I’ve worn rings in the past but can’t stomach the thought now. I wear a chain with a small pendant but that’s it. All of the other jewellery I’ve worn over the years has been attached to me (navel/eyebrow/tongue/nipple/ear piercing).
I’m a bit od a DIY type of gal so rings get in the way/get caught on things.
Oh and the chubby fingers don’t help much either.
No watch, no bangles or necklace

Currently wear four rings - wedding/engagement, one my son gave me, another one my son gave me, and one from a friend of mine - two on each hand.
For awhile I wore one on very finger and each thumb, but it got to the point where morons with their, “Wow - look at all the rings” comments were getting on my last nerve so I stopped. Now when I put them all on thinking I’ll start wearing them again they feel kind of strange and I end up taking them off.
I have fat fingers. Rings call attention to exactly how fat they are.
But if I wear the ring for a few weeks (or so), it no longer bothers me.
No rings,no watches no necklaces no nuttin.
When I have fingernails I wear 5-6 rings. Three on my right and 2-3 on my left. They’re usually kind of chunky celtic designs. I don’t usually like delicate thin rings. One I only take off if I’m doing something with tools or electrical equipment; the rest I take off at night. I feel kind of naked without them.
I don’t like rings on my right index finger but I don’t mind them on the left. They feel funny on the right for some reason.
I rarely wear earrings; I wear necklaces and bracelets about 2-3 times a month.
I can’t STAND having a watch on. Not only do I have a raging nickel allergy, I also can’t stand being able to see what time it is at work. Knowing I’ve got x number of hours till I can go home drives me up the wall to the point of a panic attack. Rings, however, I like, but right now I’m only wearing my wedding band constantly because my engagement ring is growing thin on the bottom part of the band and I’m scared I’ll break it.
Married ten years and all but about two weeks has been without my wedding ring. They just aren’t comfortable. The wife doesn’t mind unless she catches my eyes wandering towards another woman and then she threatens to put it on by force.
Now watches are different. I am naked without mine. I check the time constantly. My friends are used to it, but it tends to drive other people crazy.
Well hell. I thought that would go away but I guess not. Been five years for me and I still find myself thumbing for it.
I used to wear rings, earrings and a watch. I no longer wear any of them.
I am sure if I put some on and wore them for an extended time I would get used to them but I really feel no desire to put myself through the adjustment period.
I never plan to be married again so I don’t have to worry about that either.
I like rings, but apparently my hands are made of copper… either I end up losing the rings after a while, or having to take them off because my hands have swollen a bit and it hurts.
If I ever get married (highly unlikely) I’ll have to beg off on the ring thing and ask for nomeolvides instead (“forget-me-not,” it’s a bracelet with your name on the outside and your SO’s on the inside).
