime I touch fish or raw meat or clean with really harsh chemicals I take my rings off. I also take them off when I put moisturizer on in the morning. Otherwise they are always on. Like others, our insurance would cover the loss, but I would be heartsick if I ever lost either ring.
