All Bling, No Rings

I've been making a lot of sparklies lately. Something about crystals just seem to attract me more and more these days. One set, in particular, I am still ga-ga over. I call it "More is Better," and it includes the earrings (pictured above), a bracelet loaded with Venetian glass beads, and a 40 inch necklace combining chain, wire, and yes, lots and lots of beads.
So, because I tend to spend way more time writing about jewelry than making it these days, I was very jazzed when I finally completed the set, and I decided to wear it all to school one day - Miss Teacher Bling. As usual, I was running around like a nut in the morning trying to make my 8am class (yes, ugh!), and as was I'm driving into work, all sparklicious, I glanced down at my hands on the steering wheel and realized my fingers were practically naked!
Here I have all this bling going on and no rings, or at least, just one of my wedding bands with channel cut rubies, but nothing else! Dang it!
I tend to not wear my rings unless I "go out" because my hands are always either typing or wrapping wire, so it's more comfortable to go a la natural. Am I alone with this issue? How many times have you gone ring-less?
