You love your rings and wear them daily. You enjoy its sparkle as it adds joy to life’s moments, witnessing each emotion and every chapter of your journey. But several practices can decrease their lifespan. How to maintain your rings looking like new is what we are going to bring up to your attention.
Avoid Heavy Gym Workouts
Activities such as heavy lifting, gripping exercise equipment, or strenuous exercise may put pressure on your ring. This might cause your ring to bow, loosen, or damage the surface. Removing your ring before weight training or exercise sessions is advisable.
Rings Should be Kept Away from Hard Surfaces
Accidental collisions against tables, countertops, or metal surfaces could potentially scratch the surfaces or create dents. Even the toughest metals would not be resistant to constant collisions.
Do Not Use Harsh Soaps or Chemicals
Soaps, detergents, and sanitizers may remove the finish of the metal and leave a dull residue. With time, the chemicals might ruin the precious metal as well as the stones.
Avoid Build Up from Lotion and Moisturizer
The hand creams, lotions, or oils can build up beneath the stones, so that the ring has a cloudy appearance that results in a lack of sparkle.
Be Cautious with Hand Washing in Public
Removing your ring in public restrooms or shared sinks increases the risk of forgetting it or accidentally dropping it down the drain. If possible, keep your ring on and wash gently, use a hand sanitizer or wait until you are in a safe place at home.
What You Can Do Differently
A bit of regular maintenance is what is required to ensure that your ring retains beauty.
Schedule Regular Professional Inspection
Have your ring checked at your jeweler on a regular basis. Getting your ring checked will help you guarantee that your precious stones are set securely. Professional cleaning and rhodium plating of your white gold ring will also help your ring shine and look bright.
Clean Your Ring at Home the Right Way
Use a soft toothbrush, warm water, and a mild dish soap. Clean the area gently around the setting and the band, then rinse well and pat dry with a clean, soft cloth.
Store Your Ring Securely
When you take it off, put your ring inside a jewelry box or pouch to protect it from scratches, as well as prevent it from going missing.
Wear With Intent
Your ring is designed to sparkle in every way, but knowing when to take it off is also part of taking care of it. Small steps will help preserve its meaning and value for years to come.
