Are you ladies planning or did you wear your engagement ring and wedding band on your honeymoon?
My husband is planning a surprise honeymoon (we leave in 6 days) and I've recently heard that manypeople dont take their actual rings on the honeymoon, they buy fake ones and wear those.
Thoughts?

Of course. You know that rings can be stolen in your home town just as easily as when you travel, yes?

[QUOTE]I wore mine. I locked them in the safe in our room the day we did our excursion. I wear my rings all the time at home. Crime/robbery happens where we live, too. This is my thought on wearing fake CZ rings... Robbers won't know they are fake when they try to rob you for them. So, you're still robbed for nothing and risk being hurt over fake jewelry. If you want to leave your real rings at home, just wear a plain silver band and call it a day.

I plan to do this too.
I also agree with your thoughts on being robbed. It can happen anywhere you go so just do what you can to avoid it happening.
I think it's silly to buy a 'fake set' to wear on travel. If your goal is not to be the target, why give them anything shiny to think about at all? And while I do agree you can be the victim of crime at home as much as you can be in other places, depending on your destination, I would say you could absolutely be inviting more attention than you might arouse at home with a blinging rock and band on your hand. For some of the places I've been, I wouldn't say the odds are anywhere like my odds 'at home'.
I've worked in hotels for 10+ years and i could tell some stories about people who leave em behind!! Make sure you will have a safe or something to lock them at while doing activities you don't want to wear them for.
I had a $400 bracelet stolen out of our hotel room in atlanta because the hotel was newly remodeled and they hadnt gotten the safes put back in yet
I would make sure they're insured and keep them on you rather than leaving them at home. You shouldn't have any problems with water sports if your rings are sized properly. And I'm sure your surprise honeymoon won't be to an unsafe location!
After saying that I do understand that my home has crime but there are a lot of areas that people honeymoon too that the criminals target tourists. So I am just happy being safe then sorry.

I've always worn my ring(s) when we travel. We've been on a few cruises, to Vegas, to Key West, and also our HM to Fiji. I wore my rings the entire time even while swimming, snorkeling, river tubing, ziplining, kayaking, parasailing, hiking to waterfalls, you name it!
Just make sure they're insured and they fit correctly and they shouldn't be an issue with slipping off.

[QUOTE]I bought a $20 plain tungsten band which I use when I travel. I love that it's indestructible and never gets scratched hauling luggage, ziplining, or whatever else I happen to be doing. It was less about theft and more about not wanting to damage it or accidentally leave it in a foreign hotel. I think it's silly to buy a 'fake set' to wear on travel.

<div>I absolutely agree with this. I've lived and traveled in enough low-income countries that I definitely want something plain and inexpensive to wear on my finger for my honeymoon and other times.</div>
There are a ton of sites out there if you just google "fake wedding set" or "cz wedding set" I used palmbeachjewlery.com
i always wear mine-in the pool, at the beach, at the spa, hiking, zip lining etc.. the only time i dont wear them (for fear of having my finger nibbled off by a barracuda is when i snorkel).
I don't want to be a target while on my honeymoon but where we are going, we will certainly stand out as tourists anyway regardless of me wearing my ring. So I'm taking them and making sure that I have them insured. I don't have the flashiest ring anyway.
I think it's ultimately each person's choice in where they feel the most comfortable.
[QUOTE]I took my rings, and wear them everywhere. They're insured.

This. I took mine with. I waited a long time to finally get the rings, so I was excited to wear them.
H brought his too but it was kind of big so it was primarily in the safe in the room, unless we were eating/hanging out at night.
