Why should I have my ring serviced?

It is very important to schedule maintenance appointments with your jeweller at least once a year to make sure the prongs are tight, the diamond isn't loose, and there are no hairline cracks in the shank.

All-around maintenance is vital.  Rings are exposed daily to bumps, abrasive surfaces, key-rings, doorknobs, bag handles, to name but a few.

It is highly recommended that you immediately take you ring in to your trusted jeweller when you bumped or knocked it.  Damage may not be visible with the naked eye and the jeweller needs to examine it under magnification.  If any of the stones are loose, shifted or lost, they can advise you on the repair process.  This is quite significant when it comes to the smaller diamonds.  A small amount of metal is used to secure smaller diamonds to the ring and it is easier for one of these tiny beads to break with a bump or scratch.

Your diamond wedding ring or gemstone engagement ring is an important piece of jewellery ( not to mention the cost).  Proper engagement ring care should be your priority after your significant other pops the question.   As the bride-to-be, you’ve spent months, perhaps years, dreaming of the perfect engagement ring.   Your dream ring is now a permanent fixture on your left hand, so you will want to ensure it stays sparkly for many years to come.

Avoid touching the center stone at all costs.  All precious gemstones are magnets for body oil, dust, dirt.  When you take your ring off or put it on, try grabbing the band or shank on either side of the stone instead of gripping the stone itself.  If your stone ever looks cloudy or hazy, it is likely covered in a bit of body oil or dirt is stuck underneath it.
