Do you remove engagement ring when doing messy work?

been married 50 years don't wear an engagement or wedding ring. I stopped wearing costume jewellery rings/bracelet/watch during covid as where I worked I had to wash my hands 20+ times a day and keep taking them off and putting them on was a nightmare, just started wearing them again this year

night!! Actually I quite often forget to replace them when I take them off occasionally for household chores. And sometimes forget to put them on in the morning.

Usually take rings off at knight. This goes back to when I was stung on my finger joint whilst on holiday abroad and the inflamed joint swelled and turned purple. In the morning it was worse and had turned black so I was glad I had removed the wedding ring. My present ring was my mothers and is a little too large so I have bought a little silver ring from Brighton Lanes to help to keep it in position.

Sadly I had to have my wedding ring and engagement ring cut off due to arthritis in my hands, but before that I never took them off for anything.

I’d never taken either of them off until a recent CT scan required me to remove all jewellery. I wasn’t sure they would come off, but managed it with a struggle.

Only take my engagement ring off at bedtime. The style of my eternity ring doesn't sit well with wedding and engagement ring (too large, DH bought it on his own and I didn't have the heart to have it changed) so is worn on my right hand. This too only comes off at bedtime.

Only when making pastry.

I never take either my engagement ring or wedding ring off. I did take my engagement ring off once a few years ago to have a new shank fitted. Now I couldn't get either of them off over the knuckle, even if I wanted to.

I always take off my rings when making pastry except the wedding one when I was married.

When I go wild swimming, I always take my wedding ring off and then dramatically say “Goodbye darling, I am married to the sea.”

Yes

Never had an engagement ring. Too poor. My husband bought my 24 caret gold wedding ring in Damascus whilst serving in the Grenadier Guards in Palestine in 1946. It has remained on my finger since that year. Very much worn down no sign of the flower decoration. Now my finger has swollen cannot get it off anyway.

lixy

My wedding ring stays on my hand all the time.

My engagement ring is in its' box and has been for years. I was worried that I would lose it if I had to take it off frequently so that was the safest way.

Sometimes rings are of different gold quality. If they are worn together the harder one will wear away the softer as they rub against each other.

Think about wearing wear it lixy,I left mine off and we were burgled and it was stolen. I wear my eternity ring all the time and if I've been cooking give it a spruce up with the automatic toothbrush. My Ruby one is getting made bigger and then I will wear it all the time.

I never take my engagement ring off or wedding ring. …only to clean them! They’ve been on my finger for 52 years now!!

On the subject of rings, after 30 years the diamond fell out of my engagement. Fortunately I was at home and heard it fall out onto a tiled floor so it was reset. I will have it checked at the jewellers soon as now coming up to 40 years. It is well worth checking.

I always wear my wedding ring but engagement, eternity and dress rings I put on as I leave the house. Five in all !

I only wear my engagement ring if were going out.

Think it all depnds on what sort of stone or setting your rings are. I never take my wedding or engagement ring off, except to clean them of course, but they fit into each other and the stone is a diamond so the hardest material in the world. However some stones are softer and some are porous, if in doubt ask a jeweller.

Take both my engagement and eternity rings off around the house. Would never clean in them. Can't wear them for work either

Due to afall at 16, many moons ago, my left hand swells unpredictably so I do not wear any of my rings.

Never wear any rings in the house, never have so it's a habit now. My wedding, engagement and eternity bands only go on when I leave the house. Surprised to hear so many g'netters wear their's most of the time.

I never removed my rings and deliberately chose a Victorian style which is flat so doesn't catch on things, as when we got engaged I worked in a lab and often had to wear surgical gloves at work.
Since my divorce I wear the engagement ring on my right hand. My fingers are fatter on that hand so it is too tight to remove now!

Never wore my engagement ring unless going out. It’s an emerald with diamonds and I was told never to get it wet as emeralds are porous and could become brittle if immersed in soapy water too often. My other nightmare is leaving it on the basin in a public loo so these days I wear a fake diamond ring and my proper ring is locked away.

I never take my engagement ring off. It’s perfectly clean as it gets washed several times a day when I wash my hands. It’s been on my finger for 60 years! I’ve seen young women taking off their rings in public washrooms! Why run the risk of losing them?

Only wear my rings to go out as always suffered from dermatitis on ring finger if I wear rings for too long.Tried lots of thing s to try and prevent condition but only not wearing rings works saddly.
