How to Clean Your Diamond Engagement Ring

In addition to the fact that an engagement ring is a symbol of an exciting event in your life and a daily reminder of love, for most brides it is also one of the first, valuable jewelry. How to keep your jewelry shiny and stunningly beautiful for years to come-read today's collection of tips for care!

  

  Wash your hands, but not the ring. 

    When taking a relaxing bath with a fragrant foam or just washing your hands, be sure to remove the decoration, as the soap makes the natural luster of gold and platinum fade in a matter of minutes. It is especially important to remove the diamond engagement ring so that you do not lose it when you take a shower, swim in the pool or visit the sauna. It is much better to store your favorite jewelry on a special holder or ring stand in a safe and dry place than to constantly worry that it will accidentally slip off your hand in the water!

    Keep your engagement ring separate from other jewelry. 

    When storing all the jewelry in one box, there is a great risk that they will scratch against each other, and small chips will form on the surface of the stones. The best way to store an engagement ring is in a special box or velvet bag. 

    You can also prevent scratches by wrapping jewelry in a soft storage cloth.

    Protect the decoration from cleaning agents. 

    Yes, your house should shine with cleanliness, but this does not mean that all the work should be done with a cherished ring on your hand. When using detergents, especially those containing chlorine and other aggressive substances, be sure to put the decoration aside — even if you are cleaning with gloves!

    Protect the stones!

    Protect from damage and contamination is necessary not only the precious metal from which the engagement ring is made, but also the stones. In order for the truth that "diamonds are eternal" to turn out to be true, it is necessary to remove the ring before performing heavy physical work and visiting the gym, as well as store it in a place protected from moisture and direct sunlight. If your jewelry is decorated with pearls, turquoise or other semiprecious stones, make sure that they do not get not only soap foam, but also perfumes or cosmetics.

    Do not forget about the daily care of the decoration. 

    When removing the engagement ring, do not be lazy to wipe it every evening with a soft, lint-free cloth made of natural material. This will help protect the decoration from color changes or spots. 

    And, of course, do not forget to visit the jeweler at least once a year. 

    The master can check the condition of the stone and frame, as well as clean the decoration with a special solution or polish it.
