Proper care helps preserve the appearance, finish, stones, and structure of your ring. Nivarelle Rings offers pieces made with different metals, finishes, stones, and designs, so the appropriate care method may vary by product.
Always review the material and stone information stated on the individual product page before cleaning your ring.
Everyday Ring Care
To help maintain your ring’s appearance:
-
Remove your ring before showering, bathing, or swimming.
-
Remove it before exercising, gardening, cleaning, or lifting heavy objects.
-
Avoid wearing it while using household cleaning products.
-
Apply perfume, lotion, cosmetics, hairspray, and hand sanitizer before putting on your ring.
-
Allow skincare and cosmetic products to dry completely before wearing jewelry.
-
Avoid dropping the ring or striking it against hard surfaces.
-
Wipe the ring gently with a clean, soft, dry jewelry cloth after wearing it.
-
Do not expose the ring to bleach, chlorine, salt water, detergents, or harsh chemicals.
Maintaining Your Ring’s Shine
Oil, lotion, cosmetics, dust, and moisture can collect on a ring and reduce its shine.
After wearing your ring, gently wipe the metal and stones with a soft, lint-free jewelry cloth. Do not scrub aggressively or apply excessive pressure around the stone settings.
Do not use toothpaste, baking soda, bleach, abrasive powders, rough brushes, paper towels, or household cleaning products. These materials may scratch the surface, affect plating, or damage certain stones.
Solid 14K and 18K Gold Rings
Our collection includes rings described on their product pages as 14K rose gold or 18K yellow gold.
To clean a solid-gold ring:
-
Place lukewarm water in a clean bowl.
-
Add a small amount of mild, fragrance-free soap.
-
Gently clean the ring using a very soft brush or lint-free cloth.
-
Pay careful attention around the stone setting without applying pressure.
-
Rinse the ring carefully in clean lukewarm water.
-
Dry it completely with a soft, lint-free cloth.
Avoid bleach, chlorine, abrasive cleaners, and sudden temperature changes. Solid gold can still scratch or bend, particularly on thin bands, so store each ring separately.
Sterling Silver Rings
Sterling silver may gradually develop tarnish when exposed to air, moisture, cosmetics, or chemicals. This is a normal surface reaction.
After wearing a sterling-silver ring, wipe it with a clean, soft cloth and store it in a dry jewelry pouch or box.
For unplated sterling silver, a cloth specifically intended for sterling-silver jewelry may be used gently. Do not use silver dips, aggressive polishing compounds, or abrasive cleaners.
If the sterling-silver ring has a gold, rose-gold, or white-gold plated finish, follow the plated-ring instructions below instead of polishing it as unplated silver.
Gold, Rose-Gold, and White-Gold Plated Rings
Several rings in our collection have a plated surface over sterling silver or stainless steel.
Plating is a surface finish and should be handled gently. Repeated friction, moisture, chemicals, and aggressive polishing may gradually affect its appearance.
To care for a plated ring:
-
Wipe it gently with a soft, dry cloth after use.
-
Do not soak it in water.
-
Avoid perfumes, lotions, cosmetics, detergents, and cleaning products.
-
Do not use silver polish, metal polish, jewelry dips, or abrasive cleaners.
-
Avoid repeated rubbing or aggressive polishing.
-
Store the ring separately to prevent contact with other jewelry.
-
Remove it before sleeping, bathing, swimming, exercising, or cleaning.
Moissanite Rings
Moissanite can collect oil and product residue that may reduce its visible sparkle.
For a moissanite ring set in solid gold or unplated sterling silver, use lukewarm water, a small amount of mild soap, and a very soft brush. Clean gently around the stone and setting, rinse carefully, and dry completely with a lint-free cloth.
If the moissanite is set in a plated ring, do not soak the ring. Use a lightly dampened soft cloth and dry it immediately.
Do not use harsh chemical cleaners. If a stone appears loose or the setting appears damaged, stop wearing the ring and have it inspected before cleaning or wearing it again.
Opal and Moonstone Rings
Opal and moonstone require gentle handling. Protect these stones from strong impact, harsh chemicals, high heat, and sudden temperature changes.
To care for an opal or moonstone ring:
-
Wipe it gently with a clean, soft cloth.
-
If necessary, use a slightly damp cloth with a small amount of mild soap.
-
Do not soak the ring for an extended period.
-
Dry the ring completely after cleaning.
-
Do not use steam cleaners or ultrasonic cleaners.
-
Avoid hot water, bleach, alcohol, perfume, and chemical jewelry cleaners.
-
Store the ring separately to prevent scratches and impact.
Opal and moonstone rings should be removed before activities that may expose them to pressure, impact, chemicals, or prolonged moisture.
Morganite, Cubic Zirconia, and Other Gemstone Rings
Morganite, cubic zirconia, and the other gemstones used in our collection should be cleaned gently.
Use a soft, lint-free cloth to remove surface residue. When deeper cleaning is needed, use a small amount of mild soap and lukewarm water, provided the ring does not have a plated finish.
For plated gemstone rings, use only a lightly dampened cloth and dry the ring immediately.
Avoid harsh chemicals, abrasive cleaners, high heat, steam cleaning, and strong impact. Check the stone setting occasionally and stop wearing the ring if a stone feels loose.
Adjustable Ring Care
Adjustable rings should be adjusted gently and only when necessary.
To adjust an open-band ring:
-
Hold the metal band rather than pulling on the stones or decorative elements.
-
Apply light and even pressure to both sides.
-
Make only a small adjustment at a time.
-
Do not repeatedly open and close the band.
-
Do not force the ring beyond its intended adjustment range.
Repeated bending or excessive force may weaken the band, change its shape, affect the surface finish, or loosen the stones.
Fixed-size rings must not be bent or adjusted.
Spinner and Rotating Ring Care
For rings with a manually rotating or spinner band:
-
Hold the inner band and rotate the outer band gently with a finger.
-
Do not force the spinner if it does not move freely.
-
Keep the ring dry and remove moisture promptly.
-
Avoid allowing lotion, soap, dust, or cleaning products to collect inside the mechanism.
-
Do not apply household oil, lubricant, adhesive, or cleaning spray.
-
Do not bend or pull the rotating band.
-
Store the ring separately when it is not being worn.
If the spinner mechanism becomes difficult to move, stop forcing it and contact Nivarelle Rings for assistance.
Safe Ring Storage
Store each ring separately in a clean, dry jewelry pouch or lined box.
Keep rings away from direct sunlight, excessive heat, humidity, bathrooms, and household chemicals. Do not place multiple rings together without separation because contact between jewelry pieces may cause scratches or damage to stones and finishes.
Before storing a ring, make sure it is completely clean and dry.
When to Stop Wearing Your Ring
Stop wearing the ring if you notice:
-
A loose or moving stone
-
A bent or damaged band
-
A damaged stone setting
-
A crack, chip, or significant scratch
-
A spinner mechanism that no longer moves normally
-
A sudden change in the ring’s structure
Do not use glue or attempt a structural repair at home.
