Choosing an engagement ring is one of those special moments with your partner that you’ll remember forever. It marks the beginning of a new chapter in your life, so you want it to remain as beautiful as the day you bought it years down the line.

No matter how much you spend on your engagement ring, each one deserves the same level of precious care and attention. Proper maintenance is an ongoing process so here are some tips on how to keep your ring in pristine condition.

Knowing What to Avoid

Some activities and substances will tarnish your engagement and cleaning tarnished jewellery can be a real nightmare.

  • Showering: The heat and moisture from hot showers can loosen the prongs that hold diamonds and other stones in place. We recommend removing your ring when showering, but if you want to keep it on, avoid getting it wet.
  • Gym: Strenuous activities like lifting weights can put pressure on your ring and cause it to loosen or bend and scratch. It’s best to take it off before engaging in these activities.
  • Hand Sanitiser and Cream: Harsh chemicals in sanitisers, creams, and cleaning products can damage the metal and dull the stone. It’s advisable to take your ring off before applying these and allow your hands to dry completely before putting it back on.
  • In the Pool: Chlorine in swimming pools can contribute to metal discolouration, while the cold temperatures cause your fingers to shrink slightly, increasing your chances of it slipping off. The only way to prevent it is to take it off before jumping in or rinse it thoroughly after your swim.

How to Store Your Engagement Ring

The wear and tear that accumulates through everyday wear will eventually take a toll. To cherish the exquisite sparkle of your engagement ring long after you’ve purchased it, the right storage solutions are key.

Ring Box or Dishes: Keeping your ring in a dedicated ring box is one of the safest storage options. These boxes are typically lined with soft material that cushions the ring and prevents it from coming into contact with hard surfaces.

Another good option is using ring dishes placed in strategic locations around your home, such as near the sink or on your bedside table.

Cleaning: Regular cleaning is essential to maintain your ring’s sparkle and brilliance. At home, you can clean your ring by soaking it in a mixture of warm water and mild dish soap for about 20-30 minutes.

After soaking, gently scrub the ring with a soft toothbrush to remove any dirt or debris, and then rinse it thoroughly with clean water. Then, gently pat it dry.
