Do people wear necklaces to bed?

[Bluemamma]

Hi, quick one: do you wear necklace to bed? I ordered a gorgeous piece from aurum and grey- little gold chain with 2 tiny letters for my kids names. I work from home and with covid I don’t go out anymore so if I only wear it “out” then I won’t wear it at all! And it’s expensive so would love to wear it al the time. What do others do?

Care needs aside - most people are referencing convenience and habit rather than adaptations for care needs. I think that's entirely different.

If you can be bothered to dress yourself and brush your hair every morning I don't understand why you couldn't also be bothered to put a necklace on if you wanted to wear one.

I was told that you can damage a chain by wearing it to bed so I stopped doing it.

Why does it matter? If it doesn't bother the person?

I wear jewellery every day, at the very least I wear 3 rings, engagement and wedding on left hand, and I rotate a few on the ring finger of right hand.

Most days I also wear a gold necklace, I have 3 I rotate depending on what I am wearing.

I take all jewellery off as soon as I come home, I have a particular place where i leave them and I always know where they are.

My jewellery is very expensive and I would not wear it doing chores or even just relaxing

It takes me seconds to put it on each morning and take it off each night.

I am almost 20 years married and have never misplaced, lost or broken any of my jewellery in that time.

I'm not saying it matters, I'm saying I don't understand and asking questions using people's own phrasing so that I might understand.

The op was the one saying she couldn't be "bothered" to put a necklace on in the morning. That's why I used that particular word in my comment, because I found the logic curious.

A toddler is more likely to break a necklace than sleeping in it tbh. I never take necklaces off, they don’t tarnish because they’re cleaned properly every so often, and never broken.

Cool thanks, ok so when mine arrives it stays on- sorted:).

It’s only a small minimalistic chain with two tiny letters

I sleep with my necklace, earrings and rings on. Some times I forget to take my watch off too. I have never broken any jewellery doing this.

It's never crossed my mind to take my jewellery off at night. I wear a necklace, bracelet & 2 rings. My bracelets only been off twice in 23 years

I have a necklace I wear all the time. It's fiddley to get on and off and I can't be arsed. I've actually had it in solidly for two years now I think which is actually a big grim now I think of it

@Bluemamma

Thanks everyone! I do agree it’s best to take it off for the night but honestly with a toddler and a newborn I can’t be bothered to take it off and then put it on every morning. I know it’s just never gonna happen. I did it with my wedding band and engagement ring and ended up not wearing them since covid and working from home :) just couldn’t be bothered every morning.

If I take jewellery off at night I often forget to put it back on in the morning, so easier to just leave it on.

I wear all my jewellery to bed - necklace, 5 bangles and 6 rings

My dh bought be a Annie Haak heart chain for Christmas and I have worn it the whole time, apart from one night I think. It's very light and I don't notice I'm wearing it. The other reason I wear it the whole time is it's a bit fiddly to do up and I can't be doing with the faff.

No, always remove watch, earrings and necklace.

I wear a diamond solitaire necklace 24/7. I take all other jewellery off but leave the necklace on. I've always worn a necklace 24/7, never once had one break. I'm far more likely to lose it if I take it off regularly so this feels like the next way to keep it safe and enjoy it.

I always take jewellery off for bed. I'd be worried about a fine chain breaking or being uncomfortable. Also worth considering that if it's gold plate (which I think auren jewellery is), the plate will wear off with time. Wearing it 24/7 and in the shower etc will speed that process up.

I don't, but I could see it being doable with a plain chain that is thick enough not to be fragile, and thin enough not to cut into your neck when you lie down. I do always sleep with my wedding and "engagement" ring on, though I used to take my original engagement ring off as it had a more prominent and scratchy stone (this one has a smooth flat stone).

I wear my diamond solitaire necklace all the time. It's too much trouble to use the magnifying mirror to see the clasp to do it up!

Aren't you worried about strangulation or decapitation?

😮😮

Aren't you worried about strangulation or decapitation?

Literally the furthest worry in my mind

I don't understand why you wouldn't just put it on and then take it off at night. It's no more effort than taking clothes or shoes off and putting them on!

I've been wearing a titanium chain with my wedding ring on for 15 years, no problems at all.

oh no, i get quite claustrophobic if i cant get a necklace off
