Never take off my 8 rings!  Bought rings when I worked because I could see my hands on the desk. 

Can't see chains around your neck!

Still wear them everyday!  They are all white and yellow gold and moissanite, gems and real diamonds!.

Some have special meanings!

They are medium to small...my hands are small!

I  only wear my wedding rings on my left hand...no rings on the right. I take them off and put them in a little dish when I come home.

It seems while I'm home, I'm painting, cleaning, cooking and don't want to damage the stones, setting, get them dirty, etc.

What's your habit wearing rings at home?

I'm the same as you I don't wear them at home since I don't want them to get damaged.

I wear an 18k lavender jade and diamond ring on my right hand. I never take it off as I consider it lucky.  I wear my wedding and engagement ring on my left.  For those of you who wear your diamond rings how do you keep them clean?  Between cooking and cleaning and lotions and sunscreen I have a hard time keeping them sparkly.

I have tried many things over the years to clean my rings and jewelry.  Sonic doesn't really do anything; however, the steam cleaner is amazing: my diamonds and gold really shine and sparkle.  I steam stem about twice a month.

Folks really notice the sparkle....sep. when then compare theirs to mine.

The device ran about $100 but has been more than worth it.  If you use one over a sink, make sure you place a screen over the drain.....the item could fall from the long tweezer-like grippers.  Also, when done all your steaming, you need to let the steam and water cool down before opening the top lid or you can get burned.

If you took your jewelry to a jewelers to be cleaned, they use steam before polishing.

@Zhills   I clean the rings whenever I see "junk" underneath....usually twice a week. In the winter ,using more lotion, they get dirty more often.

 I'm sure steam cleaning does a great job but I need something easy that I could use a couple of times a week.

I understand the frequency...nothing to stop you from using it as often as you wish.  When you see the difference, you'll I derstand.  Incidently, I think the cleaner a ring starts out, it may keep the sparkle a little longer.

Good luck with whatever method you choose!

As much as I love rings I do not sleep in them.  Even when I was married I took my rings off untill I decided that wearing a plain gold band was comfortable and never got in the way of anything.  I would wear the band most of the time.  I guess I just can;t sleep with jewelry on.

Your ring sounds lovely

I love my jewelry and don't go anywhere wtthout rings, bracelets and so on.  But the minute I get home off goes the jewelry and I wash my hands.

I especially love rings and have so many of them I match them up with what I am wearing at least one on each hand sometimes more.

I seldom wear diamond wedding set as I like to change up rings to color coordinate and truthfully diamonds are my least favorite stones.

Funny how it is when out and wearing jewelry they don't bother me; don't even notice they are on, but uncomfortable wearing around the house and can't imagine sleeping in them or showering or doing anything.
