Cleaning and Regular Maintenance

Just as a vehicle requires timely servicing, so too does your jewelry. Regular maintenance checks for loose gemstones, worn-out prongs, or other repair-related issues are highly recommended. An annual inspection, followed by a thorough polish and refurbishment conducted by a professional jeweler, can keep your pieces in optimal condition for enduring wear. 

In due course, your rings might accumulate residues from cosmetics, lotions, cleaning solutions, or any other substances your hands come into contact with. This build-up, particularly around and beneath the stones, can affect the piece’s appearance. To provide your ring with a profound clean, you can utilize a gentle soap (dish soap is quite effective as it helps dissolve greasy deposits that can cause diamonds to look hazy or dull). 

Combine this soap with warm water and employ a soft toothbrush to clean. Allow your ring to soak for approximately 10-20 minutes, depending upon necessity, and subsequently scrub it gently under warm flowing water with the toothbrush. Pay particular attention to the underside of the diamond, where residues are more likely to accumulate. 

By taking these steps, you can ensure that your Beckett Noir jewelry retains its original sparkle and charm for an extended period of time.

When To Take Off Your Ring

While we understand you never want to take off your beautiful ring, certain activities can be damaging if it's worn. Here are some recommendations on when to take off your ring!

Heavy Physical Labour

We recommend taking off your ring while performing any activity that involves contact, including lifting weights or boxing! Activities that require you to grip something with force, including heavy grocery bags, can damage the metal of your ring over time, and can eventually cause your band to warp or snap through repeated strain.

Swimming

This includes the beach, the pool or the hot tub! Chlorine can not only leave residue on your stone, adding grime and dulling its sparkle but it can also weaken the metal of your ring, causing discolouration and the prongs to potentially loosen.

Furthermore, cold water can also cause your fingers to shrink temporarily, increasing the risk of your ring falling off and getting lost!

Household Chores

When doing housework such as cleaning, gardening or cooking, it’s important to take care of your ring! Some cleaning products contain harsh chemicals that can discolour your ring over time, while other activities may leave dirt and residue build-up around your stone. Also, any hands-on activity may result in your ring getting caught, snagged or hit, so always be mindful if you decide to keep it on!

Sleeping

While not necessarily dangerous to wear to bed, your ring may get caught or snagged on bed sheets, hair, or clothing overnight, potentially damaging or loosening its prongs.

Pro Tip: Always make sure to keep your ring in a safe place when you’re not wearing it. We recommend storing it in your Beckett Noir pouch or ring box and leaving it somewhere that is easy to remember!

The Art of Storing Jewelry

Appropriate storage is critical in maintaining the condition of your jewelry and protecting it from scratches and tarnishing over time. Humidity plays a significant role in accelerating the tarnishing process; therefore, it’s vital to store your jewelry in a dry environment. If your jewelry is displayed openly, consider using a dehumidifier to reduce the room’s relative humidity.

To prevent your jewelry from getting entangled or scratched, it’s advised to store different types of jewelry in separate compartments. Given the remarkable hardness of diamonds, it is particularly important to store your diamond pieces away from other jewelry items to avoid scratching softer gems. Additionally, wrapping your diamond adornments in soft cloths can help safeguard them from potential damage.

By adhering to these storage techniques, your Beckett Noir jewelry will retain its splendor, staying as magnificent as when you first acquired it.
