RING CARE

STERLING SILVER RINGS.​​​​

Sterling silver rings are made of durable, high-quality 925 sterling silver. Despite this, sterling silver can tarnish over time. This effect is amplified when the metal comes into contact with sweat, seawater, or chlorine. Rings should be removed before engaging in activities that involve these elements to slow down the rate of tarnishing.

​

If a ring loses its original shine, it can be restored by rinsing it under warm water with soap. If tarnish has developed, the ring can be returned to its original state by cleaning it with silver polish and a microfiber cloth. The ring should then be rinsed with warm water and soap, and fully dried before wearing.

ARGENTIUM RINGS.​​​​

Argentium rings are made of high quality 940 Argentium silver. Argentium is more durable, tarnish resistant, has a brighter appearance and also has hypoallergenic properties. Argentium is still prone to tarnishing especially when in contact with sweat, sea water and chlorine. Rings should be removed before engaging in activities that encounter these elements to slow down this natural process.

 

If a ring loses its original shine, it can be restored by rinsing it under warm water with soap. If tarnish has developed, the ring can be returned to its original state by cleaning it with silver polish and a microfiber cloth. The ring should then be rinsed with warm water and soap, and fully dried before wearing.​​
