Ring Maintenance 101
It's important to take good care of your engagement ring and wedding bands to keep them looking beautiful and sparkling for years to come.
To keep your engagement ring and wedding bands looking their best, you should clean them regularly. You can do this by soaking it in warm water and dish soap for a few minutes, then gently scrubbing it with a soft-bristled brush. Rinse it thoroughly and dry it with a soft cloth.
When you're not wearing your engagement ring and wedding bands, be sure to store them in a safe place. A jewelry box with soft fabric lining is ideal, or you can use a special ring dish or holder.
Avoid wearing your engagement ring when doing activities that could damage it, such as gardening, swimming, working out or cleaning. Chemicals in cleaning products or chlorine in swimming pools can damage the metal or stone, and gardening can cause dirt to become trapped in the setting.
It's a good idea to have your engagement ring inspected every six months to a year to ensure that the setting is secure and the stones are not loose. They can also clean and polish the ring to keep it looking its best. Inspecting your jewelry is always free at Continental Diamond and no appointment is necessary!
Consider getting insurance for your engagement ring in case it gets lost, stolen, or damaged.
By following these tips, you can help ensure that your engagement ring stays beautiful and sparkling for years to come.
