Pointer #1: Avoid grabbing the ring from the top or the center stone when removing it. Contaminants from your fingers as well as repeated pressure over time can slowly loosen the center stone. Instead, pull from the side of the ring and gently wiggle it off.

Pointer #2: Avoid heavy lifting when wearing your ring. Specifically when traveling, loading overhead bins on planes are common culprits of bent rings.

Pointer #3: Don’t store your ring in a container with other jewelry. Mixing jewelry in the same container can be abrasive to the metal as they move around and scratch each other. Consider a jewelry organizer or box to carefully store your ring and other jewelry.

Pointer #4: Do not sleep with your ring. Especially applicable to thin bands (2.0mm or thinner), pressure from sleeping on your ring could potentially bend it. Try getting into the habit of taking your ring off and storing it in the same place each night.

Pointer #5: It is very common to damage your ring while exercising or doing sports. Additionally, the extra activity could cause it to loosen and fall off. The acidity from your sweat could also be corrosive to the metal over time.

Pointer #6: Showering, swimming, or hand washing may not damage your ring, but the contaminants can make the ring dirty. Chlorine, soap scum, shampoo are all things that can stick to and clog up your ring and hide its sparkle. Prongs can also snag on hair or towels and is something to also be cautious of.

When I got my new rings, I also had made an excellent set of dupes with inexpensive (relatively) lab grown stones. If I’m traveling or doing something that might damage the real rings, I wear the dupes. No one has ever noticed the difference. My stylist told me this secret. She never wears her real rings working in the salon where they would be exposed to chemicals and pressure.

I did take off my diamond ring every time I washed my hands, showered, slepted you name it and guess what. I lost it!!! So wear the damn ring all the time! That's why we buy pure gold and diamonds to handle the wear of everyday! Now I ride horses with my ring and it's perfect.

I have had my 1 carat diamond solitaire for 25 years. I'm 49 years old now. I feel like it really defines me.

I feel like if you take your jewelry off the moment you get home, then you are only wearing it to show off to others. I wear my jewelry all the time even when I am home alone. I like to enjoy it for myself, not just for others or special occasions. I wear gloves when working outside, painting, etc. The store where my ring came from will reapply the rhodium any time for free, end it only takes a few minutes.

Love ur suggestions! But I’ve had bad experiences of having all my jewelry stolen when my house got broken into. (Insurance don’t pay for jewelry much). Since then, I always wear my ring regardless what I’m doing because I feel that the safest place for my ring is on my finger. I don’t want to take it off and hide it somewhere when I am carry Ming heavy stuff or cleaning my hands, cause I know there will be a chance of misplacing it the sec I take it off.

If I bend or hurt my ring, I can always get it fix. Just cross my finger and hope That the diamond won’t just fall off😬

I appreciate all these tips. The first one is so simple yet so life changing if you really think about it. My engagement ring is definitely not the most expensive but I would do everything to take care of it to show appreciation to my fiancé. Thank you so much for the tips, Bonnie. :)

It turns out that we are buying diamonds that "are forever" just to put them in a setting that can't handle blankets during our sleep... :)

[WaterBottleBlues]

What about hand sanitizer, I use that often. Can that damage the metal or stones over time? Thank you.

[cleolopez]

Due to me having a center stone that's on the softer side, I've made it a point to follow all if these tips for my rings. Great video Bonnie. 🙂

[jessicathomas]

Thank you so much for this video. I just got engaged last weekend so I’m happy to hear I’m doing the right things with my new gorgeous ring!

So we spend a lot money on the Diamond ring and we worry about mess it up and don’t wear it often . So why we have to spend a lot money for the ring that we can’t wear all the time . I will tell my husband sale my Diamond ring use the money pay off the house . And get something not too exspensive so I can wear all the time .

Hi Bonnie, thanks for another video. What makes your channel unique is that you show diamonds and provide some diamond education. I hope you make that a part of every show. I’d love to see a video on the diamonds you would not choose such as a bad bow-tie effect vs. a good one. Or, a video on what inclusions to avoid. I had one jewelry store show me an SI2 eye clean but under the scope I found twinning twists throughout the entire stone, I didn’t select it bc I was afraid it could crack. So, I’d like to learn more about your diamond curating process. I’d also enjoy videos on gold jewelry every now and then. Best of luck growing your channel!

I don’t do the first one but all the others I do. I can’t stop living because of a delicate piece of jewelry. I chose an everyday set not a special occasion piece. Mine are there for farm work, brewery work, washing hands frequently, going to the gym and swimming with them on.I can’t imagine having to be helpless because I can’t use my hand or having to leave rings at home all the time. My solitaire is in white gold but I went with palladium for wedding and anniversary bands. 13 years later they look great. Jeweler steam cleans 2x year.

I couldn't do this I'll probably loose it I keep mine on all the time they are still beautiful they are shiny

[geminuri]

I never wear my engagement ring unless I'm going out of the house or we have guests over. Lol. When I'm at home, it sits in a jewelry dish all by itself.

[asmrjudie]

Wow! I'm scared to take off my ring. I never take it off. I wear it during dishes, working out, showers, work, all the time. 🤷‍♀️

[annabailey]

I have a Mosinite (equal to size of 2 ct diamond) with a 2.6 mm band... I hate taking it off I do it when I work out and stuff tho.

[kriistoRR]

Bonnie how can I prevent snagging my ring on clothes or accidentally hitting it on the edge of a table? I’ve gotten better at preventing this but once in a blue moon it happens and I’m always afraid a diamond will fall off.
