couple rings Care
Even the most durable of our jewelry can still be damaged. Rings can be damaged from physical force or scratches, water contact, cleaning solutions and more.
No matter how sturdy jewelry for couples may be, it must be removed at least periodically for certain activities. It should also occasionally cleaned. You can maintain the beauty of your ring for years with a few simple precautions.
Jewelry can be damaged in many ways. It may crack, break, crack, scratch, or even shattered. Jewelry that is hard to scratch may be more susceptible to breaking when subjected significant pressure. In an emergency, a ring may need to be cut off or cracked depending on the materials.
Care for rings varies depending on what type of ring it is, the material that it’s made of and whether or not it has a diamond inlay. You can find tips about rings according to the materials they are made from. You should pay special attention to the softest, most fragile part of your ring. Usually, the inlay is made of gemstones or a metal.
Carbon Fiber
100% Carbon Fiber has a lightweight but strong structure. These rings will last in the majority of situations. However, heavy lifting or yard work could cause damage to the rings. Remove it for heavy work such as yard work or lifting heavy objects. There is no need for special cleaning; just a small amount of dish soap, and a soft microfiber cloth will suffice.
Ceramic
White ceramic is a strong material that does not scratch. Ceramic rings will break if they are hit with sharp objects or force. It is very easy to clean: just remove them and clean them with a gentle soap and soft cloth. If you have any grooves, or features with texture, a soft bristled toothbrush is the best tool to use.
Cobalt
If necessary, clean cobalt jewelry using a soft cloth with gentle soap. If needed, ultrasonics cleaners, jewelry cleansing solution, or soft brush bristles can be utilized. Cobalt can be scratched, but is not scratch-proof. It will not break or crack. However, it can be cut to size in an emergency.
Diamonds
Carefully avoid catching diamonds by clothing, sheets, or sharp items. Diamond jewelry can be cleaned with jewelry cleaning solutions or warm soapy water. Ultrasonic jewelers cleaners can be safe, as long as the stones themselves are not loose or damaged. Soft brushes and microfiber cloths are great for removing dirt from diamond ring.
Gemstones
Avoid anything that could damage the gemstones in your ring. Some gemstones can be softer and require a more gentle approach than diamonds. You should avoid snagging your gemstones when using sharp or small objects, or even with the fibers of clothing, bed linen, towels etc. When necessary, clean gemstones with jewelry cleaning solutions that are labeled “safe” for them. You should avoid using ultrasonic cleaners on most gemstones and other semi-precious materials, including amber, morganite, morganite, mother of Pearl, shells, and abalone.
Gold
Gold is a very soft metal. Gold can be scratched or dented. With a soft towel and mild soap, gently clean the item. When needed, you can use jewelry cleaning solutions, ultrasonics cleaners, soft bristle brushes, and/or jewelry cleaning solutions.
Inlays
All inlay bands are made up of at least two materials and have some form of connection or seam between ring and inlay. Avoid rough activities that can separate two materials. Care instructions vary according to the inlay type and protective coating.
Exposed Inlays
Some inlays require special care. Exposed inlays can include:
Antler
Lava rock
Goldstone
Opal
Lapis lazuli
Wood (uncoated).
Other stone inlays
Avoid the following for rings with exposed ring inlays
Water exposure (handwashing, bathing, dishwashing, etc.
Hand sanitizer
Exposure To Cleaning Products
The physical demands of the job, such lifting weights or moving heavy boxes and furniture.
Sudden force such as dropping or hitting a ring
Ultrasonic jewelry cleaners
Other inlays
Rings with inlays made of durable materials include:
Cables & Ropes
Carbon fiber
Gold
Silver
Synthetic materials
Wood with resin-coating
Avoid these rings:
Prolonged water exposure
Exposure of harsh cleaning products
Activities and surfaces that may scratch the inlay coating
The physical demands of the job, such lifting heavy weights and moving boxes or furniture.
Sudden force such as ring dropping or being hit
You should not use an ultrasonic jewelry cleaner as it could cause damage to the coating.
Platinum
The platinum is a softer material that can be dented and scratched. If you’re doing heavy work like weightlifting and other such activities, remove your platinum rings. Avoid harsh chemical cleaners like bleach. If you want to clean your jewelry, use soap and a mild jewelry cleaner.
Palladium
Platinum is scratchable. Avoid harsh chemical cleaners like bleach. If you need to clean jewelry on a regular basis, try a gentle jewelry polish made for Palladium. Ultrasonic cleaners work well for rings made of palladium with grooves and textured accents.
Silver
Silver rings should not be worn when doing activities that may cause them to be damaged by chemicals or physical force. Silver generally requires more cleaning and care. Avoid wearing any silver jewelry when you are showering, cleaning with hand sanitizer or applying beauty creams, cooking, cleaning, or exercising. If needed, clean your silver jewelry using a cleaning solution. Storage is important; you might consider using a solution designed specifically for silver jewellery.
Tungsten
Tungsten can be used for a long time without needing any maintenance. The material is scratch resistant, but it’s not scratchproof. Tungsten can break or crack if it’s dropped, hit or exposed. You can clean with a gentle cloth (microfiber or similar) and soap. Use a jewelry cleaner and/or a brush with soft bristles if you need to. Ultrasonic jewelry cleaning is safe for rings made of tungsten.
Titanium
Titanium metal is hard, durable, and easy to look after. No special maintenance is required. Titanium cannot crack or shatter, but the metal can be cut. To clean titanium rings, use a gentle soap on a soft towel. When needed, you can use jewelry cleaning solutions and/or a brush with soft bristles. You can also use ultrasonic cleansers.
Wood
A wood piece that is not protected with jewelry resin is unique and beautiful. However, it is also vulnerable. Generally, if you are using caution and common sense to keep your wood jewelry in top condition, it is best to err on the side that is more conservative. Avoid submerging wood rings for extended periods in water. Remove them for handwashing, showering and bathing. Abrasive substances will damage wood. Expose wood to products such as cleaning chemicals, bleach for swimming pools, hand sanitizers etc. Wear the ring to avoid heavy lifting and other activities that may expose it forcefully. Care products are available for wood jewelry. If you require recommendations, please contact us.
