Signet rings are timeless symbols of style and heritage, designed to last a lifetime. With proper care, your signet ring will maintain its beauty and functionality for years to come.

Follow this comprehensive care guide to keep your ring in pristine condition.

Cleaning Your Signet Ring

Regular Cleaning

• Step 1: Mix a gentle soap solution with warm water.
• Step 2: Use a soft-bristled toothbrush to delicately scrub the surface of your ring, removing dirt and grime.
• Step 3: Rinse the ring thoroughly under warm water to eliminate soap residue.
• Step 4: Dry the ring gently with a soft cloth to avoid water spots.

Special Considerations for Gemstones

• If your signet ring features gemstones, avoid harsh cleaning solutions that might damage them.
• Instead, wipe the gemstones with a soft cloth and avoid abrasive materials that could scratch their surface.

Storing Your Signet Ring

Proper Storage

• Store your signet ring in a dedicated jewelry box or pouch to protect it from scratches and dust.
• Avoid placing your ring with other jewelry pieces to prevent accidental damage.

Traveling with Your Ring

• Use a padded travel jewelry case or pouch when taking your ring on trips.
• Keep it away from direct sunlight and high temperatures during storage to preserve its condition.

Protecting Your Signet Ring

Avoiding Damage

• Remove your ring before engaging in activities that could cause impact or expose it to harsh chemicals, such as:
  • Cleaning with household products
  • Swimming in chlorinated pools
  • Exercising or heavy lifting
• Chlorinated water, in particular, can discolor precious metals and compromise the durability of your ring.

Regular Inspections

• Periodically check your signet ring for:
  • Loose stones
    
  • Signs of wear or damage
• If you detect any issues, consult a professional jeweler for repairs. Avoid DIY fixes, as they may cause further damage.

Professional Maintenance

• Schedule professional cleanings and inspections every few years to ensure your ring remains in optimal condition. Regular maintenance can identify potential problems early, preventing more significant issues down the line.
• If you notice significant wear or damage, seek professional help immediately to avoid further deterioration.

Engraving Maintenance

• Engravings can fade over time due to daily wear. To maintain their clarity, consider having them re-engraved by a professional jeweler when necessary.
• Handle engraved areas with care to prevent premature fading.

General Tips for Signet Ring Care

• Always remove your ring before applying lotions, perfumes, or hair products, as these can tarnish metals and affect gemstones.
• Avoid exposing your ring to extreme temperatures or environments with harsh conditions, such as beaches or water parks.
• Use a lint-free cloth to periodically polish the surface and restore its shine.

By incorporating these care practices into your routine, your Invictus signet ring will remain a cherished piece of jewelry that can be passed down through generations.
