When I got married, we skipped the engagement ring specifically because I can't wear it at work. However, we did opt for 5mm beveled sterling bands. The bevel is important in my work because it doesn't snag on the client, and the only time I remove it is when the client has a skin issue (keratosis, or large skin eforum.xxxs). I also have an identical copper ring that I use for energy work as well.
When we renewed our vows we bought fancy milgrain ones for goin' out on the town.
My husband is a painter, so his ring takes a lot of abuse, and if we ever lose them (which, no matter how strong your bond, does happen) - they are silver, and financially easy to replace.
