Should I Wear My Engagement Ring to Bed

Do you sleep with your wedding ring on? As engagement ring experts, newly engaged couples ask us this question a lot. Wearing your engagement ring to bed is usually harmless. However, we do not recommend making it a habit. Keep reading to learn why you should take your engagement ring off before bed. 

What Happens When You Sleep with Your Engagement Ring On

Sleeping with your ring on can put pressure on the band, bending the shank and prongs out of shape. Sleeping with your engagement ring on can also cause it to catch on your blankets. This can damage your ring’s prongs and even pull out diamonds.

Are There Times When I Should Sleep with My Engagement Ring On?

In general, it’s best to avoid wearing your diamond ring overnight. However, there are situations where you might want to sleep wearing your engagement ring. For example, you might keep your ring on if you’re staying in a hotel and are worried you’ll forget it on the bedside table. We recommend finding a safe spot to leave your ring each night, like a ring dish or jewelry case. It might feel strange to take off your ring, but doing so will help you protect its beauty.
