Do you wear a wedding ring?

Never worn my wedding ring at night, and often don’t in the day, certainly if I’m just at home.

Usually put it on if going out.

It’s a wide 70’s ring, very fashionable when we married nearly 54 years ago, but if I were getting married now, I would choose a thin band and wear it all the time.

Wide bands can be uncomfortable as your fingers age, have had to have mine stretched.

I wear my rings and also my great-grandmother’s wedding ring. She used to work in the mills in Oldham and I often think of the hard work done by her hands while wearing this ring. I feel close to her although she died long before I was born.

I don’t like jewellery either but have never taken off my wedding ring.

I haven't worn a wedding ring for 14 years. I broke my left wrist in 2011 and the ring had to be removed.

I have pierced ears but I haven't worn earrings for ages so now I wear no jewellery at all.

I never take either of my rings off. I have had them 58 years.

No, since arthritis set into fingers and hands, wearing rings is not possible

I wear my wedding ring most days. I take it off at night and sometimes forget to replace it in the morning. Married for 50 years in July.

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!

I am widowed buy I wear my wedding ring so interested strangers think I am claimed. When I lost my husband, I put his wedding ring on a necklace aroynd my neck as I cried. I dont like jewelry so I have put it all away, now. If you are not married, do you wear special jewelry for comfort or strength? Did you wear a ring every day, if you were married? If widowed, did it change fingers, other hand, or get put in a drawer? Was it sold or given to a relative? (Just bored and wanting some stories).
