Wedding rings at work

Hi,

I have a similarly sized ring, and would not personally wear it at a facility. It could get caught on a patient's skin, harbor bacteria, among other things. It could also be damaged if you are busy and bang it against something.

Right now I work in home health, and take it off when I'm transferring my patient or doing housework. Just use your better judgment.

I love my wedding set, but it has a marquis cut diamond and the points catch the gloves. So I have the Latin sterling silver version of this ring for work:

MY BELOVED RING LATIN - STERLING SILVER/14K at Floriana | KA6372

The quote is from the Song of Songs (or Song of Solomon) from the Bible. My husband has the matching ring and wears it on his right hand. :)

I wear mine and i have 1.5 carat center stone. I'm just very careful with it. My wedding ring is very important to me and i never take it off.

Ours are very important to us too. Before I worked in patient care, I never took mine off either. But my ring makes it impossible for me to remove gloves correctly, exposing me to infectious risks. No matter how much I love my husband or how committed I am to him, that's not worth it.

PS I feel poor. My center stone is a quarter carat.

I could see how a marquise cut would make it more difficult. And as far as the size, I started off with just a plain band with a few tiny stones. I've upgrade a few times to get what I have now. :)

I only wear my wedding band at work. I wear my engagement ring as a necklace on a chain around my neck. I have known many nurses that have lost their stones at work and I am not taking the chance. Mine doesn't even have a diamond but you can't be too careful

We are only allowed to wear plain wedding bands.

Can you buy a chain, remove the ring for work and wear it around your neck? After you leave work, you can replace it on your finger.

My center diamond is my grandmothers that my fiancé had re set into another setting. There is no way I would wear it to work or school, BUT ... I also have my grandmothers plain wedding band and that is what I plan to wear :)

I used to wear my engagement ring at work, but I was having trouble getting gloves on and off with it. It would either tear the glove or the glove would get stuck on it. Now I only wear my wedding band at work. No more issues with gloves and I don't have to worry about gross stuff getting stuck in all the nooks and crannies of my beautiful ring.

I would not wear one. When I was married I had a 1 ct. center round stone with 6 small ones surrounding it. I made sure I took it in every 6 mos. for cleaning and to check the prongs and after several years the prongs became so worn that the stone just about fell out. I would have been heartbroken if I had lost it. I worked in retail for a long time and it was constantly getting caught on things. The prongs just catch easily. If you decide to, make sure you get it inspected for wear and tear several times a year.

Disclaimer: I'm clearly a guy...

I have been doing patient care for quite a long time, even before I was married. I've been married for quite a while and I do wear my wedding ring at work and while doing clinical at school. My ring is absolutely plain and has no sharp edges on it at all. I don't remove my ring except to ensure it's clean and when I do that, I also check my skin under the ring to ensure that it's still intact. I'm very familiar with problems that the "typical" wedding rings and bands that women wear and from "a guy's" perspective, knowing what a headache those things can be, if my wife was working in a similar occupation where she had to wear gloves for her own protection, I wouldn't feel at all slighted about her choosing to wear a "plain" ring while at work and the "nice" set elsewhere, or for that matter, taking the rings off and wearing them as a necklace. My wife doesn't work in healthcare, rather she works in childcare and only very rarely has to wear gloves. Fortunately, she has also never had her gloves tear...
