Ring Care Guide
Ring Care Guide
A fine piece of jewellery is more than just an accessory—it’s a symbol of love, commitment, and elegance. At AG & CO Jewellery, we craft our rings to the highest standards, but to ensure they retain their brilliance for a lifetime, proper care is essential. Follow our expert tips below to keep your ring shining as beautifully as the day you first wore it.
Daily Care & Maintenance
To protect your ring from unnecessary damage, follow these essential care tips:
Remove Before Activities: Take off your ring before engaging in activities such as exercising, swimming, cleaning, or gardening.
Avoid Contact with Chemicals: Harsh substances like detergents, chlorine, lotions, and perfumes can dull the shine of your diamond and metal over time.
Store it Safely: Keep your ring in a soft-lined jewellery box or a separate pouch to prevent scratches and tangling with other jewellery.
Cleaning Your Ring
Regular cleaning ensures your ring maintains its brilliance and sparkle.
At-Home Cleaning:
- Fill a small bowl with lukewarm water and mild dish soap.
- Soak your ring for 10-15 minutes.
- Use a soft-bristle toothbrush to gently remove dirt from the setting.
- Rinse with clean water and pat dry with a lint-free cloth.
Avoid ultrasonic cleaners for rings with delicate settings, soft gemstones, or vintage pieces.
Professional Cleaning & Servicing
We recommend a professional check-up every 6-12 months. Our expert jewellers will:
- Check for loose stones
- Polish and restore its original shine
- Inspect the prongs and setting for structural integrity
Metal-Specific Care Tips
Platinum & White Gold: May need rhodium re-plating every few years to maintain its shine.
Yellow & Rose Gold: Avoid exposure to harsh chemicals that can cause tarnishing.
Sterling Silver: Store in a dry, airtight container and use a silver polishing cloth regularly.
Diamond & Gemstone Care
Different gemstones require unique care:
Diamonds: Extremely durable but can chip if struck at a hard angle.
Sapphires & Rubies: Clean with mild soap and water, avoiding harsh chemicals.
Opals & Pearls: Extremely delicate—wipe with a damp cloth only, avoid soaking.

If your ring no longer fits perfectly or has been damaged, we offer professional resizing and repair services.
