How to Care for Your Ring: A Maintenance Guide from RobinHood Diamonds

Your ring is more than just jewelry — it’s a personal symbol, a custom-crafted treasure, and in many cases, one of the most meaningful pieces you’ll ever own. At RobinHood Diamonds, every ring we create is designed to last a lifetime, but like anything you wear every day, it deserves a little TLC to keep it shining at its best.

Whether you’re wearing your engagement ring, wedding band, or a custom stack every day, this guide covers how to care for your piece and keep it looking just as brilliant as the day you received it.

1. Make Cleaning Part of Your Routine

Diamonds may be forever, but daily wear can dull their sparkle. Dirt, oil, lotion, and other residue build up over time — especially in those tiny crevices around the setting.

How to clean your ring at home:

  • Fill a small bowl with warm water and a few drops of mild dish soap.
  • Let your ring soak for about 15–20 minutes.
  • Use a soft toothbrush (baby toothbrushes work great!) to gently scrub around the stone and setting.
  • Rinse thoroughly with lukewarm water and pat dry with a lint-free cloth.

Avoid: harsh chemicals, toothpaste, or abrasive materials — they can damage both the metal and any side stones.

2. Know When to Take It Off

Your ring is strong, but it’s not indestructible. Taking it off during certain activities can prevent unnecessary damage and wear over time.

Remove your ring when:

  • Applying lotions or hair products
  • Doing the dishes or cleaning with chemicals
  • At the gym or lifting weights
  • Gardening or working with your hands
  • Swimming (cold water can shrink your fingers and increase the risk of slipping)

Even though it’s tempting to never take your ring off, giving it a break during high-impact activities will protect both the stone and the setting.

3. We’ve Got You Covered for Life 😊

At RobinHood Diamonds, we proudly offer a free lifetime warranty and maintenance for all our custom pieces. We believe your jewelry should be worry-free — and that starts with standing behind the quality we create.

Our lifetime warranty includes:

  • Free annual cleanings and inspections
  • Complimentary prong tightening, polishing, and stone checks
  • Resizing within the first year (one time, for free)

If your ring ever needs servicing, simply contact us — you can visit us at our NYC showroom or ship it to us securely. We’re here to keep your ring looking and feeling like new, for life.

Note: Our warranty doesn’t cover lost stones, damage from excessive wear, or third-party alterations — so we recommend insuring your ring for full peace of mind.

4. Store It Safely

When you’re not wearing your ring, be sure to store it safely to avoid scratches or misplacement.

Best practices:

  • Keep your ring in a soft pouch or a fabric-lined jewelry box
  • Store it separately from other jewelry to prevent scratches
  • Avoid keeping it on the edge of sinks, dressers, or nightstands where it could fall or get knocked off

5. Insure What Matters

While our warranty covers many repairs and maintenance needs, having your ring insured adds another layer of security. We recommend using a jewelry-specific insurance provider, and we’re happy to provide a formal appraisal if you need one.

Final Thoughts

A little routine care goes a long way. With proper maintenance — and the added peace of mind from our lifetime warranty — your RobinHood Diamonds ring will continue to shine with the same brilliance and meaning for decades to come.

Your story doesn’t end when you receive your ring — it evolves, just like you. Let us help you keep it shining every step of the way! ✨💎
