Fake engagement/wedding rings to bring on honeymoon

So DH and I just purchased cheap rings to bring on our honeymoon and intend to leave our real rings at home. We are going to Maldives and will mostly be snorkeling, diving and just hanging out on the beach. So it made sense not to wear our real rings in case they get lost or ruined... Any other...

Any other couples doing this on your honeymoon?

    I think fake/cheap rings are a must when traveling to the Caribbean. It drives me crazy when I see women wear tons and tons of expensive jewelry in super poor countries. Don't draw unnecessary attention to yourself as its not worth the risk. Good idea!

    My DH and I did this!!!!!!! I don't wear my E-ring in water anyway, so when we went to Hawaii and snorkeled and swam, it was just great to not have to worry about leaving it behind or it slipping off and sinking to the bottom of a lava tube. A $20 investment was WELL worth the peace of mind. Plus, it was a funny story when people complimented it, lol.

    I've definitely suggested that to my FH before. It's a great idea!

    I think this is unnecessary.... I've traveled to multiple Caribbean islands with my ring and have never felt worried?

    If your concern is ruining it...unless you're doing some serious activity the ring should be okay.

    If you do an activity that worries you just leave it in the safe during that period of time. Example- we're going to a volcano that has cool mud baths. I don't plan to wear my ring in the mud so it will be in a safe

    Silicon bands. They don't cost much. Plus they are gaining in popularity so easy to get.

    I swear by my QALO ring!! I wore it on a family vacation to the beach and kept my engagement ring at home just so i wouldn't mess it up. Stayed on perfectly when swimming, snorkeling, scuba diving, everything. Plus I wear i pretty much every day when im working out so I don't scratch my band or pinch a nerve in my finger while lifting. We will be leaving our real rings at home with my MOH while we are on the honeymoon and wearing these instead!

    Yes, QALO! I bought a QALO ring to wear on the honeymoon, as well as while working out and doing physical/outdoor activities. I plan to leave my real rings at home so I do not risk losing them while on the trip.
