How to Care for Your Engagement Ring

Your handsome fiance has officially popped the question, and now you have a sparkling rock on your finger, what do you do now? There are a few steps you'll want to take initially, and then a few regular appointments you need to schedule to keep your ring in pristine condition. Here are a few tips to help make it easier for you!

Get Insurance

While this many not be high on your priority list, it needs to be. You can get insurance through your homeowners or renters insurance, and it has to be filed through the bride's name since she'll be wearing it. It's not hard to do if you already have renters insurance and if you don't currently have it, it's always a good idea to have it.

Keep It Clean

Apparently Elizabeth Taylor told Lucie Arnez (Lucille Ball's daughter) to clean her ring with toothpaste because it really made it shine when she first got engaged. While we don't recommend testing out home cleaning methods on your diamonds, we do suggest that you have them cleaned on a regular basis to improve their sparkle! You'll have many people wanting to admire and examine your ring, keep it clean so it's always looking it's best!

Don't Take It Off in Public

While you may be wary of washing your hands with your ring on, there is always a chance you could accidentally forget it somewhere. So instead of setting it on the counter, opt for keeping it on your finger where it's safe. If your ring is loose, and you're afraid it will go down a drain, you can always get a ring sizer to help make up for the difference before you get it permanently adjusted.

Schedule Routine Maintenance

While it's always important to keep up routine maintenance, if you have any type of warranty on the ring through your dealer, it might be required. Some companies require that you get the prongs tested every six months to make sure the diamond is always safe and that you won't be at risk of losing it. Just be sure to check with your jeweler and see if they have these rules so you can operate within them.

Beware of Chemicals and Wear & Tear

If you'll be working with harsh chemicals it's always a good idea to put your ring in a safe place until afterwards. Same goes for any extreme wear and tear if you'll be working with any equipment or materials that could be damaging to the diamond or the finish on your ring. While diamonds are extremely hard, they aren't without weakness. Take care of your rock, and be careful not to hit it on hard surfaces.
