Can I Wear My Engagement Ring Every Day?

When it comes to considering whether wearing our engagement ring on a day to day basis is a good idea or a bad idea, there are so many things to consider. Of course we would all like to wear our ring everyday, but in order to do so, one must consider style and design of ring, durability(metal) and whether our physical daily lives permit us to wear a big rock

Firstly, of course it would be smart if we all did our bit in looking after our ring, because let’s face the facts- if we don’t, then they are prone to get damaged. So much for all that dough spent on the ring. For all the wise ladies out there, please abide these Jewelry laws and have a long-standing relationship with your rock.

5 Places To NOT Wear Your Wedding Ring

At the beach: Wearing your ring during cardio activities won’t do it any harm, but it’s the weight lifting that can take a toll. The pressure of the weight’s bars (or really, any amount of strong pressure) that’s applied to your band might bend it, which is especially bad for a pavé band because the smaller stones can fall right out of their setting. As for contact sports, definitely take off the ring, or risk a serious injury thanks to ring avulsion.

Hitting the gym: Wearing your ring during cardio activities won’t do it any harm, but it’s the weight lifting that can take a toll. The pressure of the weight’s bars (or really, any amount of strong pressure) that’s applied to your band might bend it, which is especially bad for a pavé band because the smaller stones can fall right out of their setting. As for contact sports, definitely take off the ring, or risk a serious injury thanks to ring avulsion.

Taking a shower: Similar to sunscreen, any other soaps, hair or beauty products can cause a cloudy build up on your stone, or worse, under your stone—which is much harder to clean. Shampoos and body washes are a no-go. The same applies for your favourite scented lotion that you apply post-shower or that hair serum.

Soaking in a pool or hot tub: Losing your ring here isn’t as big of an issue compared with the open sea (filters can be checked and the pool can be drained), but it’s the chemicals, like chlorine, that do the damage. After time, they can seriously discolour the metals.

Cleaning anything: Washing your car on the weekend? Cleaning the oven? Bleaching the shower? Take off that rock. That’s especially important if your ring has a coloured gemstone rather than a diamond, as the chemicals can erode the finish and polish on the gem.

When you do take the ring off, don’t just leave it anywhere. Keep it in a box or jewellery pouch separate from your other pieces (so it doesn’t scratch them).
