Engagement Ring and Wedding Band Care Guide

For over 30 years, the knowledgeable staff at GMG Jewellers has strived to be Saskatoon's diamond bridal specialists. We make every effort to continually keep our customers informed on how to keep their fine jewellery looking brilliant for a lifetime.

With that in mind, our bridal specialists have put together this simple guide on how to keep your engagement rings and wedding bands clean, shiny, and secure.

Tip #1: Keep Your Ring Clean

Seeing as how your everyday routine will inevitably cause dirt and oils to accumulate in the prongs of your engagement ring and wedding band, we recommend you find a regular cleaning routine for your jewellery to prevent the damage this grime can cause.

The best recommendation the bridal specialists at GMG Jewellers make is to schedule regular appointments with a specialist, but in between these visits easy at-home cleaning can be just as effective.

One way to keep your pieces clean is to soak your bridal rings in a few drops of dish soap and warm water. After a few minutes, take out each ring and rub the loose dirt and grime away with your fingers, a soft rag, or a gentle bristle.

Our experts add that you should take precautions about where you clean your wedding rings. When cleaning them over the sink, make sure to cover the drain to avoid losing your engagement ring or wedding band!

Tip #2: Remove Your Ring

In those first few years of a marriage, it may be difficult want to take off your bridal rings, but there are some instances when taking them off is definitely the best way to take care of your rings.

Physical activities are one occasion where your rings should be taken off. Physical activities can sometimes hurt the integrity of your rings, or can cause injury other participants during the activity. Furthermore, many household chores can also harm your rings by scuffing, scratching, and weakening their prongs, engraving, and details. Try to remove your ring when washing dishes, gardening, or cleaning your home with harsh chemicals.

Tip #3: Bring Your Rings to GMG Jewellers for Regular Check-Ups!

Just like your own regular health screenings, your wedding bands and engagement rings require regular inspections to make sure every part of them is up-to-snuff.
