My current, and brand new, band is only 0.85 pts, similar to BGD Alternating Bezel Eternity band.

[madelise]

I don't have a "daily set". I rotate amongst a few of my favorites. And I rotate a lot depending on where I'm going, what I'm doing, and just to refresh my look. Here are some pictures of me out and about- playing with my dog, hiking in the snow on vacation, hiking in the desert, visiting the garden.. etc.




To the gym? No, because I don't go to the gym.
To the grocery store? Yes.
While cleaning your house? Housekeeper does that.
While washing dishes? Bands only. I hate the feeling of wet.
While baking? What? People still bake?
To lunch with a friend? YES.
To a fancier event? FCK YES.
When alone at home? YES.
In the shower? No.
While sleeping? No.
When taking care of a baby? My baby's a dog, so yes.
While gardening? Gardener does that.
At work? Yes. I get snot and boogers on my rings so I do need to clean them often, but I still wear them. They make me happy.
During *intimate moments* ? Sometimes? A certain type of intimate moment involving a hand looks really pretty when adorned with a nice manicure and jewelry
When volunteering? Yes.
At family gatherings? Yes.
At weddings? Yes.
To the mall? Yes.
In the pool? I try not to.
While playing sports? No sports.
While crafting? Sometimes, it depends what craft.
Do you have an alternate set that you wear for some activities? I have alternate sets because of my mood and for different activities/environments.

 

[Winks_Elf]

To the gym? LOL! No time for the gym right now.
To the grocery store? Absolutely
While cleaning your house? No, I don't like getting cleaning solutions in my rings
While washing dishes? Sometimes, if it's something fast, but not if I'm handwashing a real load of dishes
While baking? No, as I don't want to get cookie dough and other foods in my settings. I have a special place in the kitchen to put my rings while baking and cooking, right next to the ultrasonic cleaner.
To lunch with a friend? Yes
To a fancier event? Yes
When alone at home? Yes
In the shower? No, that's when my rings come off and get cleaned while I get cleaned
While sleeping? Only my daily wear set...channel set band, and low set engagement ring in a halo. My husband gets cranky when I scratch him, lol.
When taking care of a baby? No, when the kids were little I'd only wear my band most of the time so as to avoid scratching baby
While gardening? Sometimes. If I'm just planting something fast or cutting the grass (riding tractor), I'll wear them, but I always garden in gloves.
At work? Absolutely!
During *intimate moments* ? Sometimes
When volunteering? Yes, my daily set
At family gatherings? Yup
At weddings? Most important time to show them off
To the mall? I avoid the maul like the plague!
In the pool? Absolutely not. While the chlorinated water won't affect my platinum band, my daily ring is 18kwg, and chlorine (bromine too) is a killer to prongs.
While playing sports? No, the e-ring comes off, but the band stays on
While crafting? Simple stuff with the kids yes, but not if my husband and I are working on our idea of crafting...first gen Camaro restoration! I take my rings off as soon as I go in the garage and put them in a safe location so that I don't scratch the rings or the cars.
Do you have an alternate set that you wear for some activities? I do! I have a daily wear set that is comprised of a Vatche Grace halo with a .67ct center, my 2.4mm channel set T&Co band (10th anniversary present), a beautiful platinum diamond accented solitaire with a 1.27ct center (I save that for going out and days where I know I'm not going to get it dirty), and hub just bought me a beautiful WIDE set for our 15th anniversary yesterday. I alternate depending on my mood and day's activities.

[lyra]

I never wear my rings. They sit in the safe all year. I might wear them once or twice. I'm basically just saving them to give to my daughter one day. I still love them and clean them, but I don't find many reasons to wear them. It'll be my 35th anniversary next year. Maybe it's an age thing.

For everyday, I wear a gold band and a silver etsy family type ring. I wear a bezel set 5 stone on my RH 24/7.

[AprilBaby]

After 37 years I rarely wear my rings at all. Not at work, pain in the gloves. I come home late and it's not worth putting them on. Weekends are chore time so I don't want to damage. Sometimes I wear them on Sunday.

[mochiko42]

I have one diamond ering, a French cut eternity, and various other gemstone rings and bands. My only constant at the moment is my Cartier trinity ring and diamond studs (earrings). I wear my ACA ering maybe once a week to the office. Everything else is worn occasionally in rotation.

[Phoenix]

I don't wear my rings as often these days, not sure why. I used to, all the time. I tend to wear my more elaborate rings & other bling for events and special occasions. I wear my studs 99% of the time; and almost always, at least a couple of bracelets (even when I work out - I just wear gloves or a boxing wrap to protect them).

With that said, here's my reply regarding my rings:

First, tell me about your daily set that you are most likely to wear. Pics are best

Then, answer yes, no, or N/A.

To the gym? Almost never, since I do a lot weights. If I happen to have my rings with me, I'll take them off and hang them on my locker safety pin.
To the grocery store? Yes, if I happen to have any ring(s) on that day
While cleaning your house? NEVER!!
While washing dishes? NEVER!!

While sleeping? Almost never
When taking care of a baby? N/A
While gardening? N/A
At work? I work from home, so yes sometimes and/ or when I go out for meetings
During *intimate moments* ? Depends, but I usually take them off before... ahem...!
When volunteering? No
At family gatherings? Mostly, yes
At weddings? DEFINITELY YES!!
To the mall? Yes, if I happen to be wearing any ring(s), but most definitely if I go to high-end boutiques like VCA or Cartier
In the pool? Never, but I rarely swim anyway
While playing sports? See the answer under Gym
While crafting? N/A
Do you have an alternate set that you wear for some activities? I have several sets, it just depends on the occasion and my mood!

Feel free to add to this list! I just find that I rarely wear my fancier, bigger, rings and I was wondering if anyone else was similar. Have fun! (And if I should post this in hangout instead, please let me know... but to me this seemed like talk about rocks so I put it in here!)

[metro]

I wear my rings to the office everyday and take them off as soon as get home and change out of my work clothes. I don't normally wear my full set on the weekend as I do a lot of running around with the kids.

[KaeKae]

Missy, I agree, it IS interesting!

I'm surprised how many people don't wear their rings when at home alone. That is when I am more likely to play with bling!

I am the same way, pearaffair. While at home, I may be wearing several rings on one hand or just one ring, so it can shine all by itself. (Same goes for bracelets, as well.) But, when it comes to rings I'm silly, I guess, in that I feel like I must have at least one band on my hand, with my e-ring, when I leave the house. But clearly those rules go out the window when I'm just hanging around the house.

 

[JMK]

Good lord - is there an easy way to make the images smaller?

Wedding band (wb) - 14k white gold


Wedding band and engagement ring (er) - vintage Art Deco, platinum


Wedding band and eternity band (eb) - channel-set Carre cut, platinum


All three (er and eb don't really go together, but I still wear them together sometimes)


To the gym? wb when exercising at home
To the grocery store? wb and eb
While cleaning your house? wb and sometimes eb, always with gloves
While washing dishes? wb and sometimes eb, almost always with gloves
While baking? wb
To lunch with a friend? wb and eb, sometimes with er
To a fancier event? wb, eb, and er
When alone at home? wb and usually eb
In the shower? wb and usually eb
While sleeping? wb and usually eb
When taking care of a baby? wb and usually eb (babies are Poodles)
While gardening? wb for weeding
At work? wb and eb, sometimes er if I'm going to the office (I usually work from home)
During *intimate moments* ? wb and whatever else is on at the moment
When volunteering? wb
At family gatherings? wb and eb, sometimes with er
At weddings? wb, eb, and sometimes er
To the mall? wb and eb
In the pool? don't go in pools, wb in our bromine hot tub with my hand out of the water
While playing sports? wb whilst working with my horses (closest I get to "sports")
While crafting? wb and eb unless I'm working with paints/stains/adhesives, then just wb
Do you have an alternate set that you wear for some activities? No

In summary:
Wedding band - always
Eternity band - usually
Engagement ring - rarely

I used to wear my engagement ring nearly all the time, but after after losing a side stone I had all the prongs rebuilt, and I noticed they were already wearing down again within 6 months. We got the channel-set eternity band for some sturdy sparkle - it's a little taller than I would like, but it delivers on sturdy sparkle.

 

[rockysalamander]

To the gym? No, nor to yoga, Pilates or any other such activity. Aside from the degloving risk, my hands swell and make rings uncomfortable.
To the grocery store? Sometimes.I don't make a point to put it on or take it off.
While cleaning your house? Ering, no. Wband, yes.
While washing dishes? Ering, no. Wband, yes.
While baking? Ering, no. Wband, yes.
To lunch with a friend? yes
To a fancier event? yes
When alone at home? Ering, no. Wband, yes.
In the shower? No. I like my hair attached to my head.
While sleeping? Never
When taking care of a baby? Ering, no. Wband, yes.
While gardening? no
At work? yes
During *intimate moments* ? No
When volunteering? Ering, no. Wband, yes. I offer tutoring in under-served communities and help at a mobile vet clinic in the same communities. It would be...tacky.
At family gatherings? yes
At weddings? yes
To the mall? I don't make a point to put it on or take it off; I will remove my ering if I'm hitting antique shops or thrift store. Most just think my platinum band is silver.
In the pool? no
While playing sports? no
While crafting? Ering, no. Wband, yes.
Do you have an alternate set that you wear for some activities? No. I work outdoors for a chunk of the year. On my team (since I'm the big boss), all rings with stones must be removed, I also encourage removal of anything sentimental or expensive. I have several Otter-boxes that have locks and then we then lock those in the truck. Of course, they are supposed to leave them at home. Bands can stay on, but no whining if you lose anything. We are NOT walking miles out of our way back through briers and wetlands because someone was an idiot. I had to learn this one myself, the hard way (bye bye inherited OEC).
