Our rule of thumb to cleaning your jewelry is once a week minimum. Especially for any daily wear jewelry, once-a-day is recommended to keep your ring clean and heirloom quality for the long haul.
If you have beautiful diamond rings, it's better to keep up the good habit since diamonds can absorb oil and won't sparkle as much without upkeep.
Two minutes, once a day is all it takes
Using our simple Jewelry care set, you can clean rings daily, for 2 minutes while you brush your teeth, then towel them dry with a soft cleaning cloth.
Be wary of some normal cleaning products as they may be too abrasive and may scratch and affect the gold and diamond jewelry.
