Caring for Your Engagement Rings and Wedding Bands
Your engagement ring and wedding band are not just jewelry—they are symbols of love, commitment, and moments that define your story. With thoughtful care, these pieces can can be worn often, cherished well, and remain strong.
Everyday Care
-
Remove Rings During Certain Activities – To preserve their beauty and structural integrity, remove your rings when engaging in activities that could cause damage, such as cleaning, gardening, heavy lifting, or rigorous exercise. This helps prevent scratches, bending, or loosening of gemstones.
-
Avoid Harsh Chemicals – Substances like chlorine, household cleaners, and even some beauty products can compromise both metals and gemstones. Always remove your rings before swimming, cleaning, or applying lotions and perfumes.
-
Store Thoughtfully – When not worn, store your rings in a soft pouch or a dedicated compartment in a jewelry box. Proper storage protects against scratches and preserves their lustrous finish.
Cleaning Your Jewelry
-
At-Home Care: Gently soak your rings in warm water with mild soap and carefully brush with a soft, non-abrasive brush. Rinse thoroughly and pat dry with a soft, lint-free cloth.
-
Professional Care: Schedule professional cleanings and inspections at least once a year. This ensures prongs remain secure, gemstones stay properly set, and your rings maintain their brilliance.
What to Avoid
-
Manual Labor and High-Impact Activities: Wearing rings during strenuous work or high-impact activities can bend metals or loosen gemstones.
-
Extreme Temperatures: Sudden changes in temperature can affect certain gemstones and compromise the integrity of the metal.
With attentive care and mindful handling, your engagement ring and wedding bands are ready for a lifetime of love and wear.
