A cremation ring is worn daily by many people, which means it comes into contact with skin oils, household products, and everyday activity. Over time, even high-quality jewelry can lose its shine or show wear if it is not cared for correctly. Knowing how to clean and protect your ring helps preserve both its appearance and its meaning.Â
The good news is that proper care is simple, consistent, and does not require special tools or harsh cleaners.
All of our rings can be cared for in the same basic way. In most cases, a gentle cloth is enough to remove fingerprints or anything that has collected on the surface during normal wear.
We recommend a soft microfiber cloth for this purpose. Lightly wiping the surface helps keep the ring clean without affecting the metal or finish. This approach avoids unnecessary wear and keeps the process simple.
We consistently advise keeping jewelry care uncomplicated. There is no need for special cleaners or aggressive methods. A soft cloth used regularly is usually sufficient to maintain the ring’s appearance.
Pro Tip: A clean microfiber cloth used gently is the safest and most effective way to care for your jewelry.
There are specific situations where we ask that you take your ring off. These include activities that involve exposure to chemicals or heat, which can affect the surface of the metal.
Examples include:
These substances can tarnish the ring and, over time, affect the longevity of the piece.
Harsh household chemicals can react with metal surfaces. Even brief exposure, when repeated over time, can change the appearance of the ring and reduce how long it maintains its original finish.
Taking the ring off during these activities is a simple step that helps protect it long-term.
Key Takeaway: Removing your ring during exposure to heat and harsh chemicals helps prevent tarnishing and preserves longevity.

This variety allows customers to choose the metal that best fits their style.

This consistency matters for jewelry intended for regular wear and close skin contact.
One benefit of our designs is that they can all be cared for in the same way. The same gentle cloth method applies regardless of the metal type chosen.
This consistency makes care easier and helps owners feel confident that they are doing the right thing for their jewelry.
By keeping care simple and avoiding harsh conditions, you support the long-term condition of the piece. Small habits repeated over time make a meaningful difference in how the ring holds up.
