How to Care for Stone Rings for Men: Everyday Dos and Don'ts

You wear it to a wedding, a pooja, a family function. Then, a few weeks later, you notice the stone looks a little dull and the band has a few marks. Sound familiar?

Stone rings are bold, and bold pieces get noticed, including the small marks. The good news is that a few simple habits protect both the stone and the metal around it: keep it dry, keep it clean, keep it away from sprays, and keep it stored on its own.

Why Stone Rings Need a Little Extra Care

A stone ring has two parts that need looking after: the stone itself, and the setting that holds it. Dirt collects under the stone, knocks can loosen the setting, and chemicals can dull both the stone and the plating. A little regular care stops small problems from becoming big ones.

The 7 Dos

  1. Do wipe it daily. A soft dry cloth after wearing removes sweat and oil.
  2. Do check the setting. Look at the stone now and then. If it feels loose, stop wearing it and contact us.
  3. Do store it separately. A box or pouch keeps it from scratching, and from being scratched by, other pieces.
  4. Do put it on last. Perfume, deodorant and hair gel first, ring last.
  5. Do keep it dry. If it gets wet, pat it dry at once.
  6. Do take it off before sleeping. It protects the ring and your hand.
  7. Do use a soft brush for deep cleaning. Use a very soft brush, very gently, to clear dust around the stone.

The 7 Don'ts

  1. Don't wear it to the gym. Sweat, grip and impact are the three biggest enemies.
  2. Don't wash your hands with it on. Soap sits under the stone and dulls it.
  3. Don't use toothpaste, baking soda or polish. They scratch the surface.
  4. Don't use sanitiser with it on. It can affect the finish and the setting.
  5. Don't knock it. Doors, bikes, steering wheels and tools are all common culprits.
  6. Don't leave it on the bathroom shelf. Steam and humidity are not friends.
  7. Don't soak it. Water can sit under the stone and stay there.

A Simple 2-Minute Cleaning Routine

  1. Wipe the ring with a soft dry cloth.
  2. If needed, use a very slightly damp cloth around the stone.
  3. Clear dust from the edges with a very soft brush.
  4. Dry it completely before putting it away.
