  1. How to Protect Your Engagement Rings from Hand Sanitizer and Soaps

  2. Effect of Soaps and Sanitisers on Diamonds Diamonds are one of the strongest substances on our planet. For this very reason, they don't crack or break when subjected to frequent exposure to chemicals in soaps of hand sanitisers. Nonetheless, a hand sanitiser with a high alcohol content can form a filmy layer on your diamonds. This can be washed off quite easily. But when the diamond is subjected to too many chemicals, its sparkle can decrease in the long run. Additionally, too much washing or rubbing can loosen the grip of the claws supporting your diamond and keeping it in place, thereby messing up the ring setting. Another common effect of sanitisers and soaps is that they may leave residues in the fine gaps in your diamond ring that might affect the overall look of your ring and make it seem worn out.  www.alldiamonds.com.au | (03) 9523 6603

  3. Effects of Soaps and Sanitisers on Metals of Your Ring Hand Wash and body soaps usually have no effect on the metal of your engagement ring. Nevertheless, something as strong as a lava soap can cause cracking or reactions. On the other hand, sanitisers, whether alcoholic or non-alcoholic, play a huge role in wearing off metals in the long run. Alcoholic sanitisers may contain a very high incidence of alcohol while non-alcoholic versions may consist of chlorine. Both of these affect the ring metal badly. www.alldiamonds.com.au | (03) 9523 6603

  4. Effective Prevention Measures for Your Engagement Ring Taking it Off One of the ways to extend the life of your engagement ring is by taking it off when applying sanitizers or soap and putting it back on once your hand is dry. This will prevent your precious commodity from getting exposed to chemicals and prevent your diamond from long term dullness of brilliance and lack of lustre. However, if you follow a busy schedule, remembering to take off your ring each time you clean your hands might get cumbersome. www.alldiamonds.com.au | (03) 9523 6603

  5. Effective Prevention Measures for Your Engagement Ring Choosing the Right Product As per the hygiene standards directed by WHO, a sanitiser having 60% alcohol content or more can keep viruses at bay. Choosing a sanitiser that has alcohol content within the range of 60-62% will have negligible effect on your ring. Additionally, it is prime to avoid using a lava soap as any normal soap will work perfectly in preventing diseases if you wash your hands properly for 20 seconds. www.alldiamonds.com.au | (03) 9523 6603

  6. Effective Prevention Measures for Your Engagement Ring Thorough Ring Cleaning If you have an ultrasonic cleaner, you can put your engagement ring and other fine diamond jewellery in it two to three times a week. Although, not everyone may have this equipment. In such cases, soaking your ring in a solution of unscented soap/ dishwasher soap and warm water a few times a week will work just as well. www.alldiamonds.com.au | (03) 9523 6603

  7. Effective Prevention Measures for Your Engagement Ring Avoiding to Wear the Ring Another possible solution to avoid damage to your engagement ring amidst the current COVID 19 crisis is to keep your diamond ring, pendants, earrings and more locked up. You can start wearing these again once the pandemic is dealt with. While this may cause some emotional distress to keep your precious ring locked away, it is the safest solution www.alldiamonds.com.au | (03) 9523 6603
