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...

Re: Can I wear my e-ring in the pool?
I certainly wouldn't! I take mine off to work in the yard, shower, beach, sleep..whatever the situation. I would prefer it stay nice than wear it the entire time.
ETA: Plus my diamond is my Mom's so it means a lot to mean and is irreplaceable.
A couple of weeks ago I posted asking about Good Old Gold and everyone on here raved about him knowing so much...one of the things he mentions on his site is this...:
How do I take care of my diamond engagement ring? It is recommended that your ring be taken off before bed and put back on after you have showered, sprayed hair spray, and perfume, and after you put lotion on and it dried. (These items stick to the diamond and cause it to be dull and cloudy looking).
If your diamond ring looks dirty you can clean it with a soft bristled tooth brush with warm water and soap. Make sure to scrub under the diamond and rinse thoroughly. Don't let it fall down the drain :)
Please be conscious of every day activities such as gardening, laundry, cleaning, working out and any other activities that may cause you to knock your ring around and possibly loosen the prongs.

i would leave it home somwhere safe...what if it falls off in the pool???
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!
the water would loosen it, it is not loose on a regular basis

Re: Can I wear my e-ring in the pool?
Okay girls, I think I'm leaving my e-ring safe at home tomorrow. I would so much rather miss wearing it than regret wearing it because something happened to it. I always take it off when I do lab work and wear it on a chain around my neck. I don't sleep or shower with it. Although, I can do dishes in it since I wear rubber gloves. So, its not like this will be the absolutely first time that I have taken it off. Thanks for your opinions!

Sure you can wear your e-ring in the pool but the chlorine will make your ring (the gold or the platinum) black slowly...

I prefer taking it off when i step in water. Basically i can't take a risk with my E-ring!
