Everyday Protection & Best Practices
Small habits make the biggest difference in preserving your jewelry's brilliance and structure over the years.
- Ensure the Right Fit: A ring that spins or fits loosely experiences uneven pressure, which can warp the band and loosen the micro-prongs holding accent stones. Aurole Jewels is always here to assist you in finding your perfect ring size.
- Remove During Heavy Activities: Avoid wearing your fine jewelry while lifting weights, using gym equipment, doing heavy chores, gardening, or handling tools. Firm pressure on hard surfaces can bend even the strongest gold or platinum shanks.
- Avoid Wearing Jewelry to Bed: Fabric fibers from sheets and blankets can snag fine prongs, gradually pulling them away from gemstones over time. Designate a dedicated ring dish or jewelry box on your nightstand for safe overnight storage.
- Mind Cosmetic Buildup: Lotions, makeup, hair products, and hand sanitizers leave a dull film over gemstones and metal settings. Apply all beauty products and lotions before putting on your jewelry.
- Stack with Care: When pairing your ring with wedding bands or stacking rings, ensure the metals and prongs do not grind against one another.
Keeping Your Stones Brilliant
Gemstones naturally attract everyday dust, skin oils, and soap residue. When grime settles on the surface—and especially on the underside beneath the stone—it blocks light entry and temporarily dulls its fire and sparkle.
A gentle cleaning routine at home restores that light and keeps every facet catching the eye the way it was designed to.
Routine Cleaning Method
Follow these three simple steps for a quick, safe clean at home:
-
SoakSubmerge your jewelry in a bowl of warm water mixed with a few drops of mild, lotion-free dish soap for 10–15 minutes.
-
Gently BrushUse an extra-soft toothbrush to lightly clean around the prongs, gemstone facets, and specifically the opening beneath the center stone where dirt collects.
-
Rinse & DryRinse thoroughly under clean, lukewarm water (ensure the sink drain is covered) and gently pat dry with a lint-free microfiber cloth.
Professional Inspection
For pieces worn daily, we recommend a professional inspection once a year to ensure all prongs remain tight, stones are secure, and the setting retains its original alignment.
