My wife made our wedding rings (she's an amateur silversmith). I keep mine on a bandolier on my backpack so I always have it with me, but I rarely wear it. My wife lost hers, somewhere in our home.

I can't stand metal ones but I wear my silicone one close to 24/7 just taking it off it give it a thouruogh clean in the shower.

Yes I have one, no I don't wear it all the time, nor does my wife wear hers all the time. I go for stretches sometimes where I wear it a lot, but it is slightly oversized, which makes it slightly uncomfortable after a while, and I'm scared it will slip off (i lost my first band, this is my replacement). It's almost always in my pocket though. My wife mostly only wears hers for special occasions. Neither of us are jewelery people in general.

I take it off at night (Have a thing on my dresser) and when kneading bread. (Have a consistent place near my breadmaking station)

[–] CMDR_Horn@lemmy.world 2 points 3 weeks ago

Yes, basically yes.

Sometimes I'll take it off if I'm doing something that could damage it or if there is risk of it catching on machinery leading to amputation

I asked to not have one. As others have said, I was a 'no jewelry' kinda guy, plus throughout various jobs in my working life, for safety reasons many wouldn't allow rings.
About 7 years ago I asked for one (after 35 yrs of marriage) and have worn it pretty much 24/7 since.
Plus, I can open a beer with it!

I did, a plain gold band. It fell off in the surf at a beach, gone forever.

Replaced it with a silver band, but my fingers are slightly fatter now and it doesn't fit.

Never worried about it. It's just a "thing".

[–] twinnie@feddit.uk 2 points 3 weeks ago

Yep but I can take it off when I need to. It hurts sometimes when I have to lift something with round handles that squash my fingers together.

[–] TheOneCurly@feddit.online 1 points 3 weeks ago

We each got 2 actually. Nice ones for normal occasions and silicone ones for adventures. I don't wear mine to bed, the skin underneath gets all wrinkly and irritated. I put it on as part of getting dressed. So lazy weekends I hardly wear it at all but most days I do.

[–] ChexMax@lemmy.world 1 points 3 weeks ago

Yes! I have my real ring that I took off when I got pregnant and my fingers got fat, once the baby was 6mo I put it back on. My husband had to take his off for work a lot since the metal is a conductor, so i got him a silicone one. I liked his so much i got myself one and wear that full time. It's better for playing with the child.

[–] buttmasterflex@piefed.social 1 points 3 weeks ago

Yes and yes. We got custom made, one of a kind rings made by a local family-run jeweler. The rings have a wood grain pattern in them, with my wife's ring shaped like a branch holding a green sapphire. Pretty freaking cool. I only ever take it off if I'm on a job site that bans jewelry for safety reasons.

Single af myself, but my parents are still married and always have their wedding rings on. I'm not even sure I've ever seen them without them. Not even sure if they could even remove them anymore.

[–] Deyis@beehaw.org 1 points 3 weeks ago

We have rings but we don't wear them all the time; I can't stand wearing it whilst in the shower or going to the gym.

[–] WhiteOakBayou@lemmy.world 1 points 3 weeks ago

Yes and yes. Never take it off unless I'm doing something real gross. Flat band and the edges are kind of rounded so it doesn't catch much. It's sized so it doesn't fall off in gloves or when I wash my hands. I did have to start wearing work gloves after catching it on something and I thought it broke my finger but we really all should be wearing work gloves more often.

[–] Fierro@piefed.social 1 points 3 weeks ago

I have it, I wear it all the time, I don't like it, but I also don't dislike it enough to care

[–] zout@fedia.io 1 points 3 weeks ago

Yes, and I always wear it. I have had jobs in the past where I would take it off during the day because it wasn't advisable and not allowed to wear it. Last time I took it off was a few years ago when I had to go into surgery.

[–] SuiXi3D@fedia.io 1 points 3 weeks ago

We both do, yeah.

[–] Cardinalis@sh.itjust.works 1 points 3 weeks ago

Yes and yes.

It was important to me when we got the bands that they not be particularly ornate. So they’re plain bands and don’t interfere with the vast majority of activities.

[–] Yeller_king@reddthat.com 1 points 3 weeks ago

Yes. I take it off when exercising or doing yard work. I had a silicone one to swap to, but I lost it.

I'm also on my third ring in six years because I'm a silly goose.

[–] TheMinions@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 3 weeks ago

Yes, and I pretty much always wear it.

Unless I’m washing the dishes and giving a massage to my spouse are the only exceptions I can think off the top of my head.

[–] saimen@feddit.org 1 points 3 weeks ago

Yes and yes. Sometimes I take it off for swimming in a public pool because of being afraid of losing it.

[–] Vex_Detrause@lemmy.ca 1 points 3 weeks ago

I do have a wedding ring with some inscription inside. Now my sausage hands grew so my wife bought me a cheap Amazon ring to fit. It's for her peace of mind.
