How to Care for and Maintain Your Pre-Owned Tiffany Engagement Ring

Purchasing a pre-owned engagement ring from Tiffany is more than just a financial decision; it's a commitment to sustainability, social responsibility, and timeless elegance. Whether you're drawn to the eco-friendly aspect of reusing impeccably crafted jewelry or the allure of Tiffany's iconic designs, caring for your engagement ring ensures it remains as stunning as the day you received it.

Here’s how to keep your pre-owned Tiffany engagement ring in pristine condition.

Regular Cleaning

Over time, everyday wear can lead to dirt, oil, and grime buildup on your ring. To maintain its sparkle:

• Gentle Soap Solution: Mix a mild dish soap with warm water. Soak your ring for about 15-20 minutes, then gently scrub with a soft toothbrush.
• Rinse and Dry: After cleaning, rinse thoroughly under lukewarm water and dry with a lint-free cloth.
• Avoid Harsh Chemicals: Steer clear of bleach, chlorine, and abrasive cleaners as they can damage the metal and gemstone.

Professional Check-Ups

Even with regular home cleaning, professional maintenance is crucial:

• Annual Inspections: Take your ring to a reputable jeweler once a year for a thorough inspection. They will check for loose settings, worn prongs, and any other potential issues.
• Professional Cleaning: Benefit from a deeper clean that can remove stubborn dirt and restore your ring’s brilliance.

Safe Storage

Proper storage protects your ring from unnecessary wear and tear:

• Individual Compartment: Store your ring in a soft-lined jewelry box or pouch. If possible, keep it in its original Tiffany & Co. box to prevent scratches and damage.
• Avoid Humidity: Keep your ring away from humid environments, as moisture can tarnish the metal over time.

Wearing with Care

While it might be tempting to wear your beautiful ring constantly, there are times when you should take it off.

• During Physical Activities: Remove your ring before engaging in activities like gardening, exercising, or swimming. These activities can expose it to harsh chemicals, physical damage, or loss.
• While Applying Products: Skincare products, perfumes, and hair sprays can dull the shine of your ring. It's best to put these on before wearing your ring.

Understanding Your Ring’s Specific Needs

Each Tiffany engagement ring is unique and understanding its specific characteristics can help you care for it better.

• Metal Maintenance: Platinum, gold, and other metals require different care routines. For example, platinum is more durable but can still scratch over time. Polishing can help maintain its luster.
• Gemstone Care: Diamonds might be the hardest gemstone, but they still need protection from chips and scratches. Other gemstones like emeralds or sapphires may require additional care.

A pre-owned engagement ring from Tiffany is a blend of luxury and responsibility. By following these care tips, your ring will remain a radiant symbol of your love and commitment for years to come.
