E-ring Question?

When travelling abroad do you wear your e-ring? DH is against me wearing it when we travel outside of the US. So I was curious what you all do?

Re: E-ring Question?

I was worried about wearing mine on my HM and it was probably safer there then wearing it places I work at.

But I guess it really depends on where you are traveling

Re: E-ring Question?

Always. Third world countries. Beach vacations. Cities including my own (NYC). Never ever had an issue.

Re: E-ring Question?

I always wear my e-ring on vacation. The only place I didn't was my honeymoon - I thought wearing a diamond in Africa would be in poor choice.
I would say unless you are traveling to an extrememly poor nation, one where there are known acts of violence on tourists, you are fine.

Re: E-ring Question?

On our honeymoon my DH would not let me take it

This time when we go to Italy I am taking it...well maybe just the band now that I think of it

Re: E-ring Question?

Always -- e-ring & wedding band.

People in other nations wear jewelry just as much, if not more, than we do...so I see nothing wrong with wearing my rings.

The sizable chunks of ice I saw on women in Paris made me droooooool.

I figure I could lose my ring in either Long Island or Australia, or anywhere in between, it won't matter where you are, or the chances increase in other places just cause you're a tourist. (With the exception of certain war torn countries that are dangerous no matter who you are, which I assume you wouldn't be visiting.)

I say wear it and have fun!

Re: E-ring Question?

The one and only time I left my e-ring home was when I went somewhere that I'd been strongly warned about pickpockets. And I'm not at all convinced that it was a necessary precaution. I've worn both my rings on every other vacation within the U.S. and abroad.

Re: E-ring Question?

Sure, I wear it almost everywhere.

Re: E-ring Question?

I have a plain wedding band I wear when traveling. One less thing to worry about when at the beach, in the water, etc.

Re: E-ring Question?

I don't because it's a little loose (not enough to have it sized & it's an eternity band so it would be difficult to size) and we go surfing and diving on our trips and I worry it would slip off.

Re: E-ring Question?

i don't wear it, but i hardly ever wear it.

Re: E-ring Question?

I feel like this question comes up once a month

Nope, never. Yes we have insurance, yes the chance of something happening to it is slim... but I don't want to waste a huge portion of my vacation dealing with foreign policemen trying to get a report about a missing ring.. or waste time being upset that I damaged it or lost it.

Not worth it. It stays home and I wear my wedding band (which was relatively inexpensive)

Re: E-ring Question?

I live abroad, so yes.

It depends on the country/city we travel to. I don't want to attract any unnecessary attention, so I don't wear it if we are going to a questionable part of a city.

Where I live, Sydney, I take it off when I know I am going to go on a train late at night (I live about an hour from the centre of the city) or I go to certain parts of the city. I have heard of too many stories of muggings here and unfortunately it happens quite a bit.

We are moving in three weeks to Germany and I am not sure how often I will be wearing my e-ring. They don't do e-rings there.

Re: E-ring Question?

My husband and I have this debate every time we leave the country! Basically it usually works out like this, I will wear it if we are going to a resort area where we're basically always on the property (and I'll only take it off if we're doing watersports or the like). When we go to Europe I do not bring it because my ring is obnoxious by European standards and I don't want to attract unnecessary attention.
