You were undoubtedly ecstatic to be able to wear your bridal wedding ring for the first time when you got married. It’s not only a beautiful symbol of your love and devotion, but it’s also a tribute to your commitment. While it’s natural to want to have your love sign close at hand at all times, there are occasions when it’s preferable to leave it at home.
It’s not a good idea to insist on wearing your bridal set wedding ring all the time. It’s prudent to plan to ensure the safety of your ring. Take it off if there’s a chance it’ll get damaged or, even worse, you’ll get hurt while wearing it.
Let’s take a look at some of the situations in which taking off your wedding ring is essential.
Painting
We all know it’s not a smart option to handle chemicals while wearing a diamond ring, regardless of the metal. Paint, for example, can be classified as a chemical, even though it isn’t the first thing that springs to mind. Even if you’re really cautious, getting a drop of paint on your wedding ring can be a major inconvenience. Not only does it tarnish your ring, but cleaning it is a difficult task.
Cooking
While it may seem self-evident to remove your ring when cleaning, doing so when cooking is equally crucial. It may seem inconvenient to remove your wedding ring each time you cook, but it is a good option for sanitation. Wearing your wedding ring while cooking is unlikely to harm it, although things may get dirty in the kitchen quickly.
Snorkeling And Swimming
While you should be thrilled to begin your deep-sea expedition, don’t forget to take your ring with you. Some metals are corroded by the saltwater prevalent in oceans, which can cause discoloration or degradation. If snorkeling isn’t on your itinerary but a swim in the pool is, it’s still a better idea to remove your wedding band. Chlorine and other chemicals common in pools can corrode the metal of your ring, causing dents and discoloration.
Construction Work
It’s a well-known fact that jewels and heavy machinery don’t mix well. Wearing your wedding ring while doing manual labor will cause your ring to break, scrape, or crack. And, if you’re like most individuals, you’ll want to remove your ring while working. Sweat can diminish your ring’s sparkle and cause it to slip off.
