Can I wear my e-ring in the pool?

My friend is having a poolside gathering tomorrow, and it is supposed to be 93 (I live in MD). Is it safe for me to wear my e-ring in the pool, or should I just leave it home safe in my jewelry armoire? I am all for safety when it comes to my precious, but I just feel so naked without it...

Honestly, my ring hasn't left my finger in almost two years. I have been in the pool, at the beach, golfing, you name it.

me too - I've painted with it on, spacked walls with it, made meatballs with it ...

Re: Can I wear my e-ring in the pool?

I wear mine basically everywhere...the only time I did not wear it was when I went to a water park...i was afraid it would fall off in the wave pool or something and i'd never find it. Other than that I wear it everywhere.

Re: Can I wear my e-ring in the pool?

Wow, you guys are brave! I take mine off at night, shower, dishes...

Re: Can I wear my e-ring in the pool?

My ring never leaves my finger. Neither will my wedding ring!

Me too. I only wear my plain wedding band all the time (dishes, shower, etc.)

Especially in the pool or at the beach - water makes your finger smaller and then your ring feels big and feels like it will fall off.

i would leave it home somwhere safe...what if it falls off in the pool???

Re: Can I wear my e-ring in the pool?

My ring does not leave my finger...I went snorkeling with it, gardening, cook, workout...I love wearing it in the pool, the chlorine seems to clean it rather nicely!!

Re: Can I wear my e-ring in the pool?

See, I'm in the minority here but I don't wear the ring or wedding band in the pool. I'm afraid of the effect chlorine has on platinum. For the HM I wore a simple white gold band; the jeweler gave it to me for stuff like that! Ask Somethingblu; she would know! :)

If your ring is loose that is may possibly fall off your finger, you need to get it resized. Even in the winter when my finger shrinks and the ring feels loose, it's only a little loose ... not falling off loose. There is something wrong if it's falling off of you, I would never wear it out then!

Same here - I have scratched DH with it while sleeping and I am just more comfortable taking it off to do dirty work, washing and cooking. It is actually uncomfortable for me at the gym, so I take it off then too.

Re: Can I wear my e-ring in the pool?

Mine has been in several oceans!

Re: Can I wear my e-ring in the pool?

I wear mine always - I tend to lose earrings, necklaces etc that I take off so it is safer if I just leave it on!

Re: Can I wear my e-ring in the pool?

I would not wear it in the pool. Even if it fits well, the water will loosen it. I take mine off in the pool, shower, beach, washing dishes, even when I'm cleaning.

Re: Can I wear my e-ring in the pool?

Wouldn't wear it in the pool. Your hands def shrink and there is a chance that it will come off. A few people on our honeymoon wore their rings in the pool and one guy lost it while playing pool volleyball. Another girl lost her stone.

Here is some info of a website:

smudged, soiled and dusty. Lotions, powders, soaps and natural skin oils put a film on diamonds and cut down their brilliance. Clean diamonds glow, because the maximum amount of light can enter the stone and return in a fiery brilliance. it takes just a little care to keep them that way:


Do not wear diamond jewelry, especially rings, when doing rough work. Even though diamond is one of the hardest materials in nature, it can still be chipped by a sharp, sudden blow.


Chlorine can damage and discolor the mounting on your diamond jewelry. Keep your diamond away from chlorine bleach or other household chemicals. You should also remove your diamond jewelry before entering a chlorinated pool or hot tub.
Clean your diamonds regularly using a commercial jewelry cleaner, a mix of ammonia and water, or a mild detergent. Dip the jewelry into the solution and use a soft brush to dislodge dust or dirt from under the setting.
Always thoroughly rinse and dry your jewelry after cleaning and before storage.
Avoid touching your clean diamonds with your fingers. Handle clean jewelry by its edge.

I wouldn't wear my e-ring in a pool. Chlorine is a bleach substance that I wouldn't trust.
