Do you get your hands dirty?

You’ll want a sturdy, sleek ring with a low setting and smooth details (rather than nooks and crannies) if you’re in the business of getting your hands dirty—think: chef, sculptor, landscaper and so on. Details like channel-set stones and engraved metals are more likely to catch dirt or snag under gloves. You also might want to opt for platinum, since it’s less likely to scratch against heavy equipment.

Do you care for people or work with children?

If you’re a doctor, nurse, teacher or child care provider, consider a ring that doesn’t have sharp edges that could scratch, snag or unintentionally inflict harm on anyone. You could go for a simple engagement band with channel-set diamonds, a bezel-set diamond ring or a prong setting with a low-set diamond.

Does your work involve risky situations?

Unfortunately, if your work involves occasionally putting yourself at risk—say, if you’re a bodyguard, police officer or social worker—you’ll want something a little more discreet. Instead of a large, dazzling diamond or stone, opt for a delicate one or a ring with multiple, smaller diamonds.

Do you travel a lot?

The same goes for a career or lifestyle that involves a lot of travel. You never know whom you might encounter in different locales, and it’s a good idea to keep your ring low-key to make yourself feel safer.
