What do you do with your diamond ring while at the gym?

I do strength training with my trainer as well as boxing, so I leave my e-ring at home. I'm planning on getting the solid platinum classic Tiffany wedding band for daily/anytime use. Since my e-ring is a three stone in basket settings, my stones are pretty secure and not too exposed. I work with my hands (fashion merchandising) and I feel secure doing most activity with my ring on. Just not boxing!

I never shower with my e-ring on, but I always sleep with it on.
 
I wear mine to the gym. I don't really lift weights or anything, just elliptical, treadmill, and my classes if I'm taking any. If I take a kickboxing class, I'll put my engagement ring on my necklack chain. But other than that, I always wear it.
 
IF I still went to the gym, I would want to leave it on because I didn't like strange men talking to me :tdown: (my biggest pet peeve - getting hit on at the gym!). But not only did I do a lot of weights in addition to cardio, I wouldn't want to scratch up the bottom of my ring. I guess in the end I would wear it on a chain around my neck or leave it at home. I have a play e-ring that is cz. . .I would wear that instead to hopefully ward off men (though sometimes even a ring won't stop certain dudes).

I am also really forgetful and might leave it at the gym. I was at Nordstroms one time when a lady shopping near me suddenly remembered she forgot her watch and e-ring at the gym and ran out, frantic. I never want to be her!
 
i always wear my ring because 1. i don't want to misplace it, 2. my engagement ring and wedding band are attached, 3. i can't really easily take my rings off...

but, at the gym, if you're worried about scuffing your ring, what about putting a bandaid over it?
