I only wear stud earrings and a small diamond necklace when riding. My engagement ring is one of the three stone rings and sticks up pretty high. I don't wear it riding because of that and my hands swell. Although my wedding ring is a channel-set diamond band I don't wear it either. I also get cold and the wedding ring will fall off without the engagement ring to catch it. I lost a cell phone to a port-a-potty this spring, I can't bear the thought of it being one of my rings!

My university is also big on class rings and I wear that every minute I am not on the bike. For that one it is a pure comfort issue, the band is very thick. I left all my rings at home this weekend for a camping trip. We have renter's insurance, so I wasn't too worried. I am pricing some fire safes though.

I have seen plenty of women sporting rather large diamond rings, but it is not for me. DH doesn't wear his ring either for comfort reasons.
