I would think so. Gandalf could have merely kept it about his person until he felt he needed to use it. Wearing it continuously would have been quite reckless, and probably unnecessary. I do find it interesting to think how it must have aided him over the years. Thorin Oakenshield, for one, might have been harder to convince, without it.
Elrond and Galadriel, confining themselves to relatively secure environments, would have really had no need to be as secretive.
