How To Keep Your Ring Looking Shiny and New For Years To Come

Some people say your engagement ring never will sparkle as much as it did the day you got it, but we want to bust that myth! With proper care and good habits, you can keep your ring shining and sparkling for a lifetime. Here are a few great tips to follow to keep your ring looking new, even after years of ownership.

Avoid lotions, creams, and soaps.

Hand products such as lotions, creams, and soaps will leave a heavy residue on your ring, making it appear less shiny. The chemicals in these products can dull the ring’s overall appearance when used often. When using any hand products such as these, be sure to take off your jewelry until your hands have absorbed the moisture and are completely dry.

Store your ring properly.

Storing your ring is more important than it might seem. Leaving this beloved piece of jewelry in a careless place may result in damage to the ring, or worse, losing it. Instead, invest in a dish or jewelry box that you will always put your ring in before bed. This should be the only place you ever put your ring when it’s not on your finger!

Get your ring cleaned professionally.

A simple mistake while using an at-home jewelry cleaner or remedy may result in damage to the shine and sparkle of your ring. Unfortunately, misusing these cleaners is more common than you might think, and it can happen to anyone. So instead, leave it to the professionals!
