the only thing i wear all the time without removing is my white/black diamond necklace. i love it and i never take it off—even when i sleep or take a shower.

since my hair is very thick, i have to wear it up when i sleep or it would make me too hot anyway. otherwise, it would probably get in the way of my hair, too. but since i wear it everyday, it's just easier to sleep and shower with it.

i even wear it while working out or playing tennis. same goes with my cartier LOVE bangle—since it's not meant to be taken on and off anyway.
 
I don't sleep or shower with necklaces on. I actually take all my jewelry off as soon as I come home. I feel like it weighs me down so I could never sleep with any jewelry on.
 
Ive been given a small tiffany open heart, silver on an 16 inch chain. I really want to wear it all the time but the chain seems soooo delicate, also i run alot, sometimes twice a day. Do you think the constant taking on and off would wear the catch out, or is it more risky leaving it on and losing it? How durable are Tiffany chains/clasps?
 
I don't, but I have allergies. I got used to taking all my jewelry off, except when going out because I'd break out even with gold, especially if I let it get wet. I suspect I could probably wear platinum all the time, but now I'm so used to taking it off.
There's also the question of chains breaking.
 
Always. I sleep, shower, and do everything in all of my jewelry (necklace, earrings, watch, and rings). The only time I take them off is when I clean/polish them or I will take my rings off if I am applying lotion.
 
I have a short (14 inch? 16 inch?) gold necklace that I wear to sleep or into the shower but everything else comes off first. I'm worried about harming silver by taking it in the shower.
