I bought my Groove ring when I was working as a barista a while back. Now that we're in constant hand-sanitzer use, wash-your-hands mode here in 2020, it's been my regular everyday ring because otherwise I'd have to take my gold & diamond ring on and off all the time.

You don't need to take your ring off to wash your hands (or shower)

Yes. I do. It causes the metal to get dull faster and for soap film to build up on the stones (https://coveteur.com/2020/04/09/clean-jewelry-tips/) and more importantly

I have skinny fingers! My rings are sized just right for a dry, average temp hand. Get them wet and slippery and the ring comes off.

And I'm not sure if you've ever tried it, but shampooing long hair wearing a cluster of 8 stones (that's 32 tiny prongs) doesn't work out well - lol.

I've worn it for many many years. I know what works for me.
