The cost of jewelry upkeep and protection is reduced with CZ: insurance costs are avoided or significantly reduced. However, any ring you own is a treasured possession. Caring for it properly will secure it and keep it looking its absolute best.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Cleaning your ring<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Much of the natural beauty of your ring arises from its clarity. However, clarity is reduced by the gradual accrual of hand lotion, skin oil, and any grime you encounter on a day-to-day basis.<\/p>\n<p>Clearly you want to be sure to use cleaning solutions that do not cause any degradation of your ring. The at-home, professional-grade <a href=\"https:\/\/www.birkatelyon.com\/sparklespa.asp\" class=\"broken_link\">option we recommend<\/a> incorporates two components: the Sparkle Spa Pro Ultrasonic Cleaner and the Sparkle Pak Cleaning Solution. The former uses ultrasonic sound waves to remove any foreign substances, refreshing your ring\u2019s look and feel. The latter is a non-ammoniated cleaning solution that makes ring-cleaning quick and simple.<\/p>\n<p>If you want to cut your costs, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.marthastewartweddings.com\/229012\/caring-your-engagement-and-wedding-rings\/@center\/352355\/engagement-ring-101\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" class=\"broken_link\">Martha Stewart Weddings<\/a> suggests cleaning the ring with a soft-bristled toothbrush, mild dish detergent, and lukewarm water. You may have heard that a 50\/50 solution of ammonia and cold water can be used for 30 minutes of soaking, but note that method should only be used with diamonds.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Removing your ring<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s wise to remove your ring whenever you are involved in anything that involves intensive use of your hands. You also don\u2019t want your hands to get soaked, as when swimming or washing dishes: saturation causes the tissues of your fingers to shrink, enabling the ring to slip off unnoticed.<\/p>\n<p>Place the ring in a safe spot, even if performing household chores. For instance, you can place it in a cupboard when doing dishes, so long as you remember not to set a dish on top of it. So that you don\u2019t have to worry about accidental damage or misplacing the ring, it\u2019s best to use a discreet location. The obvious option is a jewelry box. If you are traveling and preparing for physical activity, ask the hotel to put it in their safe.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Choosing your ring<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Many consumers on the market for rings are turning away from diamonds and toward cubic zirconia jewelry. When a jeweler is selected that has <a href=\"https:\/\/www.birkatelyon.com\/blog\/the-birkat-elyon-difference-a-closer-look-at-how-our-cz-jewelry-is-made\/\">high standards<\/a> \u2013 hand-cutting, hand-polishing, and exclusive use of Russian Formula CZ \u2013 the recipient gets a ring that expertly mimics the look of a real diamond at an affordable price.<\/p>\n<p>By <a href=\"https:\/\/plus.google.com\/u\/0\/102727328455346547569?rel=author\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Kent Roberts\u00a0 <\/a><\/p>\n<!-- AddThis Advanced Settings generic via filter on the_content --><!-- AddThis Share Buttons generic via filter on the_content -->","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>All types of rings, including diamonds and cubic zirconia (CZ), require ongoing maintenance so that they continue to shine and sparkle for years to come.
