Despite not being quite as strong as diamonds, sapphires remain an excellent choice for an engagement ring because they are hard enough to withstand the wear and tear of everyday life. As with any piece of fine jewelry, designer Melanie Casey recommends removing your sapphire ring when sleeping, showering, or swimming. You should also remove your sapphire engagement ring when working with chemicals of any kind, including cleaning products. If engaging in an activity that could potentially damage your ring, like yardwork, exercising, or lifting heavy objects, it’s best to remove your sapphire ring. We also know life happens.

Regularly cleaning your sapphire engagement ring is clearly a great way to keep it sparkling! But did you know regular cleanings also maintain the strength and quality of your sapphire ring? When debris gets caught, it acts as microscopic sandpaper that will wear away at sapphire engagement rings over time. By cleaning your sapphire ring regularly, you ensure it not only looks its best, but also stays in tip-top shape! Designer Melanie Casey recommends cleaning your sapphire engagement ring, and any other fine jewelry for that matter, about once a week. 

So, what’s the best way to clean a sapphire engagement ring? The most basic way to clean your fine jewelry is with warm water, gentle soap (we recommend blue dish soap), and a soft toothbrush. But an ultrasonic jewelry cleaner will take this basic approach to another level. This small machine packs a punch, removing dirt and grime from hard-to-reach places like between the prongs of a sapphire ring. Perfect for at-home use, this machine uses no chemicals, only water, a touch of dish soap, and ultrasonic vibration to bring like-new sparkle to your fine jewelry!
