Who Wears Rings
I have a really nice diamond ring wedding band that i wear if we are going someplace special. I have lost 2 wedding rings from where i had cancer and they fell off somewhere.
I have a black onix ring that has dad written in it that i do not wear because i might lose it.
I have a ring that has JS on the top for James Stallings that i just never wear.
Then i have a 3 or 4 caret purple stone that was my grand dads that i never wear because he was not a good man.
There is 1 more but i cant remember what it is off the top of my head.
I do wear nice watches and a necklace but thats about all. I have 4 or 6 necklaces. I can buy jewelry for scrap prices from my daughter.
I buy all the silver and gold i can afford.

Worn my wedding ring every day for 32+ years.
It is a cheap 14 K with 3 of the 4 diamond chips left. The band wore through and cracked earlier this year and had a jeweler repair it. They wanted to ?restore? it. Not sure what that means on a $100.00 ring, but I made sure they left the years on it.0 -
quit wearing rings when a kid on a custom cutting crew showed me what was left of a finger when he bailed off a truck and caught his ring finger on something on the side of the bed...was NOT pretty ........maybe for dress up only 0 -
I have been retired for eighteen years, but I still work with my hands. You should see them - cuts, scrapes, bruises, etc.
I can't imagine what my jewelry would look like based on what my hands look like.
My wife has lost her wedding ring twice in the last 27 years. We found it once and we replaced it once. I know exactly where my wedding ring is - and it looks just like it did 27 years ago.0 -
at first after being married I would wear mine on the weekends when wife and I were out . but never while working then just never wore it
at the time I was working construction , my wife worked for a Pepsi distributor and knew too many route drivers who lost or ripped up there finger pulling down the doors on there trucks , jump up grab the door and leave there finger or a big chunk of skin hanging when the door would stick
I have enough scars on my hands ( last one table saw got me no fun and 7 stitches ) but still want to take all my fingers with me when I go

Just my wedding band, but I still wear a watch all the time. Not sure why as I have been retired for 10 years. I have worn a watch since I was 9 or 10 and would feel naked without it. Bob 0 -

Nope, none here. No jewelry watches etc.
When I was young"er" I worked with too many men that had lost "that" finger for one reason or another, because of the ring.
Told the wife that I didn't need to buy a wedding band, as I would not wear it anyway, was OK with her, she understood.
Wife has wore out 2 rings, I replaced. I told her the third one is the last one. She only wears it when we go out.0 -
i wear my wedding ring on the weekend when there is no chance of losing a finger. I cut an deal with to much scrape metal. Was thinking of a Tattoo one under my real band but with med changes not sure about it. An do not like the new rubber wedding bands Rubber is for some thing else. 0 -
I wear my wedding band always and an Onyx ring on my right hand . 0 -

I saw a guy get his finger striped to the bone. I wore my wedding band for one day then I hooked it to my watch and there it stayed. Now its on my key ring.
No rings for me, anywhere
My nephew got ear rings(he is male) when I saw him I started laughing. His mommy didn't think that was funny.0 -
I havn't been able to wear my wedding ring for 25 years due to arthritis. I do however wear a copper ring made from #9 wire I bent around a 5/8" bolt on my left hand 0 -
I've been married 18 months now. I hadn't planned to get rings at all. She kind of insisted so I got a plain gold band from Wal-mart and she has a white gold band she got somewhere.
Mine fits tighter in the summer than in the winter, it actually fell off just yesterday, I wouldn't have noticed if it hadn't made noise when it hit the floor.0 -

My senior year in high school I came home with a ring in my ear.
My dad gave me two options. I could take it out or he would take it out for me. He was not joking. Lol.0 -

That would have been what I said too.
But he is my Nephew and is 19 so I just asked him if he was a Pirate or a fag magnet? MY SIL didn't think that was funny either0 -
I've been wearing my wedding ring for 49 years now. Other than a wrist watch and my high school class ring, that's the only jewelry I've ever had or worn. I did put the class ring away a couple years before we got married. 0 -
I'm on my second wedding ring. First one was plain 14K yellow gold simple band that got too sharp along the edges!
My wife replaced it for our 30th anniversary with a white gold band with some small diamonds in it.
On my right hand I wear a 14K yellow gold ring with a 1911 2 1/2 dollar gold piece in it.
My High Schoool principal had one that I loved, and I always thought I'd get one. In 1988 when my son was born, I bought about any coin I could get dated 1988! I saw the 1911 gold piece at the coin shop and bought it.
In 2010 my wife took the coin had it put in a ring for our 25th anniversary.
I also have a beautiful white gold ring with 3/4 karat diamond and 2 sapphires that was my Grandpas. I wear it on occasion for special events.
I also wear a watch daily. I change them up every couple of months. I have a number of watches.0 -
No rings, no watches, no jewelry worn by me. I do own a few rings, watches, and some old dog tags, and a MENS bracelet my sister gave me for standing up for her at her wedding. They are all in a box or in their original cases that I keep in my gun safe.
I once was given (by my dad) his gold wedding band that he wore the entire 21 years he was married to my mom. She passed and he remarried some time later. I did wear that ring for a couple years but lost it and have never put on another since. My wife of nearly 47 years has never been into any kind of jewelry. Notta, niltch! She has always been into everything nature related.....horses, goats, DOGS (big time) and ME! 8-) One can't go wrong marrying a farm girl!0 -
Back in the 70s when I was working at TVA we had a clerk that worked on our floor that was missing his ring finger. I used to see him in the hallway sometimes and would hold up my hand and say "give me 4".
He jumped out the back of a truck and his wedding ring hung on the door latch and jerked it off. The finger that is.0 -
I have two rings wear occasionally these days; wedding band with 6 nice diamonds and a custom made ring, 14K solid gold with a nice sized, quality diamond in it. 0 -
Yep, wedding band for 55 years. After three years in Army got caught in lathe chuck working as machinist. Frank my foreman from Hungary who shoved cocktails in Russian tanks almost tore my head off for wearing it on the job. Lucky I did not lose my finger.
Many years later helped push a Caddy out of snow, shucked mud and snow from my hand and off the ring went into snow in the woods. Filed a missing report with MP's at the Point. About four months later a Cadet on cross country team at the Point found it and turned it in to MP's. He would not take a reward.
I can't seem to lose this ring so guess I will keep it on a little longer.0 -
Tungsten wedding band since 2008. 0 -
I had to stop wearing my wedding ring 10-12 years ago, my hand would swell up at night and that finger hurt a lot.
Since 2013 I had 7 operations on that hand and probably could wear it again I'm just used to not wearing it now.
I haven't worn a watch since 1978.0 -
So, for all you guys with all the reasons for not wearing your wedding ring ........ how would you feel if your wife stopped wearing hers? 0 -

She did stop.
She does not wear hers most of the time, and I am fine with that.
She puts it on "sometimes" when we go out, when she feels like dressing up.
You said "not wearing your wedding ring" Guess since I do not have one, and never have, I should not be answering this.0 -

It would be hypocritical of me to feel any different toward her if she did not wear her ring - assuming she did not wear it for the same reason I don't wear mine.
In other words, I would not ask her to destroy her jewelry (or hands), if she used (abused?) her hands the way I do mine.
I have leather gloves. She does not.0
