In addition to considering gemstone hardness, taking care of your gemstone treasures is essential to ensuring longevity and maintaining its beauty - no matter which gemstone you select. Here are some tips for cleaning and caring for your engagement ring.

- Regular cleaning: Dirt, oil, and other substances can build up on your ring over time, making it look dull and less sparkly. To keep it looking its best, clean your engagement ring regularly. You can use a soft-bristled toothbrush and a gentle jewelry cleaner to remove any dirt or grime. Be sure to rinse your ring thoroughly with warm water and dry it with your soft Nangi jewelry cloth.

- Store it properly: When you're not wearing your ring, store it in a safe place. Ideally, you should store it in our Nangi jewelry box or pouch, separate from other jewelry to prevent scratches and damage.
- Remove it during activities: Certain activities can put your ring at risk for damage. Remove your ring before doing activities such as working out, gardening, or heavy lifting to avoid accidental damage.

- Regular Check-ups: To ensure the longevity and brilliance of your engagement ring, it’s important to have it checked regularly by us or another professional jeweler. This allows for the inspection of the prongs holding the gemstone, ensuring they remain secure and free from damage. Loose prongs can lead to the unfortunate loss or damage of gemstones, so don’t skip this essential step.
