Diamond Engagement Ring Safety Guide~Indoors

One of the most important pieces of jewellery a woman will ever own is her diamond engagement ring. It will not only be of high cost value to her, the diamond engagement ring will also be of enormous sentimental value as well. Taking the proper precautions to ensure the diamond engagement ring stays safe, both inside the home as well as out in public, should be a top priority.

One of the most important things to know about your diamond engagement ring is when you shouldn't be wearing it. While many women feel that their diamond engagement ring should never be removed form their finger, they are mistaken and may potentially be causing their diamond engagement ring more harm than good. There are, in fact, several scenarios during which the diamond engagement ring should be taken off.

In the kitchen, the diamond engagement ring should never be worn while doing dishes or other extended chores that take place in or near the sink. Washing dishes, for one, put the diamond engagement ring in contact with many harsh chemicals and detergents that are in dish soap, potentially leading to discolouration of the diamond engagement ring or a dull residue build-up which will hide the true beauty of the diamond engagement ring itself. Even without soaps involved, working in or near the sink can potentially increase the chance of rings falling off and going down the drain. If you must wear your diamond engagement ring while doing dishes or working near the sink, make sure you have gloves on that will properly shield the diamond engagement ring from harm. If you choose to remove your rings, make sure you have a safe place to keep them, such as a small bowl or other container, preferably one with a lid. Just make sure the diamond engagement ring is not being kept somewhere where it could still potentially be knocked into the sink and fall down the drain.

In the bathroom, the same basic rules apply that help keep your diamond engagement ring from being overly exposed to chemical products. This means the diamond engagement ring should be removed prior to bathing, when colouring your hair, or even when washing your hands with more than just a splash of water. Another precaution that can be taken in both the kitchen and bathroom is ensuring al drains have a strainer cover that will prevent large objects, such as a diamond engagement ring, from falling down the drain. With both rooms, the diamond engagement ring should also be removed before undertaking any general cleaning tasks.

If you're working in the garden or lawn, your diamond engagement ring is most likely better off staying indoors. Not only does yard work subject the diamond engagement ring to tremendous amounts of dirt, the physical labour involved makes it very easy to overlook the fact that your diamond engagement ring may have just fallen off your finger and into a potted plant, never to be seen again. Even when using gardening gloves, the diamond engagement ring is still safer indoors. There is often a great sense of relief and accomplishments when it comes time to take off the gardening gloves and, depending on the fit of the gloves and the diamond engagement ring, it may not be all that uncommon to remove the diamond engagement ring as well as the glove.

If you happen to have an antique diamond engagement ring, or one that is simply too valuable to be worn on a daily basis, there are some tips to keep in mind when storing the diamond engagement ring. Contrary to popular belief, the diamond engagement ring should never be stored in a jewellery box. During a burglary, one of the first things a thief will go for is small jewellery boxes that are easy to grab and easy to carry. While keeping your diamond engagement ring and other valuable jewellery in a nice organized jewellery box may seem like a nice idea, it significantly increases the likelihood of having a thief be abe to grab some of your most expensive valuables in a matter of seconds. A diamond engagement ring should be kept somewhere out of the way hen not being worn. Many experts recommend false panels in dresser drawers, tucked away out of reach in a closet, or even hidden in a decoy item. This could be anything from a bottle of vitamins in the medicine cabinet to a hollow book on the bookshelf. Just be careful not to hide the diamond engagement ring in anything that may be of value to a thief, such as a prescription bottle or antique looking book.
