How often do you wear your ring?

[lknvrb4]

I wear my ering all the time and only take it off when showering and getting ready in the morning. I don't want lotion or hair products on my diamond. I do clean it every morning while getting ready and slip it on when I am done.

I only wear my ER and bands when I leave the house. I don't like wearing any jewelry when I am home as I prefer being unencumbered. I change my clothes too when I get home. I sure don't do any chores with my rings on and I also remove them when I wash my hands. Not in a public restroom however but during the workday I do as I have a sink in my office and the bathrooms are private so no problem there. I clean my ring only about once every 2 weeks. I am a bad PSer that way I know. But because I remove it before I do any chores and don't wear it in the house it seems to stay clean longer and it stays bright and clean until the next cleaning. I clean my ER with dishwashing liquid a soft toothbrush and water. And sometimes I use the sparkle stick that was recommended by a PSer. It really gets the ring clean and it's so easy to use.

I wear wedding ring, full eternity & solitaire 24/7. I remove them for showering in the morning & drop them into cleaning solution, and ultrasonic once a week. I also remove them for hand lotion or very gunky baking, but other than that, never. They are a part of my story & a part of my body. My finger feels cold without them & my plain wedding ring slips up & down in the groove, which is intensely annoying!

Well, I must say PSers are a lot more careful with their jewels than the people I know in real life! Now I'm thinking to stop wearing my ring in the shower since it might have a build of shampoo/ conditioner residue!

I always wear my ring when I leave the house but don't wear it at home (unless we're entertaining) because I'm constantly applying hand cream or washing/cleaning/cooking something. For quick daily cleaning, I soak it in alcohol and wipe with a sparklesparkle cloth. On weekends I do a major cleaning with jewelry cleaner and a toothbrush.

I thought I was weird because I always remove my rings when I wash my hands, but the water here leaves a film on everything and my rings are loose when my hands are wet. If I'm in a public place, I put my ring in my mouth while I wash. I know I won't lose or forget it there.

This made me chuckle

I wear my rings all the time! I check my prongs and stone periodically and clean my rings 1-2x a week with warm water and a soft toothbrush. If I'm going out for any type of social occasion, I clean them in my ultrasonic. I don't have any pave or sidestones on my e-ring or bands, though. If I did, I would probably be a lot more careful and not wear them all the time so as to not risk losing any melee.

I'm ridiculously OCD about my diamonds! I don't sleep, shower, garden, clean house, or wash dishes or my hands with my diamonds on. (unless I'm in a public restroom, I won't dare take them off!) I clean them before I put them on with very hot distilled water and dish soap. I use a soft brush to clean the pavilion well. Occasionally I use my steamer and that really makes them sparkle. My diamonds give me such pleasure so I wear them around the house as long as I'm not being rough on my hands.

Yes. And I am the tippiest tip of that iceberg.

I wear my rings every day. Once dressed for the day, unless it's a day of cleaning or other hard-on-my-hands work, my rings go on. Sometimes it's just one of them, but there is always something on my hand, because I like seeing them and having them on.
My mom was the same. I wonder if that has any influence over an individual's ring wearing habits.

..What if you accidently swallow it then you'll have to wait till it comes out of the other end?...

I'm working on wearing my real set more. I work in a physically demanding job so I've been wearing a Cartier Trinity ring on my wedding finger for work (it's probably the most abused Trinity out there!) because I don't want want to damage my real one, but my set is quite nice and DH spent a lot (to us) on it so I'm trying to wear it more on days I know I won't beat it up.

I only wear them to work (if I'm not going to a manufacturing environment).

 

[momhappy]

I used to wear it daily, but after getting my halo setting, I don't any more. I clean it pretty much every time I put it on because dirty jewelry is a pet peeve of mine.

 

[NewEnglandLady]

I'd say I wore my set maybe one day per week or one day per two weeks. I'm usually ringless, but more often wear a simple band. Part of it is that I'm just more comfortable with nothing on my hands, but part of if is that with 2 small kids, my rings are just in the way. I feel like I'm always applying sunblock, bug spray, lotions, etc. and I don't want to take off my rings every time I need to use my hands. I'm having my e-ring reset right now and am going to try to wear it more often.

When my rings aren't being worn, they are in a cleaning solution. I wonder if that's bad for them...sitting in solution for days on end? I take them out and brush with baby tooth brush before wearing.

Like missy, I only (and always) wear my rings when I leave the house. I don't wear any jewelry when I'm at home, except for earrings that I wear 24/7. I clean my ER every week or so, just with warm/hot water, Dawn and a soft toothbrush.

 

[wildcat03]

I wear my ring whenever I leave the house except for one gym I go to that I do a lot of weights. Around the house it varies. I typically don't put it on until I'm planning to leave the house. I wear gloves to do dishes/scour pans so that I can leave it on. If it comes off, it goes in a dish next to the living room couch or a dish on my bedside table
