Yes indeed! When I got married, my wife picked these really nice gold and diamond rings. Well, I worked at a job (electrical) that also included some fairly heavy work. So I would leave my ring at home, which drove her crazy. I was afraid I'd lose it if I was taking it off at work, besides the fact it was a nice conductor or could have been mis-shaped by the lifting I was doing. I bought 2 cheap silver bands that I wear (one is a spare). That way; I'm wearing my wedding band, can take it off when needed, and if I lose it, no big deal. One of my better compromises to keep the peace.
As a jeweler, two times I have seen hands long after the ring on them had become an electrical conductor. Take it from me, when rings are melted by electricity, the scarring is wicked!
Any rings come off whenever I am working with heavy tools, power equipment, or electricity. By the way silver is an awesome electrical conductor too, and sterling is lots softer than 14K so more likely to become seriously distorted by heavy stresses, like lifting.
Just a friendly observation.
