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.
Tungsten carbide
- Tungsten carbide is very hard, so it resists most everyday scratches. That hardness also makes it brittle: a hard knock or a drop onto tiles or stone can crack it, so take care around hard surfaces.
- Black, gunmetal and other coloured finishes are plated onto the surface and can slowly wear where the ring rubs most. Avoid abrasive cleaners, polishing compounds and harsh chemicals such as bleach.
Paua shell
- Paua is a natural shell, so avoid soaking it and keep it away from chemicals, perfume and cleaning products.
- Take your ring off for the gym and hands-on work to protect the inlay from knocks.
Cleaning & everyday care
Cleaning: wipe gently with a soft cloth dampened with warm water, then dry straight away. Don't soak or rinse your ring.
- 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.
