Looking After Your Gold Engagement Rings
Engagement rings signify the love between two people, and if you’re the lucky owner of one then you’ll want to keep it looking pristine for a lifetime. Although gold is often passed down between generations you still need to take care of it if you want it to retain its lustre and beauty, and if you do you can be sure your gold engagement rings will look as good in 50 years time as they do right now.
The first thing you need to remember is storage. You’ll probably be wearing your ring most of the time but when you’re not it’s a good idea to keep it in a box lined with velvet, satin or other soft materials. Keeping it in the box it was given to you in would be ideal, and don’t let it live in pouches with other pieces of jewellery – this can cause it to become damaged or scratched.
There could also come a time when you need to clean it, and this shouldn’t be too much of a problem either. There are plenty of gold cleaning solutions out there, or you can use a home-made remedy of warm water and a few drops of washing up liquid or club soda. Simply let your ring soak for a few minutes before gently cleaning it and using a soft cloth to buff it up afterwards, and if it’s become tarnished use a very soft toothbrush for slightly more abrasive cleaning.
So, looking after your gold engagement rings shouldn’t be difficult, and if you store it safely and clean it gently you can enjoy your precious jewellery for years to come.
