Caring for your engagement ring before and after your wedding is incredibly important! Many of us go through our days, so busy, that we forget about basic ring maintenance. We get it! You have a lot on your plate. But, at Jensen Jewelers, we want to make sure that your ring is shining for years to come. Don’t let the sparkle disappear after your wedding day. We put together this little guide on how to take care of your rings.
Don’t Forget to Remove Your Ring
We know you hate to part with your beautiful ring, but there are certain times and activities that you should actually take your ring off. By removing your ring at these times you risk tarnishing and extra wear. See our tips below to ensure that your ring is properly cared for.
You should take off your wedding ring when…
Applying make-up and lotions Excess lotions and make-up can actually dull the look of your stones. Be sure to keep your ring clean and remove your ring before applying these things.
Using cleaning chemicals When you’re cleaning your house be sure that you remove your ring. These chemicals are rough on both the metals and the stones of your ring.
Swimming Remove your ring before entering a chlorine pool or when swimming outdoors. Chemicals are hard on your ring. Additionally, your hands change sizes when you’re immersed in water and you risk losing it!
