Since an engagement ring is the most expensive piece of jewellery you’ll ever own, it’s important to keep it safe and protected. The wedding bands and engagement rings are one of the most easily distorted properties due to constant exposure to external environment. The engagement ring is one of the most things in your wedding jewellery collection and demands a special care and timely renewal. To help you take good care of your wedding band, we have curated a list of dos and donts.
Let’s get started!
Get an Insurance:
The engagement ring is a lifelong asset and certainly needs an insurance because of the sentimental and monetary value attached to it. Also, get your ring appraised after every 5 years because the cost of diamond/precious stones goes up. If you were to lose your ring which was appraised 10 years ago, the insured value would be far less than its actual price. Therefore, get an insurance for your rock immediately.
Clean your Ring:

To keep your ring sparkling like ever, it’s very important to clean it regularly, remove the skin oils, lotion stains and everyday accumulated dirt. Engagement rings can be easily cleaned at home. All you need is a mild dishwashing solution. Soak the ring in the mixture of lukewarm water and dishwashing solution, leave for few minutes, rinse and pat dry.
A regular visit to a jewellery expert:
It is recommended to pay a regular visit to a jewellery expert in order to get your wedding band repaired in case of any dislodged stone or metal. It’s as important as paying a regular visit to your dentist. After all, your engagement ring is one of the most prized possession of every woman.
Keep it away from chemicals:
Your engagement ring can easily react with the chemicals which can lead to dullness and abrasive surface. Don’t let the harsh chemicals take a toll on your engagement ring. Keep it away from chemicals, perfumes and your skincare/makeup products. Keep your ring aside while washing utensils, otherwise it may lose its shining lustre.
Keep it away from water:
Engagement rings are easily affected by water. Water can affect the lustre of the stone as well as the metal. Also, never ever take your engagement ring for a swim for it might get knocked off your ring in the middle of the water body. You don’t want that, right? Therefore, just be extra careful.
Store it safely:
