My grandfather was so proud of each college graduate in his family that he insisted on buying us class rings.  Who am I to say no?

I still wear mine every now and then, but I actually don't like the feeling of jewelry on my person, in general.  Even my wedding ring comes off at night, I can't stand the feel of it on my finger when I'm trying to sleep

We have these rings:



I don't like rungs either, but this is amazingly comfortable, easy to get one and off, and purty.  The rings roll over each other if you have them in the right orientation.

Euro countries have a great respect for engineers, too.  When I was working in France, Germany, and Italy, they called me "Doctor".  To them, an engineering degree held the same esteem as a medical doctor.  It was weird, but you know, I rolled with it.

Funny, around here they just call us "Hey nerd." 

Although I do think that as the world has become more intensely technological, people are starting to understand that nerds make the world work. It's our era. 

I wore my wedding ring religiously until the divorce papers were signed

don't think I've worn any type of jewelry since

I wore a wrist watch back in the daze before cell phones

not a fan of jewelry

but, if others like it, that's ok

My grandfather's UC-Berkeley class ring was a part of him. Impossible for me to imagine him without it. Long after his death, it occurred to me that part of that may have been a reaction to the West Pointers he served with throughout his career who wore their rings all the time. Maybe--maybe not. Anyway, I bought a UW class ring probably in large part due to my admiration for my grandfather. I wear it off and on--used to wear it a lot more. I worry that it is pretentious (it is), but I still like it--and still like thinking of my grandfather.

My wedding ring only comes off when required (or when I'm fiddling with it). I can understand people who take them off to sleep, and some jobs and hobbies require that you remove jewelry, and some people have allergic reactions to the metal, but in general I agree with the line of thinking that a married person should wear their wedding ring. I guess I'm old fashioned that way.

Curiously, my grandfather didn't wear a wedding ring--just his class ring on the left hand where one would expect a wedding ring. I always thought that was weird.

My first wedding ring is at the bottom of Newport Harbor.

I might have tried to hock it, but I figure it's bad luck anyway.

I likewise don't enjoy jewelry. I do wear my wedding ring, though. My wife doesn't trust men who don't wear their wedding ring, and I have to say that I wouldn't either.

not sure where mine is today

I took it off while driving and put it in the ash tray of my 2002 GMC 2500HD truck.  Never smoked in the truck, ash tray was clean.

Traded the truck on a 2007 Impala SS, don't know if I took the ring out or not.  Wasn't important to me any longer.

I have a titanium ring because it is super light, but which means I'm F'd if I get my hand stuck with it.  I take it off all the time.  I loathe jewelry,  but do wear it when out in public, for the most part.  It comes off the moment I get home.

My wife was going to buy me a platinum ring. I don't give a #&$@. I had her buy me cobalt chromium at about 10% the price. 

Not like anyone can tell the difference, and not like anyone cares what kind of ring a dude has anyway.

I wear a silicone ring when I'm hiking, brewing, or doing anything else where a ring would interfere. You may want to look for something like that when you're doing something that could potentially get it stuck on your finger...
