What is the best way to care for and maintain a platinum wedding ring purchased from Birmingham's Jewellery Quarter?

To preserve the lustre and integrity of a platinum wedding ring from Birmingham’s Jewellery Quarter, proper care and maintenance are crucial. Platinum, while exceptionally durable and resistant to tarnishing, can still develop a patina over time. This natural ageing process is usually appreciated for its unique character, but for those who prefer the original shine, regular cleaning and expert advice are vital.

Begin your care routine by cleaning the ring at home with a solution of mild soap and warm water. Gently scrub with a soft-bristled toothbrush to remove dirt and oils. Ensure thorough rinsing and drying with a lint-free cloth to prevent water spots. It’s best to perform this simple cleaning every couple of weeks, depending on wear and exposure to dirt or chemicals.

For deeper cleaning, occasional professional services are recommended. As an existing client, S. C. Quance offers you personalised aftercare support. We can professionally polish your ring, restoring its surface to a like-new condition, and conduct thorough inspections to ensure there are no loose settings or wear that could compromise the ring’s structure.

Consider also protecting your platinum ring by removing it during activities involving harsh chemicals or abrasive materials, like cleaning or gardening. Store it separately when not worn, ideally in the original box or a soft pouch, to avoid scratches from other jewellery pieces. Insuring your ring against loss or damage is another wise step to ensure its long-term wellbeing.

Finally, take advantage of our remodelling services if you ever wish to refresh the design without compromising the sentimental value.
