To keep jewelry looking beautiful for as long as possible, it should be properly cared for. Even the hardest metals and gemstones should be protected from mechanical and chemical damage. From time to time, appropriate cleaning is also necessary.
How to care for a ring? Here are a few tips that may help you:
1) Avoid contact with chemicals.
Gold and many colored gemstones can be susceptible to damage from
contact with chemicals. Therefore, avoid wearing the ring
while using household cleaning products, cosmetics, perfumes, and also
while gardening or using a pool.
2) Avoid impacts and scratches.
Colored gemstones can be delicate and prone to scratches or
mechanical damage. Therefore, avoid wearing the ring while doing
household chores, such as cleaning, where it may be exposed to impacts.
3) Store it properly.
When you are not wearing the ring, store it in a special jewelry box,
separating it from other items to avoid scratches. You may also
consider lining the box with soft material.
4) Remember to clean it regularly.
To maintain the shine and cleanliness of the ring, it should be cleaned regularly. The easiest way
to clean the ring is to soak it in a bowl of warm, but not hot water, with
the addition of a mild detergent – for example, soap or dishwashing liquid, and leave it
for about 15-20 minutes. Use a soft-bristled brush (a toothbrush can work) to clean the stones, especially from the bottom, the inner side,
as this is where the most dirt accumulates. The ring should be
rinsed under clean water and dried with a soft cloth. It is recommended to occasionally
visit a jeweler's workshop, where a jeweler can perform professional
cleaning in an ultrasonic cleaner.
*We recommend considering purchasing your own ultrasonic cleaner, in which
you can clean not only jewelry but also many other items.
