DH told me he needed a chain for his ring. He's heard too many horror stories of people losing their rings that were tied onto scrubs. Most of my chains are dainty/feminine/fragile. What do your DH's use?

Men's chain for wedding ring?

You can buy a chain in any thickness or length you want. They literally make them on huge spools like rope. Just thicker/longer chains mean more metal so they more expensive. You might be able to get away with something leather or even rubber for this purpose. Those would be inexpensive.Wife and #1 Fan of Attending Adult & Geriatric Psychiatrist.

It's not cost, just curious on durability under use (for ppl in the OR). I don't want to get something that will break too easily. Of course, DH never remembers to check out what other people are wearing...just sends me to ask the Board!Wife to PGY4 & Mother of 3.

I'll ask my DH. I think he still ties it to his scrubs, though! He's made it through 17 years of surgery now, although he did knock out the diamond chip in it along the way. And he lost it once...but it was found.

My dad wore his on neck (same chain) for about 20 years before it finally broke...and sadly I believe he lost the ring :/ But if you replace it before 20 years I believe it was a thick gold one. He is an aircraft mechanic, so it is really dangerous for him to wear it...known guys who were electrocuted or lost a finger that wayMarried to a newly minted Pediatric Rad, momma to a sweet girl and a bunch of (mostly) cute boy monsters.

We've used all sorts- from ball bearing chain to silver necklaces. They all tarnished terribly or broke eventually. Now he leaves his ring home on the mantle on his OR days.Wife to Hand Surgeon just out of training, mom to two lovely kittys and little boy, O, born in Sept 08.
