Do you know how to take care of that priceless engagement ring and wedding bands of yours?. That’s why proper engagement ring and wedding band care should be something you regularly prioritize.
After all, you’ve spent months, perhaps even years, finding your perfect engagement ring and wedding band. You’ll want to ensure it looks incredible for years to come.
From avoiding certain chemicals to storage ideas, here are a few dos and don’ts for taking care of your engagement ring.
Method 1 : Don’t Remove Your Ring in Public
Hand washing is a must in a public restroom, but resist the temptation to remove your engagement ring and wedding band while you’re lathering up. There are two reasons this isn’t a good idea: your rings can fall into the drain or onto the floor. You can also forget to put your rings back on after you finish washing your hands. Is too great of a risk. Soap and water won’t hurt your rings: keep it on when you wash your hands.
Method 2 : DO TAKE YOUR RING OFF FOR HANDS-ON ACTIVITIES
Protect your engagement ring by taking it off when doing activities that could damage the metal or gemstones. Working out, rock climbing, sailing, gardening, cooking, and cleaning.
It’s danger when you wear your engagement ring in the ocean or lake: the cold water shrinks your finger and your ring can slip off into the water. That’s why people lose engagement rings or wedding bands at the beach.
Although many women wear their rings when sleeping, we think it’s better to take them off every night and put them back on when you are ready for the day. Your ring can snag the threads of a blanket or sheet, pulling on and weakening the prongs.
You will probably also want to remove your ring when you’re pregnant, as it will not fit you properly. Resizing your ring to a bigger size temporarily isn’t a good idea: every time you size your ring you weaken the band a little. Wait until after your child is born to see if your ring fits comfortably again without resizing.
Have a designated place where you put your ring so you never misplace it. Ring holders in the kitchen, bathroom, and bedroom mean you never wonder where your ring is.
If you need to remove your ring on the go, slip it onto the chain of a necklace.
Method 3 : CLEAN YOUR ENGAGEMENT RING EVERY OTHER WEEK
To keep your diamonds sparkling, clean them every other week or even more often. Because you wear your engagement ring every day, it needs to be cleaned regularly. Diamonds are oleophilic: they attract oil from your skin which forms a thin film that dims their brilliance.
Cleaning your engagement ring and wedding band with random cleaners at home is something I do not recommend. taking your precious and sentimental engagement ring to an expert jeweler to get it properly steamed clean in a large ultrasonic would be my recommendation.
Method 4 : AVOID EXPOSING YOUR RING TO CHEMICALS
Chemicals like bleach can discolor precious metals and abrasives like toothpaste, cleanser and baking soda can scratch softer stones and metals. Remove your jewelry before handling any chemicals.
Chlorine in pools and hot tubs can be especially dangerous for your jewelry. Chlorine dissolves metal. If you always wear jewelry in the pool it will gradually wear away.
Lotions like moisturizer, sunscreen, foundation, hair gel, and perfume are chemicals too. Lotions leave residue on your rings that can be difficult to clean and can gradually erode the metal of settings. Lotions can permanently damage porous gems like pearls, turquoise, and coral. Never wear jewelry when applying perfume, lotion, or hairspray.
Never clean your jewelry with bleach, abrasives, baking soda, or toothpaste.
Method 5 : STORE YOUR JEWELRY SEPARATELY
A diamond is one of the world’s hardest natural materials, but that doesn’t mean a cut and polished diamond cannot chip. Sometimes the table of a cut diamond can be susceptible to wear and tear. Be sure not to knock it against other hard materials.
For longer term storage, put your ring in a fabric pouch or separate compartment in a jewelry box. One of the most common ways jewelry is damaged is being scratched by other jewelry. Due to their natural hardness, diamonds can damage other gemstones, metals, and even other diamonds.
