Etiquette

[pucca_love]

So.  I'm not a jewelry wearer.  I've never worn a ring for more than a day.  I have been taking my engagement ring off to sleep and peopel (NOT Glen) have been giving me a hard time.  So I'm just asking a little advice here...what is proper ring etiquette?? Should I never take it off for as long as I live?  Can I take it off to sleep??  I know by

Well, I proposed to Chris so he's the one with the engagement ring, however.

I am not really one to stand on ceremony. I have 3 wedding bands. The one official one that I hardly ever wear because I'm worried about scratching it, not to mention it's a little big on me. I have a sterling silver one that I wear most of the time because it's practical for work, it's not a big deal if I lose it, and it's nice a simple. Bun also got me a claddah wedding band for our 1st anniversary that I'll wear sometimes but am afraid of losing it (he got it from Ireland and it would be tough to replace).

Do what you feel comfortable with. If you want to sleep without risk of scratching yourself or Glen, then by all means, take it off. Maybe have a small dish or box or something to put it in when you take it off so you don't worry about it getting lost.

I take my rings off to sleep, shower, do dishes, swim, etc. I've started not even wearing them around the house much.

I say fuck everyone's advice and ask HIM when he thinks its appropriate to take it off.

Aa!

BAH! I take mine off all the time, mostly because of work but also because I cook a lot and it is easier to keep than clean that way. I also have eczema on my hands so sometimes I have to keep them off so that they can heel. I try and make sure I do wear them when I go out however.

I took my engagement ring off a lot when I first got it (I never used to wear rings to bed) - over time I've gotten used to it though - so it stays on more often...

But I still do take my rings off a lot - especially recently as my wedding ring started doing something weird to my finger - couldn't wear it for any real length of time....

I also hate wearing them at work and often stuff them into my pocket or purse when I'm heading to a birth....

It's not a big deal in my eyes - when I forget to put them on Ian likes to kid that he's out with a single woman!! :)
