Who Wears Rings

dav1965
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.

    It wouldn't bother me at all.
    I have a friend who wears his wedding ring on his right hand.
    If someone asks why he wears it on the wrong hand, he replies "I married the wrong girl"!

    I assume both my ex wives stopped wearing theirs.

    You said "not wearing your wedding ring" Guess since I do not have one, and never have, I should not be answering this.
    Yep, me neither I guess.

    Not for many years.

    When I was a corpsman in the Army, I saw several "de-gloving" injuries. At that time, the only treatment was amputation of the finger. Today, microsurgery has improved to the point that hospital "hand centers" can sometimes sew everything back together, provided the skin isn't too mangled.

    I recommend that those who work around machinery, ladders, & vehicles leave all rings at home.

    When I first got married in 1990, I worked a manual labor job so along with our nice wedding set, I also bought a plain gold band. I wore it for many years. Then, completely inexplicably, I woke up one day claustrophobic regarding jewelry. I can't wear watches, rings, necklace/chains, etc. I think it bugs my wife a little bit. She brings it up every few years.

    I don't think this had any impact to my phobia with them, but a mechanic friend of mine has a burned wedding ring. He arced across a starter and frame with his ring and it burned a circle on his finger quit bad. Now, not only does he have a scar ring, he has less functionality with that finger. So, be careful when working with electricity. :o

    I arc'd across the solenoid/starter with my Class Ring and was able to pull away. The Class Ring still has 2 small burn marks on it! No Scar, so I guess I'm pretty lucky....

    Worked as an electrician for years; my wedding ring sat in a jewelry box at home. Retired in 2003 and started wearing it again. It does come off when it is an injury risk, but I put it back on right away. That ring was given to me 44 years ago by a wonderful woman and it symbolizes so much. But in my opinion anyone working in the trades who wears a ring is making a big mistake.

    I?ve never worn a ring, never will. Don?t wear any jewelry/ watches, nothing.

    Lucked out, and my MOS in the ?Corps would not allow dog tags. One in boot laces, one in breast pocket. 2841, ground radio repair. Worked on things with huage capacitors, the size of pop cans.

    My wife wears a wedding ring, and that?s it. Wouldn?t bother me if she put it up and never wore it again.

    I trust her, and she me, or we never would have married.

    Wore my wedding ring until 2 years after my husband died, 28 years. When I took it off I replaced it with my birthstone with a few tiny diamonds.
    Only time without my wedding ring or a ring on my left hand was for a couple of surgeries.

    Just doesn't seem right without a ring there.

    I didn't wear my wedding ring for years while working because I saw several guys lose a finger getting them hung up on things.
    Back in my Army days I saw a what a 24 volt system could do to a finger when the wrench hit the batteries.
    Now that I'm old and gray I wear my wedding ring

    Haven't worn a ring since high school. Too dangerous in my line of work. I suggested Son stop wearing his wedding band for similar reasons. He looked at me like I was crazy. I told him he doesn't have to show me, the livestock, or the machinery he's married.
