0.15 Carats Round Shape Moissanite Open Circle Necklace

Removing your ring during everyday activities isn’t just a good habit, it’s essential for preserving its beauty, structure and longevity. While your ring is designed to journey with you through life, everyday moments can pose risks to the precious metals, gemstones and its overall structural integrity over time.

Below we explore the everyday situations where it’s best to take your ring off, and why these moments matter.

Did you know your head (or most) is the weight of a bowling ball? When you sleep, even what feels like the lightest contact can exert pressure on your ring. The weight and movement of your hand and, by extension, your ring is enough over time to subtly bend the shank, basket or prongs of your setting. This can loosen gemstones or affect the alignment of your ring if left on night after night.

Taking your ring off before bed helps protect its structural integrity and ensures your stones remain secure.

Cold water can cause your fingers to shrink, increasing the risk of your ring slipping off unnoticed. Meanwhile, chemicals in swimming pools, like chlorine, and salt in seawater can gradually erode metal and affect the durability of your rings’ setting.

Removing your ring before entering the water is a simple but effective step, it protects both your metal and gemstones, and prevents the risk of losing your ring without even noticing.

Small, everyday actions may seem harmless, but repeated contact with hard surfaces such as bench tops, cookware and utensils, gradually places stress on your ring’s setting. Oils, grime and food residue can also accumulate beneath the gemstone, subtly dulling its lustre over time.

Removing your ring while cooking or baking ensures these everyday moments don’t compromise its shine or structural integrity.

Activities like lifting weights or using gym equipment may seem harmless, but they can place unexpected pressure on your ring’s band and setting. Repeated contact with hard surfaces or equipment can subtly distort the shank, place stress on the prongs and loosen your gemstone over time.

To preserve your heirloom piece, it’s best to remove it before exercising, a small habit that safeguards your jewellery while you stay active.

Household cleaning products often contain harsh chemicals that can dull precious metals and affect gemstone settings with repeated exposure. Even everyday sprays, detergents and scrubbing motions increase wear on prongs and metal surfaces.
