How To Care For Your Engagement Ring

How To Care For Your Engagement Ring
Author:

Your engagement ring is designed to last a lifetime, but regular inspections are essential to ensure its beauty and security keep pace with everyday wear. After months (or years) of dreaming and designing the perfect ring, you get to wear it proudly each day as a symbol of your everlasting love. Now what? How do you maintain the sparkle and shine of your ring? These tips will align with traditional methods of caring for an unenhanced diamond ring.

First and foremost, you can always bring your ring in for a spa treatment at your local jeweler. They should be checking your prongs (that’s what holds the diamonds in place) to make sure they are snug and secure. Then they will put your ring(s) in an ultrasonic cleaner to clear away the accumulation of everyday gunk (lotion, hand sanitizer, etc.). Finally, they will steam it dry. That’s going to be the most brilliant shine achievable- they are professionals, it’s what they do. At a minimum, you want to have someone check your ring(s) 2 times a year. However, the more frequent the visit, the better. This way, loose stones can be identified and tightened before becoming misplaced. The jeweler can also ensure the sizing and fitting of your ring(s) is appropriate. An annual professional inspection and cleaning is recommended for the proper maintenance of your ring.


It is recommended that you take off your rings and keep them somewhere safe when you participate in activities such as swimming, sweating, working out, showering, and sleeping. If you choose to wear your rings during these activities, make sure to have them checked regularly (minimum of 2 times per year) by jewelry professionals. 


A simple and safe way to keep your diamonds shining at home is to put a couple of drops of mild soap in a bowl of warm water. You can drop the ring into the bowl of water and leave it for a couple of minutes to soak. When you are ready, remove the ring from the bowl and scrub it with a clean, soft-bristle toothbrush. Once the gunk and grime on your diamond are gone, you are done. Rise with clean water and wear with pride!

Remember, here at Conti Jewelers, we offer complimentary cleans and checks to ensure that your ring is in perfect condition at all times. Our on-site jeweler is here daily to help maintain your ring and the rest of your jewelry collection.
