Ring Care
Ring Care
Your ring can become part of some of life's most meaningful moments, so proper care helps preserve its beauty and condition over time. Whether you wear an engagement ring, wedding band, eternity ring, or everyday fine jewelry, these ring care guidelines can help you keep your piece looking its best.
Clean Your Ring Regularly
Everyday wear can cause oils, lotions, dust, and other residues to build up on your ring. For routine cleaning, gently wash your ring with lukewarm water and a small amount of mild soap.
Use a soft, clean brush to carefully reach areas around the setting, then rinse thoroughly and dry with a soft, lint-free cloth.
Avoid Harsh Chemicals
Remove your ring before using household cleaning products, bleach, chlorine, or other harsh chemicals. Certain chemicals can affect metals, finishes, or gemstones.
Perfumes, lotions, cosmetics, and other personal-care products can also contribute to buildup, so allowing them to dry before putting on your ring can help keep your jewelry cleaner.
Protect Your Ring During Activities
Remove your ring before activities that could expose it to impact, excessive friction, chemicals, or unnecessary stress.
Consider taking off your ring before:
Exercising or playing sports
Swimming
Cleaning
Gardening
Working with tools
Handling harsh chemicals
Performing activities that may cause impact or abrasion
Take Care of Your Diamond
Diamonds are highly durable, but they can still be affected by strong impact or damage to the surrounding setting.
Avoid hitting your ring against hard surfaces and regularly check the setting for any visible changes, loose stones, or damaged prongs.
Check the Setting
The setting holds your diamond or gemstones securely in place. Periodically inspect your ring to make sure the stones appear secure and the prongs or other setting elements show no obvious signs of damage.
If you notice a loose stone, damaged prong, or unusual movement, stop wearing the ring and seek professional assistance.
Store Your Ring Safely
When you're not wearing your ring, store it in a clean, dry jewelry box or soft jewelry pouch. Keeping individual pieces separated can help reduce scratches caused by contact between jewelry.
Avoid leaving fine jewelry in areas with excessive moisture or temperature changes.
Be Mindful of Ring Size
Finger size can naturally change throughout the day and with changes in temperature. If your ring suddenly feels unusually tight or loose, avoid forcing it on or off.
If you have ongoing concerns about the fit, contact a professional jeweler for assistance.
Professional Inspection & Maintenance
Regular professional inspection can help identify potential issues before they become more serious. A jeweler can check the setting, prongs, stones, and overall condition of your ring.
For valuable or frequently worn jewelry, periodic professional cleaning and inspection can be a useful part of long-term care.
