The main things you should not do while wearing your engagement ring and times you should take your engagement ring off include:

Swimming & Water activities.

Although top-quality engagement rings are waterproof or water-resistant, chlorine and other chemicals can affect, tarnish and erode the engagement ring material and metal alloys. For example, with white gold engagement rings, the chlorine will degrade the rhodium, turning it yellow.

Imagine losing your engagement ring in the ocean. That is a lot of ground to cover. If your ring becomes lubricated and falls off while swimming or on the beach, finding it could be difficult, and your engagement ring may be lost to you forever.

Put your ring away and have a fun, water-tastic day!

Applying hand lotions

Applying hand lotions and other creams, such as suntan lotion, can leave a residue and product build-up, which over time, impacts your ring’s durability and appearance. Chemicals and oils in beauty products are absorbed by your engagement ring, which can change the way your diamond sparkles and shines, leaving it dull and discoloured. Exfoliants and scrubs are the worse culprits that wear down and discolour your gemstone and dull your gorgeous gem’s shine.

Pearls and opals are particular victims of discolouration from hand lotions, and gold, silver and platinum engagement bands will eventually lose lustre. Diamonds can absorb oils, become loose, and fall off your engagement ring. Don’t let your engagement lose its sparkle. Take them rings off before applying lotions!

Garden

Gardening good for the soul, bad for the engagement ring. You do not want dirt and soil getting into your ring’s small crevices. And talking of small crevices, that is precisely where your ring or diamond may fall, lost to you forever, back to the earth where it came from.

Doing the dishes

Chemicals, Garbage disposal, down the drain. That is where your money can end up going if you wear your ring whilst doing the dishes. Take it off, and have a small place to keep when tidying up. Feel a wash of relief.

Cooking

We have all heard the horror stories of losing your ring in the cooking and small sticky bits of food like dough and syrups ending up between prongs and crevices. Take it off and store it somewhere safe to avoid American Pie: The wedding. The sequel.

Operating Machinery

Australia has some amazing tradies, lorry drivers and machinery operators. If you work in an industry that requires you to operate machinery or work with your hands, your engagement ring could become damaged. Taking off your ring isn’t always fun, but sometimes it is necessary.

Sleep

Now that you have found your dream engagement ring don’t lose it while snoozing. Prongs can get caught in your hair, and you can lose your ring in the bedding. It isn’t pretty, and it certainly isn’t romantic. Pop your engagement ring somewhere safe for a great night’s sleep and peace of mind.
