Rings are beautiful, meaningful pieces of jewellery, but their delicate nature means they can sometimes bend or lose shape over time. This is especially common for dainty and thin bands, which are more susceptible to pressure. To keep your rings looking flawless and in perfect shape, follow these essential tips.
Choose Durable Materials
When selecting a ring, opt for durable materials like gold fill, or sterling silver. These metals offer a good balance of strength and beauty, making them less prone to bending compared to softer metals.
Be Mindful of Daily Activities
Many daily activities can put stress on your rings. To prevent bending, remove your rings before:
- Lifting heavy objects (e.g., weights, grocery bags, or furniture)
- Some household chores (e.g., gardening, or vigorous cleaning)
- Engaging in high-impact activities (e.g., sports or gym workouts)
Store Rings Properly
When not wearing your rings, store them in a soft-lined jewellery box or pouch. Keeping them separate from other jewellery prevents unnecessary pressure and scratches.
Avoid Stacking Thin Bands with Heavy Rings
Wearing dainty rings alongside heavier, thicker rings can cause uneven pressure, leading to bending over time. If you love stacking rings, try pairing similar-weight bands together for better longevity.
Get the Right Fit
A ring that is too loose or too tight is more likely to deform. A well-fitting ring distributes pressure evenly, reducing the risk of bending. If your not sure of your ring size, we sell ring sizers here
Regular Maintenance & Care
Inspect your rings regularly for any signs of bending or wear. If you notice a slight change in shape, take it to a jeweller for a quick adjustment before the issue worsens.
Final Thoughts
With the right care and precautions, your rings can maintain their original shape and beauty for years to come. By being mindful of how and when you wear them, along with proper storage and occasional maintenance, you can enjoy your jewellery without worry.
