Do you girls take your E-ring off for certain activities? <to avoid damaging it, not to flirt!! :)>

So this weekend while I was moving I bent a prong and loosened my whole setting. Thankfully everything was ok and I didn't lose the diamond and it was only like $40 to fix.

But it got me wondering, should I be taking it off more often when I do things like go to the gym, move things around the apartment, etc? Do you keep your ring on at ALL times?

Im not a jewlery person so Im clueless with jewlery care and stuff. Its a platinum ring if that helps.

I take my ring off to shower, sleep, wash dishes, work out, and if I was moving things around I would take it off. I was moving just a few things around my room the other day and I banged it against something. Luckily it is ok, but I think I would take it off next time I was to do something like this.

I pretty much wear it everywhere, but I take it off before I go to bed. If I'm moving stuff around or cleaning I usually take it off because I'm afraid I'll bend it or break it. It's probably a good idea to take it off to do any of that stuff. I feel guilty when I take mine off as well. I hope this helps!

I only take mine off to shower, wash dishes and when I sleep. I keep it on at the gym and for everything else! It just feels weird when I take it off even just to shower.

I am probably the odd one here, but I take mine off as soon as I get in my house. I also stop home before the gym and drop it off because I refuse to put it in the locker.
My setting is so high and gets caught on everything. If I slept with it, I would be afraid that my FH would wake up with a gash across his face

Could you imagine if people thought you were beating FH with your engagement ring? Nothing like a little COPS-like drama before the wedding!

I take it off as soon as I get home.. I don't shower with it or wash dishes with it.. I don't put lotion on with it on.. I do wear my ring to the gym and wherever else, but when I am home, it's off..

well, i NEVER leave home without it on-- i feel naked if i do that. i tried it once when i went to the gym and i hated it.

i wear it MOST of the time when i'm home: except when i'm sleeping b/c my jeweler said if it gets caught on a blanket it could bend the prong and also when i shower and then get ready b/c he said the chemicals from the shampoo, hairpsray, make-up, etc etc that i put on when i get ready isn't 'good' for the ring... he said the same thing about cleaning and cooking (with the food getting in it) so when i clean/cook i take it off b/c of the products and food. i have these great ring holders (a silver cat statue with a long tail) and i have one in the bathroom, one next to our bed, and one in the kitchen so i ALWAYS put it on there-- just to be safe i know it has to be in one of those three spots)...

so just that, but i'm glad you mentioned the moving thing b/c when it's my turn to do that i'll def keep in mind that i should take it off!! thanks!

I only take mine off to sleep, shower and workout. I hate wearing it when I get sweaty since I swell up. But that's it. I work in the food industry and FH refuses to have me leave the house w/out it!

Oh thats really interesting.. I heard hairspray was bad because it will never come off, but I didnt know that about shampoo and stuff, I will be more careful!

You girls are amazing!
