I wear a watch and a wedding ring. I don't consider the watch jewelry, but functional. I wore a white gold wedding band for 10 years, but last year switched to a groove silicone band. I somehow stumbled upon pictures of ring avulsions, and got spooked. The groove ring has worked out nicely. Won't win any style point, though.

I don't work around machinery enough to make it really an issue.

I don't work around machinery enough to make it really an issue.Yeah, the risk is certainly low outside of certain occupational hazards. I likely would've switched back to my regular wedding band, but I also have fairly skinny fingers with bigger knuckles. My gold ring is sized to fit over the knuckle, but fits loose around my finger. This makes it more prone to snag on things, but it also just got in the way. I didn't realize how much I subconsciously compensated for it until I switched to the silicone ring. Another benefit is that my gold ring would often clack on the frets of my guitar as I played and moved up and down the fretboard. Don't have the problem with the silicone ring.

Or any other activity where you catch the ring on something...I was equally put off by necklaces made of hard to break cordage without any provisions fo safely breaking under to much load.
You're spot on. Those reasons are also why I refuse to wear Nato style watch straps. I'd much prefer the strap break than some part of me
Wearing my actual wedding band for the first time in a while.
