Do you wear a wedding ring?

yes I always wear my wedding ring It will always be special to me

My husband and I both wore wedding rings. I wore mine for a few years after he died. Now its on my on the other hand though I never want anyone else. I have friends who continue to wear their ring on their left hand it seems to bring them comfort. Do what you feel comfortable with.

I wear my wedding ring. I also wear my husband’s wedding ring on my other hand. I’m only recently widowed but I have no intention of ever taking it off or changing hands. At some time I intend to get my husband’s ring made smaller but atm it’s held on with another narrow ring.

We lived many together years before getting married ( think close to 30 ! )
I had a ring of mine I liked but did not wear and also my mother's wedding ring .
So we took them to Hatton Garden and had them melted down and female into a wedding ring . Then readers , I married him !

Yes I wear a wedding ring but it isn't my original one. I was upset my in laws removed my Mum in laws wedding rings when she died. She'd wore them for three decades following my Father in laws death. I just didn't think it was right to remove them

Not since I got lymphoedema in my left hand and arm following breast cancer treatment. If I do wear it, I panic I might not get it off again if my finger swells up! Doesn’t feel right to wear it on the other unaffected hand.

I lost mine, I used to take it off at work and it , along with my engagement ring must have ended up in the bin.
I wasn’t too bothered, they hadn’t cost a fortune and I still had the husband!
However one day I thought I was being chatted up so thought we had better get another one. It was very cheap but I liked it, still wear it and still have the husband. Later I got a new ‘engagement’ ring and added an eternity ring. Much nicer than my old one.
I don’t know how I’d feel about it all if he died but he’s in my heart, not in my ring and I’d keep wearing it although I think that the chances of being chatted up are rather more remote these days.

My wedding ring has been on my finger for 47 years - never came off and I don’t think now I COULD get it off even if I could think of a reason why I should, which can’t.

Yes, I still wear a wedding ring in my widowhood.
I’m not remotely interested in another man, although friendship would be pleasant. Besides, at my age, a man would probably be looking for a nurse!

For the same reasons as GrandMattie, I still wear my ring, although widowed.

I take it off when kneading dough, or gardening without gloves.

I often wear my mother's engagement ring, or one of the rings my grandmothers left me.

My wedding ring and eternity ring are both stuck to me permanently due to arthritic bony fingers.

Does anyone else have any tips on how to clean them?!

I always wear my wedding ring and my engagement ring which is now wafer thin at the back after 62 years on my finger.

been married 53 years neither of us have ever worn a wedding ring

No - wore one for 31 years. I'd put him on a pedestal - and he had not done the same... Stopped being a doormat. After a while I tried it again - my finger burnt. The mind is a strange thing.

This is not quite the answer to your question Macaydia but this memory came into my head whilst I was reading Gransnet answers! Fifty five years ago when I was newly married I made a pie with short crust pastry. I was VERY much a novice - and was following the instructions exactly - so I removed my engagement ring to do the rubbing in etc. I just put it on the work surface. I cut off the pastry around the dish just onto the surface - then somehow knocked it off - along with my ring. In a nano second our five month old Labrador gobbled it up - along with the ring! Panic all round! I rang the vet ( you could do those things easily back in the day) and he said she was unlikely to come to any harm with the pastry - but she might be sick and vomit up the ring or we should follow her around and check all poos! My husband did this and lo and behold - the ring eventually appeared in a poo!! I’ve worn my wedding ring since we were married and I wear the aforesaid engagement ring most days but not at night. Never forgotten that 😂!!

I still don't know what to do with my nans engagement ring. My grandfather sexually abused me as a child and I just can't wear it.

Still married after 56 years. I never ever leave the house without earings and every day a different pair depending on my outfit.
I love my rings but only wear them if it's a special occasion. They twist round, my engagement 💍 sticks out and my eternity 💍 ends up with the diamonds rubbing against the steering wheel. I don't want to hurt them. I lost a stone in Sainsburys once. Maybe that's why I'm careful.

My husband and I both wear wedding rings (42 years).

I’ve always worn my wedding and engagement rings. They have been adjusted to accommodate the changes of the years though. I’ve been widowed for five years, but it’s never occurred to me to take my rings off. I know people who only wear their engagement rings if they’re going out, but I’ve always worn mine. This isn’t for sentimental reasons, it’s because I like my engagement ring, and can’t see the point of it sitting in a drawer. I take it off if I’m ‘ hand mixing ‘ when baking. Not many occasions to wear other jewellery nowadays, though I rarely go out without wearing ear rings - just small ones. In the last couple of years, I’ve made three trips to a shop which buys gold, to off load bits and pieces which belonged to my mother, and also odds and ends of my own, which no one will want. I made over £1100, to my surprise.

I love rings, I think I follow my paternal grandmother who always bought nice rings. I wear my wedding ring and eternity ring each day. Sometimes in the night my fingers swell and I have to take them off quickly, they always go back on when I get up. My engagement ring only comes out when we go out and that's when I wear my late Mums engagement ring as well. As for earrings, I have a few dressy pairs but tend to switch between just 2 pairs of a day.

I have always worn my wedding ring whenever I leave the house but then take it off again once indoors, a habit formed over 55 years ago. That hasn't changed at all since my DH passed away, I still consider myself married to him and am not interested in meeting anyone else.

I’ve worn my wedding ring for 60 years now , only removed it towards the end of my first pregnancy when fingers were swollen. The intricate design has worn smooth over the years but still love it !

My husband and I both wear wedding rings. However my engagement ring was damaged so I wore my mother’s engagement ring which has now become thin and worn so I’ve sold them and I’m having my grandmothers ring refurbished. I’ve always loved it. She was married in 1920.
I recently sold some old gold items some broken pieces and an earring and got £500 for them. Better than storing them in a box.

I sold mine when things were very tight!
