Recently married, I try to wear it as often as possible, but realistically it's about 2/3 the time.

Was married before and had a cheap $20 tungsten one from Amazon. It's supposed to not irritate skin, but it flared up my mild eczema, so I wasn't really wanting anything this time around.

I didn't want anything this time around, but she wanted to get me something since I got her a nice ring set.

Her rings are platinum with blue/green sapphires as the main stones, with some tiny diamonds mostly from her grandmother's wedding ring. I liked the blueish sapphires, but platinum was way too expensive since I wasn't sure I could wear it.

I went with titanium this time, as the color seemed closer to platinum and was much cheaper and supposedly better for skin conditions with 3 small inlaid bluish sapphires, coincidentally similar to her father's ring. She lost both her parents recently before our wedding, so having so many family connections with the rings meant a lot to her.

I think it looks pretty sharp, which is good because this was more than $20 though not outrageous, it was tapping the upper end of what I'd have wanted her to spend on it. So far no skin irritation.

I wear it out and at my regular job. At home is 50/50 since I don't wear it doing a lot of cleaning chores since I don't want to trap chemicals or moisture under it and I usually have it off cooking since I wash things as I go. Sometimes I forget to put it on after that, but we have ring keepers in the kitchen, bathroom, and bedroom, so there's always a set place to stash it where we take them off.

I also won't be wearing it at the animal clinic. Don't need to both them with shiny objects or have someone's toes get caught in it, plus there's some tough disinfectants and of course random poo and other things I don't want in the books and crannies.
