Agree with PPs about the ridiculousness of the practice. I don’t have an engagement ring and DH and I don’t really wear our wedding bands.


Im glad to hear that we aren’t the only ones who don’t wear our bands. DH once went on a business trip and somebody flirted with him super hard and the people he was with were confused when he rejected her. They thought he wasn’t wearing his ring on his trip out of town so he could have an affair. So I mean maybe we should but what a pain just so he can avoid that situation. Maybe if he ever goes on a business trip again he can get one off of Amazon and wear it.


They make silicone bands for people who can't wear metal rings for various reasons. Maybe get a couple of those. https://ensorings.com/collections/silicone-rings

I couldn't wear my rings when I was pregnant, so I bought a larger plain white gold band to wear. Worked for me.

I so wish I had a different stone! I don’t even wear mine anymore.

Just get a ring with a different stone. I don't wear a diamond.


I have heard of people getting their original setting reset with a gemstone instead of a diamond. I love moissanite (though very diamond-looking) and opal. Opal is too soft for daily wear unfortunately.

Maybe I should. I got one with a teeny ruby but I lost it. I just don’t wear anything now. The center stone of my ring is an heirloom so I like that about it, at least.

I absolutely hate the somehow still ubiquitous princess cut stone with round diamond halo. Rose gold is often fairly tacky looking (not always though). What engagement ring trends do you hate?
