I never take mine off as my mother would kill me (she thinks its unlucky) the only time i will take it off will be our wedding day and then i'll wear it on the other hand untill after the service then put it back again.
As for cleaning it so far its fine and ive had it 16 months now :-)

I havent taken my engagement ring off yet apart from when I do some fake tanning! I'm too scared to put it down and lose it!

I take my ring off as soon as I get in from work and I never wear it in the house unless we have visitors. It is a big stone (green amethyst) and the first day I got it (3 months after we got engaged) I managed to get a HUGE scratch right down the centre of the stone. Many people cannot see it but I know it's there. I am going to get it polished out before the wedding but that obviously makes the stone smaller.

I never take mine off... I have had it almost 4 years and dnt think i have had it off once... :)

Jessrabbit. If you look at some of our other posts you'll find lots of information on cleaning your ring but basically, asuming its a gold, palladium or platinum with diamonds you can just soak it for a few minutes in warm soapy water with a 3 or 4 drops of houshold ammonia in it (available form Boots etc). Then VERY CAREFULLY brush it using a soft toothbrush. Finally rinse under the tap (with the plug it!) & pat it dry with kitchen towel or tissue to remove all of the water. If its white gold which has started to yellow you'll need to get it replated with Rhodium. This will cost anything from £20 - £50 or could possibly be free under your guarantee.

Taking it off for doing the dishes etc is very wise and I would never recomend wearing white gold if you're ina pool or hot-tub - the Chlorine can dame the surface of the ring. Never wear jewellery on the beach as the sand can cause enormous ammounts of damage.

As for wearing it after the wedding - most brides continue to wear their engagement ring on the same finger but its becoming more common to do as they do in other parts of Europe and move the engagement ring to the other hand.

In the end its YOUR choice - don't be bullied!

Also forgot to say I clean mine once a week in jewellery cleaner. I would like to do it more often but I limit myself to once a week!!

I used to wear my E-ring all the time. However I fell when out running and badly scratched to ring. So now I take them (E and wedding) off when I'm...

When in the shower- scared of the plughole!
Dirty housework
Doing my hair (as it catches)
Running (not that I doing that at present!)
On honeymoon I took them off when going to the beach
I will take them off before going to the hospital to have the baby in a few weeks.

For me they are too precious to lose or damage, even if it means not wearing them all the time.

I only ever take mines off if i'm putting on moisturises or when I'm doing some experiments in the lab (some chemicals corrode everything). I didn't even think about it slipping off when doing the dishes etc but after reading Smooch's advice I may start taking it off for cleaning and dishes etc. xxx

i take mine off for showering along with all my jewellery

I only tend to wear it when im going out somewhere....

With my job im not alloewd to wear it, as its large and chunky.. and make catch someone.. then when i get home from work i tend to forget to put it on... lol

Im not wearing it when i get married as im having a large width wedding ring and there isnt gonna be room on my fingers...

I take mine off at night, to wash up etc mine has too many stones and is chunky and catches easily - I havent put it on today as tbh I forgot lol

i take mine off for work (work in a nursery: paint, clay, nappys etc etc) but i always forgot to put it back on which annoyed h2b so he bought me a chain to put it on lol
So i always have it on, but not on my finger! i put it on my finger over the weekend (when i remember!!)
As for cleaning it...its due a clean, had it 6 months and havent done it yet!

i leave mine on all the time sometimes take it off if doing somethings need it dipping again b4 wedding as it gone bit yellowy as it white gold xx

There is a photo of mine up now. Love it to pieces.

I did try and it is tighter on my right hand, but will go on. I can't decide if I want to wear it on the day or not.

i have to take my off on a night time otherwise i end up with a ring print on my face haha

I only wear it a) when I leave the house or b) when we have people round. This is mainly because it's quite fancy and I don't want to scratch my little girl when I'm changing her nappy/picking her up/playing with her. I'll leave my wedding ring on all the time though as it's just a plain band, and when my little girl's a bit bigger I'll wear my engagaement ring all the time too (I wore it all the time before my daughter was born) x

I take mine off for bed, as it's quite big and I worry about it catching on the duvet (although I do sleep in it sometimes, usually if we've been out and I've forgot after one too many ciders lol). I don't wear it when putting my make up on or doing my hair either (don't want the mousse/hairspray catching it), cleaning or in the shower.

I've noticed my ring really shines after I wash my hands with liquid soap and put just a small amount on the ring as well. Once I've rinsed it really sparkles again.

i cant wear mine at work as i am a nurse. the only time i wear it is if we are going out for meals/days outs/seeing friends. i never wear the ring in the house or at night.

i wear mine all the time as its platinum so is normally ok with harsh chemicals except bleach. In terms of the wedding day, I am wearing it on other hand or if it doesnt fit as my fingers are funny, will give it to mum to look after so can add it after the initial photies of the wedding ring as i want pics of both rings together at some point.

Hadn't thought of wearing mine on the other hand before the ceremony - good idea though as I'll want to put it on next to my wedding ring as soon as we're married for photos and stuff! x

At the moment I take it off for sleeping, cleaning the dishes and bathing! The claws on the stone seem to catch on some of my clothes and im worried about losing the stone like one of them came out my eternity ring :(

After the wedding I will put it in my jewlery box or ware it on the other hand not fully decided yet!

I clean mine in some warm soapy water and then dry with a soft cloth!

I never really take mine off only took it of when i broke my wrist and when i was in hospital and i hated it :( x

I never take mine off - except when on holiday and then I have a holiday ring. I've sent mine away to be cleaned before the day, and am wearing the holiday ring as I feel weird without it now.
