AIBU to leave my wedding rings at home for holiday?

I just wear mine on beach and active holidays. They don't fall off and they can be cleaned. I take them off for activities like climbing (as it's risking a nasty injury wearing them) or for things like making burgers at home.

Mine has been rafting, caving, to water parks, to theme parks. It never (very, very rarely) comes off.

Genuinely didn’t realise this was a ‘thing’.

I just wear mine wherever I am going. I’m far more likely to lose them taking them on and off constantly.

Every day is a school day!

Hilarious that people have fakes. I wear mine on holidays but they’re fairly modest, and if I’m going on a boat trip or sea swimming I’d leave in the hotel safe.

I never take valuable jewelry on holiday. Not worth the risk.

I wear a cheap version just because after 27 years with a ring on my finger it feels very strange not to wear something. It is more to do with sentimental value that the actual cost of the rings. I leave my actual rings at home.

I had to take mine off last year for a day when I was having a general anaesthetic and I couldn't bare the feeling of my finger without the ring!

I leave my wedding band and engagement ring on for everything. Swimming, beach, cooking, rolling out dough, etc etc.

It had never occurred to me to take them off for anything.

My engagement ring is white gold and diamond. No idea how much it cost as DH chose it.

We also do plenty of active/water sports and travelling about, it’s never come off so far so I’m not worried!

Why are people taking them off?

Surely more chance of loosing them that way?

(I thought this thread was going to be more salacious than it is)

DH has a simple band which can be hit

Hit?

I just wear mine all of the time-I never take them off so wouldn’t do this. It’s fine if you don’t want to though. I wouldn’t bother with a fake ring though!

People talk to me whether I have a ring on or not. But yes I do find men sometimes try and chat me to if I'm not wearing it. I prefer to have things clear from the start.

Wedding ring is a plain gold band which I wear everywhere.

Engagement ring is often taken off for activities, and so is usually left hidden at home for holidays.

Yes, I'm wondering about this too! I can understand why someone might not want to take valuable jewellery away with them but I'm not really seeing why you'd need to wear fakes instead.

I'm not married but it would never occur to me to take my jewellery off for a holiday or swap it for fakes. I just wear mine all the time.

Mine never slips off so I don't worry about swimming etc. When going to a country with higher crime rate I have swapped it for a version I bought for £1.99 on eBay. Looks like a wedding ring but I don't need to worry about anyone trying to steel it.

After 25 years of marriage, it doesnt feel right not to have a ring on that finger

I wear my wedding ring all the time as just a plain band, but don’t tend to take my engagement ring in holiday. When I first got it a friend who used to work in a jewellery shop told me to never wear the ring in bed or when showering as those are the times you are most likely to catch the claws on the ring. I have followed that advice and so not wanting to leave my ring in a hotel room I don’t tend to take it with me

Mine is also platinum and diamond - I know it's super hardy hence why it was picked, also fully insure. But I'm also going to water parks / doing water sports - if I was just planning on floating in a swimming pool it might be different, but it's too risky to wear something so precious to me in a situation like that imo, I don't want to have to make use of the insurance because I took a risk wearing it white water rafting!

I'd rather leave it in the safe at home than the safe in the hotel as well, I trust my home safe and house sitting family member way more than the hotel one (although I'm sure they wouldn't risk it!).

I only take mine off if I'm making pastry.
Mine's not so big that I'd worry about anyone stealing it.

I have a plain wedding band and I never take it off!

But I also don't want to be walking around with £££ on my finger at the beach / pool / holiday in general. My next holiday will be mid 30s with lots of water involved, I'm not splashing around with a house deposit on my finger 😂

Why? My engagement ring is worth 5 figures and I wear it all the time on holiday, including in the pool. It’s platinum and diamond so very hardy and is also fully insured. The only time I really take it off is if we’re somewhere particularly dangerous like outside a resort in Jamaica or Africa.

I don’t ever take mine off

I take fake rings on holiday because I feel naked without my wedding / engagement rings, I like having something there now and it feels weird not too.

But I also don't want to be walking around with £££ on my finger at the beach / pool / holiday in general. My next holiday will be mid 30s with lots of water involved, I'm not splashing around with a house deposit on my finger 😂
