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

Original post by melbalalala

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 wear mine almost all of the time, its weird because i can't feel it when i am wearing it but can definitely tell when i am not wearing.

I do sleep with mine on most nights and shower with it on as well. If i am going to the gym from home i dont wear it but if i go from work i do wear it. If i am doing heavy house work then i dont wear it and for most cooking i do wear it. I basically wear it as much as possible, I love it

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.

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!



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!



glad i could help...

i'm so dumb b/c before my jeweler told me about all that i would put soap/shampoo etc on b/c i'm thinking, hey if it makes my body clean it makes the ring clean!! (lol) -- here i thought i was doing a good thing!! so when he told me that i was like WHAT?!! so he's like calm down, it's not a big deal just avoid it if you can-- i'm like please check the ring!! is everything ok? i'm SO dramatic!! he gave it a good look over and told me i was crazy

I'm this way too, I'll take it off to put lotion on it, but then put it right back on. It's almost always on my hand.

I take mine off when I clean sometimes especially if I'm using bleach (which I was told can damage prongs and make it easier for the stone to fall out) and to put lotion on and washing my hair, that's about it. I use to take it off to shower but sometimes I'd forget it in the bathroom and fh would bug me and then move it and then I couldn't find it, so I just keep it on most of the time now.

I hate taking it off. I only take mine off when i do house work and ofcourse if im making food that requires puttingmy hands in it ( like making bread or hamburger) I hate geting food in it.



Same here...hence why FH tells me all the time to go get it cleaned!! But it's hardly off my finger or out of my site!

Call me crazy.... But I have to admitt that I don't wear my ring alot. It ticks FH off but, I've never been a jewlery person, and I take it off when I go to sleep or clean, and forget to put it back on.

I take mine off as soon as I get home from work every night and whenever i take a shower, move heavy things around, wash my hands etc. I feel guilty taking it off but i hate getting it dirty

I don't take it off for any reason other than applying hand cream. I wear it to sleep, the gym, while cleaning, ect.. ALL THINGS I SHOULDN'T DO WITH IT ON. I am just really bad with loosing jewlery and am afraid of taking it off.

I take it off when I shower, wash dishes and sleep. I also don't wear it when I work out or bike ride.

The only time I take mine off is to sleep. I tend to swell a lot at night.

Does this include washing your hands? Like after you get back from the rest room? I would hate to have to think I have to take it off every time I wash my hands!

i take it off all the time. to shower, do my hair, and especially when i sleep. my mom yells at me that i should never take it off but it gets irriatating sometimes and if i wear it at night i always wind up scratching myself with it. between the ring and the dog i wake up looking like i got in a fight!

I take it off as soon as I get home too. Only b/c I usually change right away to go to the gym (and I never wear it there).

I take it off when i shower, do dishes but ot herwise it is always on-probably would be smart to take it off for other things but i feel naked with out it

I once 'lost' it. I put it on my laptop under the keyboard and then proceeded to close the monitor with out realizing. I turned my entire room upside down and couldn't find it, but I had to leave the house for my BFF wedding shower. My dad kept looking and found it, I felt so dumb. Now it doesn't come off for anything but cooking, and then I put it onto the chain on my neck.

I take my ring off for many things - showering, sleeping, going to the gym, putting lotion on, and sometimes I just take it off and put it in its 'safe place' when Im in the house.
