Do you ever take your engagement ring off? What are your "ring rules"? ๐Ÿ’

Has your new bling been a permanent fixture on your ring finger since the proposal? Or do you regularly remove your ring for your job or for certain activities? Do you abide by the "Six S Rules" and take your ring off when you sleep, shower, swim, sweat (workout), scrub (clean), or sautรฉ (cook)!...

    I've never heard of the 6 S's until just now. I never take my ring off except to shower. I wear it for EVERYTHING else. I don't feel right without it. It makes me more nervous not having it on all day long. I love staring at it through out the day anyway. Smiley smile

    As a massage therapist, I don't bring my ring to work. I as well do not like just putting it in my purse. If i go anywhere else I make sure to put it on.

    I donโ€™t wear mine that often, actually. I am a vet tech so I donโ€™t want to wear it to work due to risk of injury or damage to it, and then when Iโ€™m at home a lot of the time I also donโ€™t wear it because I forget to put it on! I do have silicone rings that I wear, though.

    I definitely follow the 6 S's. I have a dainty ring with an opal stone. Opal seems to be pretty easily damaged so I only ever wear my ring when I get dressed up to go somewhere. My job requires some hands-on work with clothing and lifting, so I rarely ever wear my ring to work as well. I wish I could wear it everyday!

    I take mine off when I sleep (sometimes), workout, and do dishes/ scrub the bathroom or floors! Otherwise, I am always wearing it Smiley smile

    The only S I truly abide by is swimming. Other than that I havenโ€™t taken it off.

    I am diligent about putting my ring on first thing in the morning when I get dressed or even when I stay in my PJs (I keep it in a box right next to the bed) I make a point to wear it every day even if I don't plan on going anywhere which is kinda silly when I walk into the gas station in sweatpants, my fiancรฉ's hoodie and my big flashy engagement ring lol


    I will sometimes sleep with it on but I definitely abide by the 6S rules for the most part for a couple reasons,

    1. It's kinda tall like bulky and tends to snag on things.

    2. I don't want it to get gunked up or damaged by soaps, dirt, cleaners, etc...

    I also very quickly put it back on after I've taken it off to do a specific task as to not miss place it!

    If I were to go, lets say to the beach or camping for instance, I would most likely leave my ring at home in the safe.

    I never take mine off but my ring is also covered under insurance, so if thereโ€™s damage I can get it fixed.

    Always for showering, sometimes cooking (how dirty will my hands get?) And definitely yes for beach excursions (would hate to lose in the ocean).
    Itโ€™s also just a little big, so if itโ€™s going to be immersed in water or really cold, Iโ€™m afraid to wear as it may slip off.

    I never take my ring off. I used to when I took kick boxing classes! But if I do ever take it off, it goes back in the box in my jewelry box and I wear one of my silicone ones.

    Iโ€™ve had my ring for 3 and half months now, but one of my stones recently became loose and when I asked the jeweler why she said it was because I was wearing it 24/7 instead of abiding by the care instructions. Lol! So now Iโ€™ve started taking it off at night and to shower. I plan to order more ring holders to make sure I put it in a safe spot when Iโ€™m taking it off to shower, sleep and cook.

    I take it off when I shower or when I clean. Otherwise itโ€™s typically on! Everyone seems to be so different, I have never seen my mom take her ring off, but Iโ€™m so cautious and always worried about something happening to it!!

    I take it off when I sleep, shower, cook, or clean. It's slightly big, so anytime I'm worried it might fly off, I just remove it. But I wear it whenever I can!

    Iโ€™ve been engaged for 2 years and have only taken my ring off when Iโ€™m gardening, cleaning, or going camping. I have a wooden ring box I put it in when Iโ€™m not wearing it so that I donโ€™t lose it! I clean it at home, I have a little bowl I fill with hot water and dawn dish soap and I let it sit in there for like an hour and it makes it sparkle like new! Iโ€™m a nurse and people have asked me why I wear my ring to work (which I think is a weird question for someone to ask anyways) and I said if I didnโ€™t wear it to work I wouldnโ€™t be wearing it a majority of the time ha! Something my fiancรฉ spent so much on shouldnโ€™t be sitting at home in a box, I love my ring and wear it 90-95% of the time ๐Ÿ˜Š
