Well now what? The moment has come and gone, the shock has worn off, and now you’re taking in the very real moment that you’ve got a very expensive symbol of your love on your finger.
Keep reading to find out how you can take care of your beautiful new ring, and keep the symbol of your love shining bright forever!
Maintenance Matters!
You wouldn’t wear a t-shirt everyday for the rest of your life without washing it, would you? Think of your ring as the same!
While it doesn’t need to be washed every day, or even every week, make a game plan to bring your beautiful ring to your Forever Jeweler (that’s us) periodically so they can give it that brand new shine, and make sure the stones are seated properly! it always deserves to look its best!
Think of your car. You wouldn’t drive your car for 5, 10, or even 15+ years without changing the tires out or getting the oil changed. Ring maintenance matters over the years!
Clean It Once (or Twice)
While you don’t need to bring your engagement ring in for maintenance on the daily, or even on the weekly, you can still keep it clean and shiny yourself with some simple at home goods!
Don’t go too crazy, just a simple bath in some warm water and mild dishwasher soap, while scrubbing with a soft toothbrush can keep the perfect ring looking perfect as your day to day life carries on.
Consider the OTHER Ring
Today, many couples are opting for a “Backup Ring” that means less to them, both financially and emotionally.
Maybe something smaller and simpler for those crazy outdoor activities where one could bang their diamond around.
A backup ring doesn’t have to be a compromise of bling or shine, but might be something to consider if you’re the outdoorsy type. Keeping your diamond out of harm's way is underrated…till it’s too late!
(Ring) Size DOES Matter
Proper ring sizing is SO IMPORTANT we can’t say it enough!
Your new engagement ring should be held tight on your ring finger without twisting around or flying off as the hands move.
Additionally, at the end of the night, the ring should be loose enough that it slips off the finger without issue.
Finding the right ring size is VITAL to keeping your engagement ring protected and secure through your day to day lives.
If the ring isn’t fitting right after the proposal, we really recommend you stop by your Forever Jeweler (Us once again) so they can assist you in getting the size right.
The proposal, the engagement, and the wedding, Those are the days we dream of as kids. Not many people dream about their marriage many years in, but those years are when your ring is most susceptible to damage or loss of stones.
This ring is a symbol of your love, so it’s important to perform the necessary maintenance required to keep it shining for years to come!
