Anyone who wears an engagement or wedding ring all the time, knows that they can sometimes suffer as a result of conditions. You might be wondering what can damage gold, silver or platinum, depending on what your ring is made of. Salt and chlorine, in particular, can damage expensive jewellery. When you swim in the sea or a pool, you are advised to take your jewellery off.
Chlorine and saltwater can damage your jewellery, including gold, silver, diamonds, and gemstones. Chlorine can cause discolouration and weaken metals, while saltwater can erode soldered parts and stain diamonds, making them dull. To avoid damage, remove your engagement ring when swimming. Regular cleaning and professional checks can help maintain your jewellery's condition.
White gold is rhodium-plated for added protection, and to achieve that distinctive white sheen. That layer of rhodium is vulnerable, so you have to take care with rough surfaces, alcohol and other corrosive cleaning agents.

Dry your jewellery with a soft towel. If your white gold jewellery is set with diamonds or gemstones, take special care with the brush so as not to damage the stone.

It is a good idea to clean your necklace regularly to keep it looking bright and beautiful. Do not use harsh detergents. Simply mix a little spirit vinegar with lukewarm water in a bowl.
