Preserving Wedding Rings
“With this ring, I thee bond, and guarantee a sparkle that’s eternal!” Yeah, I’m pretty sure that’s how the line goes. Your wedding ring isn’t merely a accessory, it’s a symbol of love that you want to shine like the sun forever.
The Untold Revelations of Wedding Ring Care
To ensure your ring doesn't end up looking like it belongs in an archaeological excavation, dust off your curiosity cap and join me in exploring the unknown techniques of wedding ring cleaning and maintenance!
1. Avoid the Chemical Cocktail Party
This isn't referring to the wacky blue cocktails at your cousin's wedding. The harsh chemicals in cleaning supplies, lotions, and even perfumes can harshly affect your shiny ring. Hence, remove your ring during those activities (just don’t forget where you’ve put it!).
2.The Sauna is a No-Go
While you enjoy a steamy unwind, your ring goes through the exact opposite! The heat can damage your ring, leave it at home, trust me, it won't feel left out!
3. Professional Check-ups are a Must
Just like your health requires a regular doctor’s visit, your ring needs its ‘doctor’ i.e., a professional jeweller. They will fill you in on signs of distress.
4. The Toothbrush Magic
While brushing your teeth, give your ring a quick brushing as well. Just remember, use a soft brush & the gentlest touch.
5. Swimming Pool? More like a Swimming No!
Bummer, right? But pools & spas contain chlorine which can damage key aspects of your ring.
6. Nighty-Night
Your ring needs beauty sleep too! Get it a soft-lined jewelry box & bid it a goodnight. This way, you aren't rolling onto it during the night!
7. The Houdini Technique
You see this technique in action whenever you disappear into the kitchen to cook or clean. The possibility of losing your ring in the kitchen may haunt your dreams. Then simply pretend to be Houdini and make your ring disappear (into a safe spot) before you start.
“A wedding ring is a symbol of commitment; a promise, a pledge, and a vow. The promise is to forsake all others, to stay devoted and true; the pledge is to honor that promise selflessly, to see the whole thing through; and the vow is to keep that pledge unwaveringly, until the days are few. It is a mutual agreement to become one instead of two.” - J.W. Lord, author
