Caring for Your Sapphire Ring


Light Blue Cushion Aquamarine

So, you now have that exquisite sapphire ring that you always wanted.  Now, how are you going to maintain its sparkle and luster?  Here are some tips on taking care of your sapphire rings. Always avoid wearing your ring when doing intensive work like gardening or doing the dishes manually.

  • Keep clear of solvents, bleaches or abrasives if you have the ring on.
  • Avoid toothpaste for cleaning.  It works as an abrasive.
  • Always store your ring in a separate jewelry box, so that there is no chance of scraping against other gemstones, especially diamonds.  This may scratch the softer gemstone, sapphire.
  • Clean with mild soap and warm water.  Scrub with toothbrush or jewelry brush.
  • Follow with rinsing the ring in lukewarm water.
  • Dry off with a soft cloth.

  • Regularly go for checking the setting at a local jeweler for any loose or broken prongs.  Although unlikely, you wouldn't want to lose your sapphire because of carelessness.
  • Soak in a little alcohol or vodka.  Hard dirt comes off easily.
  • Take care if swimming.  Chlorine can cause pits in gold alloys.
