It is a common phenomenon to treat rings, especially diamond rings, like casual wear. It's not because we undermine the value of the ring. Instead, it's the lazy feeling that comes with occasionally removing it and wearing it later, which may eventually cause you to lose it. Therefore, more often than not, people tend to wear them at any instance or at times refuse to remove them. These actions can prove to be detrimental for the owner. Why? Because rings can be affected if subjected to certain unfavorable conditions unknown by the owner.
Can wearing a diamond ring in the shower affect it?
The answer is in the affirmative. Although we consider diamonds to be tough, they are negatively affected by soaps. Therefore, while taking a shower, the interaction between exfoliating properties in soaps and diamonds slowly but steadily causes them to wear out. While you may not notice the change instantly, with time, the diamond ring will occasion a rare kind of wear and tear.
What about Beauty Products?
Soaps are not the only substances that can be detrimental to your diamond ring. Hairs and skin products that you apply on your body after taking a shower at times lead to a cloudy formation on your diamond ring. The dirty build-up on your diamond ring can prove very hard to clean if you want to make it sparkling clean.
What should you do?
If you seek to get the best out of your diamond ring, it is imperative to avoid any contact between your ring and soapy or cosmetic products. You can achieve this by removing the ring before taking a shower. Where you find it difficult to wash it, consider buying a cleaner that will help you clean your diamond rings. Alternatively, you can consult jewelry shops which can offer to replace it.
