As your trusted jeweller, we understand the importance of preserving the beauty and sparkle of your engagement ring for a lifetime. That’s why we’ve compiled this guide on how to look after your engagement ring, including cleaning tips and storage recommendations. And remember, if you’re ever unsure about the care of your jewellery, we’re more than happy to help.
Regular Cleaning
In order to maintain its sparkle, clean it regularly using a gentle solution of warm water and mild dish soap. Soak the ring for about 20 minutes, then gently brush it with a soft-bristled toothbrush, paying special attention to the gemstones and setting. Rinse thoroughly and pat dry with a soft, lint-free cloth.
Professional Cleaning
For best results on how to look after your engagement ring, we recommend bringing it to us for professional cleaning and inspection at least once or twice a year. Our expert jewellers will not only clean your ring thoroughly but also inspect it for any signs of wear or damage that may require attention.
Avoid Harsh Chemicals
Remove your ring when using household cleaners, as harsh chemicals can damage your ring’s metal and gemstones. Also, avoid wearing your ring while swimming in chlorinated pools or hot tubs.
Proper Storage
When not wearing your engagement ring, store it in a soft-lined jewellery box or pouch, separate from other pieces to prevent scratches or damage. If you’re storing multiple rings, it’s best to store them individually to avoid any contact that could lead to scratches.
Remove During Strenuous Activities
Take off your ring during activities that could potentially damage it, such as gardening, exercise, or sports. This helps protect your ring from potential knocks, abrasions, or exposure to dirt and grime.
Inspect the Ring Regularly
Inspect your engagement ring for any signs of damage or wear, such as loose stones or bent prongs. If you notice anything concerning, bring it to us for a professional assessment and necessary repairs.
Insurance and Appraisals
Consider insuring your engagement ring to protect your investment. We can provide appraisals for insurance purposes, ensuring your ring’s value is accurately documented.
