Looking After Your Wedding Ring

Wedding rings though usually made of practically indestructible metals, still need some care and looking after. Many, especially the simple wedding rings are practically maintenance free and easy to clean. Home cleaning is not difficult but it is important to keep in mind a few facts. Harsh chemicals must never ever be used, as they can react with some metals and stones, in addition can be corrosive. A good home cleaning solution for wedding rings is a mild, warm soapy solution. Wedding rings, including those encrusted with diamonds, can be soaked in this solution for about thirty minutes and rinsed with clean cold water and patted dry. The soapy water will get rid of oils and grit, leaving it shining clean. If the wedding ring has pavé diamonds, it is important not to brush or scrub the wedding ring as the pavé diamonds can get loose.

Cleaning All Metal Wedding Rings

All metal wedding rings without stones can also be cleaned at home using a 50-50 solution of ammonia, made in cold water. The wedding rings must be soaked for about twenty to thirty minutes, then washed with clean water and patted dry. This will remove all oil and grit and bring out its brilliance and soft sheen. If the ring has intricate work, it can be gently brushed with a soft cloth or soft brush. Be careful not to scratch the metal with harsh brushes.

Professional Cleaning Of Wedding Rings

Wedding rings can be professionally cleaned by jewellers, using ultrasonic machines or other professional methods. Ultrasonic machines can sometimes loosen the stones, therefore needs to be done by a reputable jeweller. It is advisable to clean all wedding rings professionally once a year, especially those with stones or very intricate work. When wedding rings are professionally cleaned, the jeweller will inspect it for damages, especially loose stones and take the necessary preventive action before it falls off.
