I've been fortunate to wear a gold wedding ring for nearly 36 years. I do everything with it, and once in a while stop and question if I should remove it for safety when working with my hands but never really have and I've never had a resulting problem. With that said, I know it's recommended to remove rings sometimes. A few weeks ago I saw an RV video where someone's ring got caught and made a clean bread of the finger...after surgery and lots of pain it's expected he'll heal. It seems I see something similar every year or so, and think about it while turning about as often.
Long story short, I spent $15 on Amazon and they sent me a pack of 7 silicone rings. They don't look as nice as my gold wedding band but after a couple weeks wearing it I think my gold band will stay in my wife's jewelry box and I'll just wear a rubber band on my finger from here out. Doesn't look too bad, and it's one less opportunity to hurt myself as I get older (kind of like getting my SawStop, or wearing a bike helmet).
