People always ask me, it doesn't bug me. But I am the same, I wouldn't ever ask.

Yeah, it's kind of a weird question, but I wouldn't say no. I would never have had the guts to ask someone if I could try theirs on though.

Huh. I probably would...but I'd probably make a face and say "but it...it's my precioussssssssssssss" and hope they change their mind.

Ooh, now I want to do a ring exchange party. Haha. I want to try on all of my friends' rings...and their dresses!

Most definitely. I also think that only a pretty close friend would ask to try it on. It's not like the grocery store clerk would or something. I always have let my good girlfriends try my ring on, and when a couple of my friends recently got engaged, I tried on theirs! It's fun.

Yep! Actually, my old rock climbing buddy would let me wear hers all the time while she was climbing!

Oh totally!
@chopsuey: Um I don't blame your friend. Your e-ring is gorgeous!!!

It's kinda weird question to ask but I guess I would say ok.
The jewelry stores probably have larger rings and she could try a bunch of styles and all. It might be a silent thought of mine.

My concern would be that I have VERY small hands. No one I know could fit in my rings, so I would worry about it getting stuck. Other than that though, I don't see why not for a good friend.

@Torchwood: haha! I would share the same concern.
I've swapped with a friend just to try things on for fun.

I've had a few people ask and I've always said yes. I figure if I was lucky enough to find the guy and get the ring then maybe the luck will rub off on those who are waiting for an engagement of their own!

Yeah, I wouldn't have a problem with it. I wouldn't ask anyone else to try theirs on though.

Sure, but only with caution now. One time my friend tried my ring on, dropped it, and it slipped through a crack in the floor at a restaurant. I almost had a heart attack. We were able to retrieve it or else can you imagine?

I've had several friends try mine on and I know I've tried on at least one friend's. But this was all immediately after getting engaged. It's a little bit odd if you've been married for 5 years or something and they ask randomly one day.

I think most of my close friends and I have all tried on each other's rings. It's funny to see how different they look on different hands.
I was trying my moms e ring on shortly after I got engaged and I accidentally left with it still on my finger!! Luckily I was seeing my dad later that weekend and he brought it back home.

I think we have all tried on each other's rings. Especially before I was engaged. I wanted to see them all on my hand to figure out what I wanted.

sure! i'm pretty sure my close friends tried on my ring when i first got engaged. not sure if they asked or if we were just passing it around and i said they should try it on.

haha, i'm pretty sure this exact same poll was asked on Weddingbee awhile ago and the answers were very, very different.

Sure! Doesn't bother me one bit. Sometimes in the past when a friend has commented on it, I've taken it off so they can see it. If they want to put it on, by all means.

I let my BFF try it on once- it wasn't a big deal! J likes to try it on too haha.

Yup, friends ask me all the time. It doesn't fit most of them though because I wear a 5.
nectarine / 2878 posts
Yep! Several friends have tried it on since I got an upgraded ring recently!

@Grace: LOL. . . . "one ring to rule them all" . . . and all that jazz FTW!
@Chopsuey: Yep. I'd let a good friend try it on, but like you, I would never ask!

@blackbird: hahaha! sounds like there might have been a wee bit o drama bout that!

Definitely! All my friends try each other's rings on, especially after someone first gets engaged, it's so fun!
