We've been in the press : discover our tips for preserving your engagement ring over the summer!
On the occasion of an article on vacation engagement rings, 20 Minutes (Swiss/German edition) journalist Malin Mueller interviewed us on the subject in her article published on July 31, 2024.
With summer and outdoor activities in full swing, the purchase of a second “fake” engagement ring is an emerging trend in North America in particular. This is a replica of the engagement ring, made from non-precious materials, whose eventual loss will not sadden the lovers. In fact, it's quite common to lose your ring during the summer vacations ! Be particularly careful when swimming : the temperature of the water and the pressure exerted on the skin cause the finger to shrink. It's not uncommon for rings to slip off the finger at this time, and retrieving them from the sea can be extremely complicated.
As an ethical jewelry store, we don't advocate over-consumption, and therefore the purchase of multiple engagement rings. That's why we've given Mrs. Mueller a few tips on how to preserve your engagement ring, so you can enjoy the season to the full !
Here are five essential tips for preserving the beauty and security of your precious engagement ring :
- Wear your ring as a pendant : For outdoor activities such as rock climbing, consider slipping your ring onto an elegant chain to wear around your neck. This solution combines safety and style, while protecting your jewel from the risks associated with your adventures.
- Protect it before you dive : During your aquatic escapades, whether for a swim or a dive, it's highly advisable to leave your ring in your hotel room safe, if possible. That way, you'll avoid any risk of losing it in the deep.
- Keep it on when washing your hands : When washing your hands, it's best to keep your ring on your finger. This will prevent any unfortunate accidents, such as your jewel falling down the drain.
- Secure it with a fitted ring : For added security, place a tighter ring in front of your engagement ring. This extra ring will act as a barrier, preventing your ring from slipping off.
- Take out insurance : Finally, we strongly recommend insuring your ring against theft, loss or damage. This will give you invaluable peace of mind, knowing that your jewel is protected in all circumstances.
By opting for these tips, you can enhance your summer adventures while honoring responsible luxury. Rather than succumb to the frenzy of a double purchase, opt for lasting elegance. That way, your engagement ring stays true to its promise, without compromise or excess.
