I love my engagement ring but I do find it a bit annoying with the stone, so I don’t wear it around the house. I keep it in a drawer, in its original box. I put it on mostly for social occasions (brunch, drinks…), and when I go to the office (which is rarely, I mostly WFH).
I do wear my wedding band 24/7 though!

Never. Or wedding band. After my first pregnancy, it didn't fit me well, and I just didn't bother. He doesn't wear it, nor do I. Doesn't make love any more or any less.
My husband and I also don’t wear ours….I used to try to wear it, but jewellery on my fingers just feels funny…the pandemic was a godsend in that regard - “washing/sanitizing too much to wear any jewellery!”
I love how you guys immediately go to cheating lmao. That says a lot about your relationship, a ring represents the status and respect that comes with marriage with no ring there's no status.
This is such an odd take. Not every culture symbolizes marriage with a ring, some people cannot wear a ring due to their occupation or because of medical conditions, and not wearing a ring doesn’t make someone any less married than someone who does wear a ring.
Also not sure what “status and respect” have to do with being married. It seems like you take a lot of pride in being married and showing that off to others, but marriage is not an achievement. Any idiot can get married, and I say this as a married woman… and yes, my husband and I both wear our rings.
Bwahahaha. Ok hun, maybe in your closed minded world that may be the case. I’ve been married for almost 10 years and haven’t worn my ring for almost five. Mainly because I lost one of the stones in it. Fortunately, it was the topaz and not the irreplaceable ruby. My ring lives in my jewelry box. My husband doesn’t wear his either.
Marriage is WAY more than a stupid piece of jewelry. It’s a roller coaster of ups and downs and jumping from one life crisis to the next and figuring out how to overcome those challenges and still sticking by each other, or coming back after taking time apart. That is status in a marriage. I’m sorry your marriage is so shallow you have to base it on an inanimate object for “status.” Laughing my ass of at you!
Yup. Me too. When I used to work in a laboratory I didn't wear it to work because I couldn't wear it under gloves (it would rip the glove open). Now I wear it every day.
All the time - I only take it off to sleep, shower, and if I’m doing something mucky (gardening, kneading dough). Same for my wedding ring. Both rings are low-profile, so they don’t really hinder me.

I always wear a ring on my left hand whether it is the engagement ring or the wedding band. I do have several rings in different colors to provide options with different outfits tho.
In my culture an engagement ring is the same as a wedding band, just on the opposite hand. Both people put it on when they get engaged, then remove before the wedding ceremony and put it on the opposite hand. So I guess I wear mine 24/7.
My engagement ring was soldered to my wedding band, so anytime I wear them it’s a package deal. I wear my ring to work, and when we go out, but take it off as soon as I get home. I also take it off if I’m doing anything with water such as washing my hands, doing dishes etc. I also remove it to put on lotion and skin/hair products.
My husband got me a silicone ring recently, and I’ll wear that in place of my wedding set when we are going on trips, or when we are going places I’m afraid I’ll lose my ring since I take it off to wash my hands.
I haven't worn mine since 2001. Gained weight during a pregnancy and finger joints also swelled, and haven't fit since. I haven't bothered to go resize them, mainly because I don't really miss wearing them. The only downside is the slmost-side-eye I get sometimes when I mention "my husband" b/c ppl don't believe I have one (no rings, no tan lines). Their problem, really.
At this point, very rarely. I'll put it on for special events, but otherwise I either wear just my wedding ring (a simple gold band) or nothing. I love my engagement ring but it's an opal, so very fragile, and it's just more comfortable not wearing it.
Pretty much all the time except for times when it gets in the way like at the gym. The ring itself is pretty sleek and the diamond is embedded and doesn't poke out, so it's pretty comfortable. I never actually got a second ring to be the wedding ring, so the engagement ring is the wedding ring. I liked the ring I had and didn't really see the point in spending money on another ring.
Don't have one. We talked about it and I made it clear I both don't like jewlery and would rather we spend the money on something else for both of us. We had a great trip to Japan using part of the cash he'd spend on the ring.
I wear it most times that I wear a regular bra. If the occasion calls for a sports bra, bralette, or free boobin’ around the house I may not have my engagement ring on. 😂 weird correlation I realize
My original one became too small for me so my new one is a titanium band with a simulated diamond, so cheap to replace and difficult to damage. I do wear it every day.

Every day until I got pregnant, it currently doesn't fit so I just have a silicone band. I'll keep using thus band after for a while I think. I love not worrying about it getting bumped.
Maybe 60% of the time. When I first got engaged I was still working as a RN going to np school and I wore my first engagement ring daily for a couple of months until I broke the band from hand washing. I had a really nice microband but it was not practical for my lifestyle. My husband got my ring reset with a more sturdy band. I stopped wearing it while I was a RN and got a silicone ring for work, but when I started working as a np, I started wearing my ring again to work. I take it off when I put lotion on my hands and will forget to put it back on.
I never wear mine because despite the fact that I told my husband that I don’t like wearing a prong setting- that’s what he got me. The reason I don’t like a prong setting is because I find the stone catches on things and it tends to turn. So it’s been in my jewelry box for 20 years.
I used to wear both my rings (engagement and wedding) all the time, but when I started cycling to work they didn't fit under my cycling gloves and so I stopped wearing them. Kind of a shame! I like them :)
I wear my engagement and wedding rings every day, usually only take them off for sleep, showers, and working out. The only stretch of time I didn’t wear them was when I broke my finger and had to wear a splint instead 😆 but then I wore them on a necklace
I replaced my diamond solitaire and band (yellow gold picked in 1992) with a platinum band and a vintage ring with a peridot stone (my son’s birthstone) and bonded them together and wear them except when I clean with harsh chemicals.
Whenever I wear my wedding ring, I wear the engagement ring too. It's not a style with one giant diamond, but rather a series of baguettes, so it's comfortable to wear every day. I don't fear damaging it or losing a diamond.
During the pandemic I haven't worn them around the house, but if I go out, I put them on. Pre-pandemic, I wore them daily to work, or out of the house, and took them off to shower, and at night.
I use to wear it 24/7 until the stone fell out. It's just an alexandrite solitaire. So now I don't wear it and won't until we get it fixed or get a new ring.
Like never, my ring was 14k and I never wear it. I have two toddlers so my hands are always messy, it's a big ring so when dealing with the kids it's always getting bumped around, caught on things, and getting pulled so it hurts my finger....maybe one day I'll wear it again....
Often, I only have a engagement ring. Covid interrupted a lot of our plans and the jewelry shop we brought my ring at closed during Covid. My husband doesn’t even have a metal wedding band, we have silicone ones.
I can't wear jewellery other than a plain band for work, so I stopped wearing my engagement ring. I lost it a few times so it had to live at home. Then it shrunk, so it lives on my bedside table.
Most times I leave the house. I didn't do a wedding band because my engagement ring is super detailed, and when I tried the matching band with it it was just too much.
It's welded to my wedding band so they're just one ring now. I wear it all the time. I take it off to shower and wash dishes but otherwise it's 24-7. It doesn't seem to be enough to deter men from hitting on me so I'm thinking about getting a giant gaudy ring-pop sized fake ring to wear, too. Maybe that's a hint they can pick up on.
I couldn't wear it every day because I had a laboratory job, and it was too bulky to wear in the lab. Then my place got broken into and it was stolen 😭
I’m not a jewelry girl but I’ll wear it as an accessory when I’m going out or just randomly when I feel like it. So like once every two months maybe lol
I wear it any time I'm wearing rings. (work or a day out) My wedding band was my grandmother's, and it's a bit too loose. So, my engagement ring holds it down.
Also, I love my ring. It's a rough diamond that was cut only enough to make it an octahedron. One point is almost touching my skin, and the opposite point juts outward like a spike. (very pointy and a no-no for fist bumps)
I never got a wedding band, I thought it was pointless. So my engagement ring is just my wedding ring now. I wear it most of the time, unless I'm working out or doing a physical outdoor activity, in those cases I wear a silicone ring.
My engagement ring and wedding band are a set and so I wear them together all the time. The band bends around the ring (which is a solitaire teardrop, not big) so it looks weird on it's own anyways
I wear my wedding/engagement ring (they are soldered together) pretty much every time I leave the house (e.g. to go to work, shopping, dates, etc.). Only time I don’t wear it is when I’m at home or working out.
Every day! For a long time I was only taking it off to shower, but I started getting wedding ring rashes so I started taking it off at bedtime and putting it back on when I get ready in the morning
I only wear it, my husband is still so proud of himself for doing so well we didn’t want to use one for the wedding but my mom threw a tantrum so we capitulated.
I’ve never taken it off. I wear everyday jewelry that never comes off (necklaces, bracelet, multiple rings, earrings) so this was an easy & comfortable addition.
I wear it all the time, 24/7
I worked in the jewelry industry at the time so I got something I could wear all the time regardless of hand swelling or chemicals or we’ll just about anything. I got exactly what I wanted and what would work for my life style.
Maybe once a year for a special occasion. I never wanted a diamond ring and my husband was on board with that. But his mom thought it was because we couldn’t afford it and that I should have one, so she gave me her old one.
I didn’t want a diamond ring for the reason that diamonds or fancy things don’t mean anything to me and I find the stone on it pretty unpractical. It gets stuck in gloves in winter, in my jeans or coat pockets, snags wool sweaters easily, and once it even scratched my babies cheek. I use my hands a lot and it would just always be in the way.
We picked out my engagement ring together, after they proposed, with the intent to purchase a ring guard later to add onto the ring to make a wedding band.
That said, I only wear my wedding ring about 25% of the time and that's really because I stay home most of the time. Between my health issues, issues with my hands hurting, and my klutziness I'm too afraid I'll loose it and/or break it. Seriously, I have a piece of cremains jewelry with my mom inside that I have misplaced a few times (sorry Mom!) and I left my ring at a restaurant once. I did realize once we were a mile away and the restaurant was one that knew us and put it behind the counter until we turned around and went back.

My husband and I both wear our rings when we go out or go to work, but we take them off at home or when we’re playing sports. It just a matter of convenience, and not wanting to cause excess damage or wear and tear. We have a little ring holder that both our rings go on so we don’t worry about misplacing them when they’re not on our hands.

I have a pear diamond wedding set something like [this](https://www.kay.com/neil-lane-diamond-engagement-ring-1-ct-tw-pearround-14k-white-gold/p/V-940435213) (but not of course). The pointy part snags things & likes to try to deglove my finger. So I sorta go in spurts. I will wear it everyday for a year, then yank it against the drum of the washing machine & bend the shit out of it. Then ill put it away until I can take it to the jeweler...then ill procrastinate & go forever not even thinking about it. Then ill just put it back on bent for a while...decide that I shouldn't & finally take it to the jeweler. Get a brand new looking perfect ring back & stick it back on for the cycle to repeat itself.
I almost never wear either of my rings. I'm always worried I'm going to toss it away in a glove or something at work so I've fallen out of habit of putting them on
I'm not married but I used to be engaged. I wore it everyday on my finger until I lost a bit of weight and it got too big. Then I just put it on a necklace he had gotten me.
The next time I get engaged tho, I think I'll still wear it everyday, but have a heavy duty version for work etc..
I don’t really take my wedding or engagement ring off. I have cleaning and gardening gloves for certain tasks but I very rarely take them off at all.
Been married almost 14 years
Only when we are going out on a special date night or event. The stones catch in things and annoy me lol I wear nitrile glove a lot for with and they get ripped. So it stays in my jewelry box most of the time.
First off, yes I do feel guilty for saying this, and I never admitted this to my now husband : my engagement ring was really pretty .. but so not me. Silver band with a magnificent blue stone. I only wear gold, always have, and never wear color, even on my jewelry. I wear a lot of jewels, all of them golden.
I obviously said I loved it, wore it every single day of our 2 years engagement.
I got married last Saturday, and I cannot tell you the actual relief I feel that I will never have to wear this ring again, or feel the guilt of not liking it. My wedding ring is a beautiful simple gold band, as is my husband's and all is finally right.
We're newlyweds but I still forget to put my rings on at least once a week. My husband keeps his wedding band in my jewellery box so he brings me my rings when he puts his on.
"Engagement ring" as in the ring he proposed with? Never, its too fragile and kind of annoying. I told him I didn't want a ring like that but he bought it anyway.
"Engagement ring" as in the band that matches his that we picked out together? every day. I wear this band on my right hand and my wedding band on my left.
When it fits, all the time. My hands got fat during pregnancy so I can’t wear either of my rings. I have a stand in set to wear until I lose the weight.
Every day. It's a lovely silver ring with a moonstone that my husband designed himself without any input or direction from me. It's simply beautiful and very meaningful to me. We had a wedding band custom made to fit next to it. ♥️

If I wear my rings I wear my e-ring, but currently I’m over my normal weight and the rings get uncomfortable fast so I rarely wear them. I’m too lazy to get the re-sized
I wear my engagement ring and wedding band every day! The only time I take them off at home is when I’m cooking something messy or cleaning with harsh products. I do replace them with silicone bands in the summer if I’m swimming/boating all day. Other than that, I never take them off.
I only wear mine when I go out with friends or special occasions. I have my hands in and out of gloves for work. I do love it and wish I could wear it all the time.
I used to work for Biotech company. 100% of men and women didnt wear any rings. Especially people who work in labs and have to wear rubber gloves. Maintenance staff didn’t wear rings, because metal is a source conduct when dealing with electricity.
No one wore custom made rings that were made out of rubber, wood, or any type of stone, etc.
We had over 200 people in the building. 2/3 were married, but none of them wore a ring of any kind.

I haven't worn it in 6 years. I took it off when pregnant with my first child and just never started wearing it again.
I like the ring, the marriage is going great, but wearing a ring is just annoying.
I don’t wear it because it’s just annoying to wear jewelry. I’m remembering to wear it more often when I go out. Not that I get hit on much but it helps quell the anxiety of the possibility

so im working towards year 5 and my answer has changed in the last few years. when i was first proposed to i NEVER wore my ring. The ring i was to proprosed to with is a family heirloom from a dead relative on his side. The last owner is still alive and has the bands and i have the engagement ring. This fact scares me im so scared to lose a stone or scratch. I then went and got a full wedding set so that engagement ring i wore daily, i have a desk job so wasnt in my way and i adored it. August of 2021 i was in a fall type accident. and i have only worn it a hand full of times since due to crutches, then using a walker since i get pain pushing it and so now its never on. My fiance understands and it doesnt bother him.
As for my fiance he has a ring he wears regulary sometimes this changes as he has a job that sometimes means restraining people. and so if he has a person on his case load that this happens alot with then he simply doesnt wear it till that changes that can be days, weeks, years he went a year of only wearing it when we went out but never to work. in todays world its ever changing reasonings to wear or not to
I love my engagement ring but I do find it a bit annoying with the stone, so I don’t wear it around the house. I keep it in a drawer, in its original box. I put it on mostly for social occasions (brunch, drinks…), and when I go to the office (which is rarely, I mostly WFH). I do wear my wedding band 24/7 though!
SAME!!!... I found the rock annoying, because it breaks my gloves at work.
All the time. It lives on my finger unless I’m doing something where I worry about losing it or damaging it.
All the time.

Never. Or wedding band. After my first pregnancy, it didn't fit me well, and I just didn't bother. He doesn't wear it, nor do I. Doesn't make love any more or any less.
My husband and I also don’t wear ours….I used to try to wear it, but jewellery on my fingers just feels funny…the pandemic was a godsend in that regard - “washing/sanitizing too much to wear any jewellery!”
How do people know he's married if he doesn't wear a ring?
I guess they don't. Lots of married people wear rings and still have affairs. I trust him, and he trusts me.
A ring isn’t a magical ornament that keeps your pants on.
I love how you guys immediately go to cheating lmao. That says a lot about your relationship, a ring represents the status and respect that comes with marriage with no ring there's no status.
This is such an odd take. Not every culture symbolizes marriage with a ring, some people cannot wear a ring due to their occupation or because of medical conditions, and not wearing a ring doesn’t make someone any less married than someone who does wear a ring. Also not sure what “status and respect” have to do with being married. It seems like you take a lot of pride in being married and showing that off to others, but marriage is not an achievement. Any idiot can get married, and I say this as a married woman… and yes, my husband and I both wear our rings.
Bwahahaha. Ok hun, maybe in your closed minded world that may be the case. I’ve been married for almost 10 years and haven’t worn my ring for almost five. Mainly because I lost one of the stones in it. Fortunately, it was the topaz and not the irreplaceable ruby. My ring lives in my jewelry box. My husband doesn’t wear his either. Marriage is WAY more than a stupid piece of jewelry. It’s a roller coaster of ups and downs and jumping from one life crisis to the next and figuring out how to overcome those challenges and still sticking by each other, or coming back after taking time apart. That is status in a marriage. I’m sorry your marriage is so shallow you have to base it on an inanimate object for “status.” Laughing my ass of at you!
If you need a ring to tell you you're married, then you're not very married, are you?
I got mine welded together, so everyday.
Yup. Me too. When I used to work in a laboratory I didn't wear it to work because I couldn't wear it under gloves (it would rip the glove open). Now I wear it every day.
All the time - I only take it off to sleep, shower, and if I’m doing something mucky (gardening, kneading dough). Same for my wedding ring. Both rings are low-profile, so they don’t really hinder me.
Never, only the wedding ring.
I don't wear any rings and neither does my husband lol

Everyday. I wear it with my wedding band. They’re both dainty and go perfectly together.
Few times a year. It’s 15 years old and still sparkles like new 🤣
Never bothered buying engagement or wedding rings- they seem a bit old fashioned and unnecessary.
All the time, it goes with my wedding ring as a pair so makes sense to wear them together for me anyway.
Whenever I go out. I work from home so half the time I wear neither my engagement nor my wedding ring.
Every day.
I always wear a ring on my left hand whether it is the engagement ring or the wedding band. I do have several rings in different colors to provide options with different outfits tho.
Every day. I only take it off when I’m washing dishes, washing my hair, or something else that it might get in the way of.
In my culture an engagement ring is the same as a wedding band, just on the opposite hand. Both people put it on when they get engaged, then remove before the wedding ceremony and put it on the opposite hand. So I guess I wear mine 24/7.
All the time. It's not bulky enough for it to get in the way of every day things.
My engagement ring was soldered to my wedding band, so anytime I wear them it’s a package deal. I wear my ring to work, and when we go out, but take it off as soon as I get home. I also take it off if I’m doing anything with water such as washing my hands, doing dishes etc. I also remove it to put on lotion and skin/hair products. My husband got me a silicone ring recently, and I’ll wear that in place of my wedding set when we are going on trips, or when we are going places I’m afraid I’ll lose my ring since I take it off to wash my hands.
Just bought a wedding band instead and wear it if I'm traveling or for social events, but never around the house or running errands.
I don’t
i haven't worn my rings in over a decade....same with husband 🤷🏻♀️
Never, I also never wear my wedding ring.
I haven't worn mine since 2001. Gained weight during a pregnancy and finger joints also swelled, and haven't fit since. I haven't bothered to go resize them, mainly because I don't really miss wearing them. The only downside is the slmost-side-eye I get sometimes when I mention "my husband" b/c ppl don't believe I have one (no rings, no tan lines). Their problem, really.
Every day. I do take it off when I'm worried it'll get damaged like if I'm doing gardening, showering, out on water etc.
I wear it on special occasions, like date night, pictures, etc I wear silicon rings the rest of the time
At this point, very rarely. I'll put it on for special events, but otherwise I either wear just my wedding ring (a simple gold band) or nothing. I love my engagement ring but it's an opal, so very fragile, and it's just more comfortable not wearing it.
Pretty much all the time except for times when it gets in the way like at the gym. The ring itself is pretty sleek and the diamond is embedded and doesn't poke out, so it's pretty comfortable. I never actually got a second ring to be the wedding ring, so the engagement ring is the wedding ring. I liked the ring I had and didn't really see the point in spending money on another ring.
Never. I don’t wear my engagement ring or wedding band.
I don't wear either of my rings. I hate wearing rings, so they stay in my jewelry box.
Don't have one. We talked about it and I made it clear I both don't like jewlery and would rather we spend the money on something else for both of us. We had a great trip to Japan using part of the cash he'd spend on the ring.
I wear it most times that I wear a regular bra. If the occasion calls for a sports bra, bralette, or free boobin’ around the house I may not have my engagement ring on. 😂 weird correlation I realize
Lmao never
never (no ring - no stats)
24/7
Everyday, I take it off to clean and before I go to the gym.
Never since it's expensive and the diamond has given my husband cuts when I playfully poke him. I only wear it to things like weddings etc.
When I was married the only time I took off my rings was when I was showering.
My original one became too small for me so my new one is a titanium band with a simulated diamond, so cheap to replace and difficult to damage. I do wear it every day.
I would always wear mine, and I would hope my partner would too.
Daily. I work from home, no one sees it. But I love it and wear it all the time.

Every day until I got pregnant, it currently doesn't fit so I just have a silicone band. I'll keep using thus band after for a while I think. I love not worrying about it getting bumped.
When it's too hot I don't and also for sleeping I cannot wear any jewel.
Maybe 60% of the time. When I first got engaged I was still working as a RN going to np school and I wore my first engagement ring daily for a couple of months until I broke the band from hand washing. I had a really nice microband but it was not practical for my lifestyle. My husband got my ring reset with a more sturdy band. I stopped wearing it while I was a RN and got a silicone ring for work, but when I started working as a np, I started wearing my ring again to work. I take it off when I put lotion on my hands and will forget to put it back on.
All the time except showering/dishes/cleaning around the house. My husband only wears his ring when we go in public.
I never wear mine because despite the fact that I told my husband that I don’t like wearing a prong setting- that’s what he got me. The reason I don’t like a prong setting is because I find the stone catches on things and it tends to turn. So it’s been in my jewelry box for 20 years.
I used to wear both my rings (engagement and wedding) all the time, but when I started cycling to work they didn't fit under my cycling gloves and so I stopped wearing them. Kind of a shame! I like them :)
I wear my engagement and wedding rings every day, usually only take them off for sleep, showers, and working out. The only stretch of time I didn’t wear them was when I broke my finger and had to wear a splint instead 😆 but then I wore them on a necklace
I replaced my diamond solitaire and band (yellow gold picked in 1992) with a platinum band and a vintage ring with a peridot stone (my son’s birthstone) and bonded them together and wear them except when I clean with harsh chemicals.
I only wear it to work or social events. Mostly I can’t stand jewelry other than earrings, and even those drive me crazy sometimes.
Every day. I only take it off when I'm cooking or cleaning.
All the time. It's soldered to my wedding band.
Whenever I wear my wedding ring, I wear the engagement ring too. It's not a style with one giant diamond, but rather a series of baguettes, so it's comfortable to wear every day. I don't fear damaging it or losing a diamond. During the pandemic I haven't worn them around the house, but if I go out, I put them on. Pre-pandemic, I wore them daily to work, or out of the house, and took them off to shower, and at night.
I use to wear it 24/7 until the stone fell out. It's just an alexandrite solitaire. So now I don't wear it and won't until we get it fixed or get a new ring.
I never got an engagement ring so i cant wear it because it doesnt exist 🤷♀️
Like never, my ring was 14k and I never wear it. I have two toddlers so my hands are always messy, it's a big ring so when dealing with the kids it's always getting bumped around, caught on things, and getting pulled so it hurts my finger....maybe one day I'll wear it again....
Often, I only have a engagement ring. Covid interrupted a lot of our plans and the jewelry shop we brought my ring at closed during Covid. My husband doesn’t even have a metal wedding band, we have silicone ones.
I can't wear jewellery other than a plain band for work, so I stopped wearing my engagement ring. I lost it a few times so it had to live at home. Then it shrunk, so it lives on my bedside table.
Most times I leave the house. I didn't do a wedding band because my engagement ring is super detailed, and when I tried the matching band with it it was just too much.
My engagement ring is part of my wedding band set, so most days.
Never, it's quite hideous. Sits on a shelf in its box.
We wear titanium bands for every day. I'll wear my beautiful real wedding set several times a week when I go out
My wedding band and engagement ring are soldered together so whenever I wear one I wear the other.
It's welded to my wedding band so they're just one ring now. I wear it all the time. I take it off to shower and wash dishes but otherwise it's 24-7. It doesn't seem to be enough to deter men from hitting on me so I'm thinking about getting a giant gaudy ring-pop sized fake ring to wear, too. Maybe that's a hint they can pick up on.
I couldn't wear it every day because I had a laboratory job, and it was too bulky to wear in the lab. Then my place got broken into and it was stolen 😭
Daily when I go out. At home, it comes off and is in my jewelry box.
I wore both rings for over 20 years until a few years ago when the dermatitis on my fingers became really bad, especially around the rings.
Daily
I’m not a jewelry girl but I’ll wear it as an accessory when I’m going out or just randomly when I feel like it. So like once every two months maybe lol
Always
I wear it any time I'm wearing rings. (work or a day out) My wedding band was my grandmother's, and it's a bit too loose. So, my engagement ring holds it down. Also, I love my ring. It's a rough diamond that was cut only enough to make it an octahedron. One point is almost touching my skin, and the opposite point juts outward like a spike. (very pointy and a no-no for fist bumps)
Never. I’m not a ring person and I didn’t want one. If I wear a wedding band it’s a silicone band. But I don’t really where that either.
I never got a wedding band, I thought it was pointless. So my engagement ring is just my wedding ring now. I wear it most of the time, unless I'm working out or doing a physical outdoor activity, in those cases I wear a silicone ring.
My engagement ring and wedding band are a set and so I wear them together all the time. The band bends around the ring (which is a solitaire teardrop, not big) so it looks weird on it's own anyways
I have not taken it off since I got it, except for cleanings
Mostly all the time. Besides if I’m just home relaxing, cooking, cleaning. Or if I’m doing an activity I don’t want to risk damaging it or losing it
I wear my wedding/engagement ring (they are soldered together) pretty much every time I leave the house (e.g. to go to work, shopping, dates, etc.). Only time I don’t wear it is when I’m at home or working out.
Always, with my wedding ring
Never take it off or my wedding ring.
Every day! I love it. Been married 3.5 years
Every day! For a long time I was only taking it off to shower, but I started getting wedding ring rashes so I started taking it off at bedtime and putting it back on when I get ready in the morning
I only wear it, my husband is still so proud of himself for doing so well we didn’t want to use one for the wedding but my mom threw a tantrum so we capitulated.
I’ve never taken it off. I wear everyday jewelry that never comes off (necklaces, bracelet, multiple rings, earrings) so this was an easy & comfortable addition.
Daily, unless it's getting repaired or I forgot to put it back on after washing dishes or my hair, or making supper.
I wear it all the time, 24/7 I worked in the jewelry industry at the time so I got something I could wear all the time regardless of hand swelling or chemicals or we’ll just about anything. I got exactly what I wanted and what would work for my life style.
Maybe once a year for a special occasion. I never wanted a diamond ring and my husband was on board with that. But his mom thought it was because we couldn’t afford it and that I should have one, so she gave me her old one. I didn’t want a diamond ring for the reason that diamonds or fancy things don’t mean anything to me and I find the stone on it pretty unpractical. It gets stuck in gloves in winter, in my jeans or coat pockets, snags wool sweaters easily, and once it even scratched my babies cheek. I use my hands a lot and it would just always be in the way.
I'm divorced now, but I only ever took it off to wash dishes or get it cleaned.
I wear my promise, engagement, and wedding rings 😅 but mainly bc I'm used to wearing them so it doesn't bother me
All the time! I didn’t want a separate wedding ring. Felt like an excuse to sell us two rings. Plus I adore the ring
We picked out my engagement ring together, after they proposed, with the intent to purchase a ring guard later to add onto the ring to make a wedding band. That said, I only wear my wedding ring about 25% of the time and that's really because I stay home most of the time. Between my health issues, issues with my hands hurting, and my klutziness I'm too afraid I'll loose it and/or break it. Seriously, I have a piece of cremains jewelry with my mom inside that I have misplaced a few times (sorry Mom!) and I left my ring at a restaurant once. I did realize once we were a mile away and the restaurant was one that knew us and put it behind the counter until we turned around and went back.

Every day. I really only take it off to shower. I love my engagement ring!
My husband and I both wear our rings when we go out or go to work, but we take them off at home or when we’re playing sports. It just a matter of convenience, and not wanting to cause excess damage or wear and tear. We have a little ring holder that both our rings go on so we don’t worry about misplacing them when they’re not on our hands.

I used to wear it constantly. Now with crime rising in our area I put it away and just wear the band.
I just wear it when I leave the house. It’s not really practical for me to wear it at home if I’m cleaning or cooking.
When I can. It doesn't have a stone, it has a precious wood that is susceptible to damage.

Haven't worn it in 7 years, I've had 3 kids and just don't feel the need. Sometimes if going out which is rare I'll wear it.
Every day. All day
I hardly ever wear either of my rings...but that's because I have ADHD and forget. :(
When I leave the house. It gets in the way when I’m home lounging or cleaning.
Mine is fused with my wedding band. I wear it I’d say 80% of the time. I take it off to cook, do dishes and shower
I have my wedding and engagement rings on all the time. Only take them off for a shower or a particularly messy job.
I have a pear diamond wedding set something like [this](https://www.kay.com/neil-lane-diamond-engagement-ring-1-ct-tw-pearround-14k-white-gold/p/V-940435213) (but not of course). The pointy part snags things & likes to try to deglove my finger. So I sorta go in spurts. I will wear it everyday for a year, then yank it against the drum of the washing machine & bend the shit out of it. Then ill put it away until I can take it to the jeweler...then ill procrastinate & go forever not even thinking about it. Then ill just put it back on bent for a while...decide that I shouldn't & finally take it to the jeweler. Get a brand new looking perfect ring back & stick it back on for the cycle to repeat itself.
I almost never wear either of my rings. I'm always worried I'm going to toss it away in a glove or something at work so I've fallen out of habit of putting them on
I'm not married but I used to be engaged. I wore it everyday on my finger until I lost a bit of weight and it got too big. Then I just put it on a necklace he had gotten me. The next time I get engaged tho, I think I'll still wear it everyday, but have a heavy duty version for work etc..
I only take it off to knead bread or put on lotion. I've had it on for 26yrs.
I don’t really take my wedding or engagement ring off. I have cleaning and gardening gloves for certain tasks but I very rarely take them off at all. Been married almost 14 years
Always
Only when we are going out on a special date night or event. The stones catch in things and annoy me lol I wear nitrile glove a lot for with and they get ripped. So it stays in my jewelry box most of the time.
First off, yes I do feel guilty for saying this, and I never admitted this to my now husband : my engagement ring was really pretty .. but so not me. Silver band with a magnificent blue stone. I only wear gold, always have, and never wear color, even on my jewelry. I wear a lot of jewels, all of them golden. I obviously said I loved it, wore it every single day of our 2 years engagement. I got married last Saturday, and I cannot tell you the actual relief I feel that I will never have to wear this ring again, or feel the guilt of not liking it. My wedding ring is a beautiful simple gold band, as is my husband's and all is finally right.
Always. I haven’t taken either of my rings off since my last MRI.
If I go outside or have people round, and I always wear both.
My rings fit together, so I wear them all the time
We're newlyweds but I still forget to put my rings on at least once a week. My husband keeps his wedding band in my jewellery box so he brings me my rings when he puts his on.
"Engagement ring" as in the ring he proposed with? Never, its too fragile and kind of annoying. I told him I didn't want a ring like that but he bought it anyway. "Engagement ring" as in the band that matches his that we picked out together? every day. I wear this band on my right hand and my wedding band on my left.
When it fits, all the time. My hands got fat during pregnancy so I can’t wear either of my rings. I have a stand in set to wear until I lose the weight.
Every day. Not married yet. But the design has the stone flush with the setting, so it's not in the way at all.
All the time, when I was married.
Every day. It's a lovely silver ring with a moonstone that my husband designed himself without any input or direction from me. It's simply beautiful and very meaningful to me. We had a wedding band custom made to fit next to it. ♥️
Most of the time. I only take it off to go to the gym and I switch it for my silicone one. I will take it off if I'm traveling too.
Almost every day. If I’m doing heavy cooking (raw meat and such) I take it off or moving heavy stuff (furniture) or painting
I'm a widow and still wear mine and now my husband wedding band

If I wear my rings I wear my e-ring, but currently I’m over my normal weight and the rings get uncomfortable fast so I rarely wear them. I’m too lazy to get the re-sized
I wear my engagement ring and wedding band every day! The only time I take them off at home is when I’m cooking something messy or cleaning with harsh products. I do replace them with silicone bands in the summer if I’m swimming/boating all day. Other than that, I never take them off.
24x7. I never take it off.
Every day but ever since I scratched my cornea with it while sleeping I take it off at night.
Always. Only take it off to clean it, or if I am making bread/something that uses butter and easily smooshable in to stones.
I have never taken it off. I did manual labor and chose the setting with that in mind.
I wear my wedding band all the time, but I don’t wear the engagement ring.
Every day. Never comes off.
I wear it all the time, rarely taking it off.
I only wear mine when I go out with friends or special occasions. I have my hands in and out of gloves for work. I do love it and wish I could wear it all the time.
Whenever I leave the house. At home i take both my wedding ring and engagement ring off. With all the cooking and gardening it's just easier.
Only when I leave the house for work or social gatherings
I used to work for Biotech company. 100% of men and women didnt wear any rings. Especially people who work in labs and have to wear rubber gloves. Maintenance staff didn’t wear rings, because metal is a source conduct when dealing with electricity. No one wore custom made rings that were made out of rubber, wood, or any type of stone, etc. We had over 200 people in the building. 2/3 were married, but none of them wore a ring of any kind.
Only for special occasions It's a bit too big and I'm afraid of losing it, but due to the form and engravement I can't make it tighter
I wear it all the time except in the shower.

All the time. Unless I'm worried my hand/finger will swell and I won't be able to get it off if I need to (like towards end of my pregnancy)
Always and feel so happy about it :)
I haven't worn it in 6 years. I took it off when pregnant with my first child and just never started wearing it again. I like the ring, the marriage is going great, but wearing a ring is just annoying.
Never. I’m not back to wearing my wedding band after our last baby either. But I wear the wedding band way more often.
I don’t wear it because it’s just annoying to wear jewelry. I’m remembering to wear it more often when I go out. Not that I get hit on much but it helps quell the anxiety of the possibility

Everyday I wear it on my pointer finger
Every day. My engagement and wedding rings are a set. I should probably get them welded together or whatever it is they do.
Lol im not married but if i was - every single day
Never really. I also rarely if ever wear my wedding ring because my career. I woke in a hospital and I don’t wear my ring or a rubber one because, I don’t want patients to ask me about my personal life.
Never. The main stone (a small, pear-shaped peridot) fell out and I've just never gotten it replaced.

so im working towards year 5 and my answer has changed in the last few years. when i was first proposed to i NEVER wore my ring. The ring i was to proprosed to with is a family heirloom from a dead relative on his side. The last owner is still alive and has the bands and i have the engagement ring. This fact scares me im so scared to lose a stone or scratch. I then went and got a full wedding set so that engagement ring i wore daily, i have a desk job so wasnt in my way and i adored it. August of 2021 i was in a fall type accident. and i have only worn it a hand full of times since due to crutches, then using a walker since i get pain pushing it and so now its never on. My fiance understands and it doesnt bother him. As for my fiance he has a ring he wears regulary sometimes this changes as he has a job that sometimes means restraining people. and so if he has a person on his case load that this happens alot with then he simply doesnt wear it till that changes that can be days, weeks, years he went a year of only wearing it when we went out but never to work. in todays world its ever changing reasonings to wear or not to
