CARING FOR YOUR RING

You finally have the perfect ring, which has been made especially for you by Smooch - the last thing you'd ever want to do is scratch it, chip it, or lose any diamonds from their setting. Taking a few precautions will ensure they retain their beautiful appearance for as long as possible.
TAKE IT OFF.

Caring for your ring occasionally means you would be well advised to take it off, especially during activities such as gardening, cooking or DIY. Sandy beaches can really damage your wedding ring too, as sand is very abrasive.

It’s also unsafe to climb ladders or scaffolding wearing a ring as you could be badly injured if you fell and caught the ring on something.

When coming into contact with harsh chemicals you should remove your ring to protect it. Some chemicals can damage the lustre and polish of your ring. Diamonds and other stones can be ruined by chemical based cleaning products.

SWIMMING POOLS & HOT TUBS
All gold, especially white gold, can be badly damaged by Chlorine. This is found in swimming pools and hot-tubs. Always avoid wearing a white gold ring in a pool or tub as the chlorine may attack the surface of your ring causing pitting and discolouration

KEEP IT CLEAN.
Smooch will clean and polish your ring free of charge, so please take advantage of this facility whenever you want. Just contact our Customer Service desk on 01895 825900
If you would rather clean your ring yourself just add a very small amount of washing up liquid to some warm water in a bowl and gently brush the ring using a soft brush.
NEVER use anything like abrasive cleaning products like Jif, Brillo pads or pan scrubbers!

INSURE YOUR RING.
We all know that sentimentally it's irreplaceable; however, it's important to have insurance just in case. Most insurance companies will include your ring under your homeowner's insurance, although you can always insure it separately if you wish.
We’ll give you an official Insurance Valuation free of charge, on request.
Take care of your ring, and it will always be as dazzling as it was on your wedding day.
HALLMARKS

Every ring we produce is hallmarked by one of the four UK Assay Offices. The hallmark guarantees the quality of the gold, palladium or platinum we’ve used to create your ring. This means you can have absolute confidence that your ring has been made from the metal you chose and is certified as genuine.

CARING FOR YOUR RING.
There are some things you should know about all precious metals that will help you to care for your ring and keep it looking beautiful throughout your marriage.
When you take your ring out of the box it will be pristine and unblemished – however simple everyday actions like handling coins or keys, or cooking with metal utensils, will cause scratches.
Working with your hands will inevitably mean your ring comes into contact with other metals and therefore will scratch.

Things like sand, which contains very hard grains of quartz, will scratch any ring, DIY and building work, car maintenance and even cooking can damage a ring because jewellery metals are softer than steel, aluminium and other metals in the home and at work.
Wherever two metals come into contact scratching will occur because no metal is scratch proof. All metals scratch, from the toughest steel to the finest Platinum, no metal is immune to scratching.
There is a big difference between durability and scratch resistance. Platinum and titanium are very durable but they will still scratch.
HALLMARKING
