Good luck on that one!

My wife and I both work and play in environments that aren't real friendly to rings so they come off quite a bit. I don't think she even wears hers to work. So, the rings themselves aren't really a big deal to us aside from the cost of replacing them if we were to lose them, but mine comes off and goes on my key chain when I'm hunting, etc.

Told my wife to buy a plain $100 ring for me because it was going to get lost, scratched, bent, etc. Lost mine on the honeymoon. No big deal since it was cheap. If you have a high dollar one she might not be pleased. If she's a good one she won't really care other than the money lost.

Lost mine setting up the tent at a MSU football game. That was 1 year ago. Still have not gotten a replacement. Mine was a little big especially in the winter and would just fall off. I may go get another today actually not that you mention it.

Mine's a little big now in the winter time, and it came off the very first time I duck hunted in it, opening day this year. So I got a pass to leave mine off while I'm hunting. Just lay it in the tray on the bathroom counter every morning while I'm getting ready.

Mine has come off washing the dog before, but other than that, it never comes off.

I've lost some weight since I got married, so now my rings slip off quite regularly - especially in the wintertime. Since then I have ALWAYS taken my rings (including class ring) off before going anywhere near water. And that even includes the shower. Putting them back on is just part of my morning routine.

(I even take them off when I go running in the evenings, because sweat is water. And I ain't gonna lose these things.)

Mine came off throwing the football in the ocean. Caught the ball and realized my finger felt different. Yep it came right off. Wife was pissed bc she told me not to wear it in the water. Well I searched with a crab net thing for 2 hour and no luck. I was pissed so walked back up to the room and ate then had a drink, or a couple. I come back down to the beach 4 hours later and a woman walks up to me and asks if I was looking for something. Well somehow my ring washed all the way up on the beach and she saw it an returned it to me.
I have a tungsten carbide that is heavy. No way I would have thought it wash up on the beach
