Jewelry Cleaning, Care & Sizing

 

How often should I clean my diamond engagement ring?

We recommend cleaning your diamond engagement ring or other frequently worn diamond jewelry at home 1-2 times per month and professional cleanings twice a year. There are a few reasons it’s important to have these precious items cleaned regularly, but the most obvious one is because it’s gorgeous when it sparkles! There’s nothing quite like a freshly-cleaned diamond hitting the sunlight! Vanities aside, having clean jewelry almost always means noticing potential issues from normal daily wear with the structure of the jewelry sooner and therefore lessening the likelihood of a diamond loss, broken clasp, etc. So keeping smudges at bay and build-ups from lotions, makeup or oils means you’ll be able to see - or even hear – a possible problem and address it right away with a jeweler.

Do engagement rings need to be professionally cleaned? If so, how many times per year?

If you wear your engagement ring or any jewelry daily, you’re bound to have a build-up of skin, dirt, and soaps. Keep in mind that wearing your rings every day is like wearing the same outfit every day and build-up on your jewelry is inevitable, especially the rings on your hands. At-home cleanings are great and keep your jewels shining, but we do believe having your engagement professionally cleaned every six months is necessary, and the extra TLC from pros is worth it! Every Rogers & Hollands or Ashcroft & Oak Jewelers location offers a complimentary ring cleaning service, regardless if you purchased the ring from them, and for free! Professional ring cleaning typically first involves an inspection of the item underneath a microscope to make sure no stones are loose and are still in good condition. Next, the ring is submerged in an ultrasonic cleaning machine containing a specialized washing solvent. This machine uses energy to create vibrations that help shake dirt and dust away without harming the ring. The process typically takes about 15-20 minutes.

Is it okay to sleep with your engagement ring on, or does sleeping in jewelry wear it down/cause it to build up dirt faster?

Put simply, it’s best not to sleep with your engagement ring on. Apart from the obvious snagging threat from bedding, hair, or even your partner, if you tend to lie on your hands, the pressure of your weight can cause the band to become misshapen and, subsequently, loose stones. However, if you’re traveling, the mindset of “you can’t lose it when you wear it” is probably best to avoid misplacing any jewelry. When you do take your ring off, our advice is to have one safe spot in your house as the only place you ever take your ring off and store it.

What happens if my jewelry was lost or stolen?

While our protection plan warranty plans cover repairs and maintenance, they do not cover loss or theft. To ensure your item(s) is covered from potential loss or theft, you would have to do so separately with your Home-Owners/Renters Insurance. If you choose to, we are happy to assist with the re-purchase of your item(s).

Does Rogers & Hollands/Ashcroft & Oak buy jewelry?

We do not purchase jewelry. However, you may be able to trade in your previous Rogers & Hollands or Ashcroft & Oak purchases. For more information on our trade-in policies and process, click here.

How long does it take to get a ring cleaned at a Rogers & Hollands or Ashcroft & Oak location?

Any cleaning and inspection will usually take five to 15 minutes. The process includes a soak in the ultrasonic cleaner, which contains a mix of chemicals aimed to remove dirt and other grime and clean the metal.

What is rhodium plating or, what does it mean to have my ring rhodium-plated?

Rhodium plating is the process that makes white gold rings, such as engagement rings or wedding bands, look bright white and shiny. Since white gold is not naturally white, jewelers will rhodium plate the item, after polishing, to give it a sleek white shiny finish again, just like new! But remember, since rhodium plating is not permanent, you will see it wear off over time. It is recommended to have jewelry, such as an engagement ring, polished and rhodium-plated once every eight months or so.

How do I measure ring size?

It’s important to get the right fit. The most accurate method is to visit your nearest R&H or A&O store where our trained associates can quickly measure your finger. Alternatively, you can determine your ring size using our downloadable ring sizing guide! Pro tip! We recommend ordering on the larger side, as it’s much easier to re-size a ring that’s too big, rather than too small. Please remember that sizing adds up to three additional business days for processing and not all rings can be sized.

RING SIZER FOR DOWNLOAD & PRINT > IMPORTANT! When printing the ring sizer, set the Page Scaling to ’None’ in your printer dialog box. Otherwise, the ring sizer will not print to the correct scale.

Can you stretch or size my ring?

If the ring is made of contemporary metal (i.e., tungsten carbide, cobalt, titanium, or stainless steel), the ring cannot be sized by a jeweler because of the hardness of the metal. Typically, the ring will be reordered from the manufacturer in the correct size. Depending on the designing company, this usually takes 2-6 weeks.

It does depend on the type of ring you have and what metal it is made of. Solid or plain symmetrical gold and platinum rings that do not have any gemstones can be stretched by a professional jeweler using the proper device. However, it can only be stretched a small amount.

Can engagement or diamond and gemstone fashion rings be sized? Most often, the answer is yes! The only reason a ring could not be sized is if the stones in a ring are set in vulnerable spots that decrease the safety of the stones. Sizing a ring with this type of risk could end in breaking, chipping, or popping stones out of the setting.

What is the difference between white gold and yellow gold?

You have probably heard of 10 karat (kt), 14 kt, 18kt, 22kt, and 24kt gold here in the USA. A karat is a unit of measure of how much gold is in an alloy metal. For example, 14 karat gold is made up of 58.5% gold while the other 41.5% is made up of alloys. The most common alloys used in gold are copper, zinc, silver, palladium, and nickel. In white gold, the alloys used are typically the white property alloys silver, palladium, and nickel. These alloys are what make “white gold” white. Gold comes from the earth a bright yellow color, therefore, white gold is naturally yellow too. In order to make the yellow less noticeable white property alloys are added to gold to help mass the yellow color. This is where karats of gold come into play.
