Statement rings make a strong impression—but they also need proper care to maintain their appearance and value.

The first step is understanding the materials. Gold and platinum resist tarnish, but silver may need regular polishing. Gemstones like diamonds, sapphires, and topaz are durable, while softer stones like opals or pearls require extra care.

To keep your statement rings in great condition:

• Remove them before cleaning, swimming, or applying lotions.

• Store them separately in a soft pouch or compartmentalized jewelry box to prevent scratches.

• Wipe regularly with a soft, lint-free cloth to remove oils and debris.

• For intricate designs, consider professional cleanings once or twice a year.

If your ring has a loose setting or damaged prong, don’t wait—get it repaired to avoid losing a stone.

Statement rings are investments in style and self-expression. With a little maintenance, they’ll remain stunning and wearable for decades.
