I have always gone to churches (UPC and ALJC) and then later to a couple of other churches where the wearing of jewelry was not an issue. As a young minister I fellowshipped with and preached for ministers who were against the wearing of jewelry. I did not take off my wedding ring when I got on their platforms. Later, I decided to stop wearing my wedding ring just so it wouldn't be a possible offense. I went for several months not wearing my wedding ring. I don't know if any of those ministers even noticed that I was not wearing it so I later put it back on. The only person who was offended at this was my wife and she was offended that I was not wearing my wedding ring.
