Caring for your ring
A little care goes a long way. Here's how to look after the materials in this ring so it keeps looking its best.
Damascus steel
- Damascus steel gets its pattern from layers of steel forged together. Like most steels, it can discolour or rust if it's left wet.
- Take your ring off before swimming, showering, washing up or household cleaning, and keep it away from chlorine, salt water and household chemicals.
- If it does get wet, dry it thoroughly straight away.
- Every so often, rub a thin layer of mineral oil into the steel with a soft cloth, then buff off the excess to help protect it.
Natural wood
- Wood is a natural material, so take your ring off before swimming, showering, washing up or anything that soaks your hands.
- Keep it away from harsh chemicals and perfume.
- Over time wood can dry out and its colour can mellow. A little beeswax wood polish every few months helps keep it nourished.
Cleaning & everyday care
Cleaning: wipe with a soft, dry cloth, like the cleaning cloth included with your order. Don't rinse or soak your ring, and if it does get wet, dry it straight away.
- Swap to the silicone ring included with your order for the gym, sport and hands-on work.
- Store your ring in its box, away from other jewellery, so nothing rubs or scratches it.
- Put on hand cream, sunscreen and perfume before your ring, and let them dry first.
