Care & Wear Info

Natural spinel is an exceptionally durable gemstone, ranking 8 on the Mohs hardness scale (making it tougher than amethyst, tourmaline, or tanzanite). This excellent hardness makes it highly resistant to scratching and perfect for daily wear, though its artisan construction requires proper care:

• The "Last On, First Off" Rule: Always apply perfumes, skin lotions, makeup, hairsprays, and alcohol-based hand sanitizers before putting on your ring. Daily cosmetic chemicals can form a dull film over natural gemstone facets and accelerate tarnish on polished silver surfaces.

• Remove your ring before heavy gym workouts, sports, gardening, or heavy cleaning. While the spinel is incredibly tough, a sharp impact can scratch or dent the surrounding silver bezel.

• Always remove the ring before showering, swimming in chlorinated pools, or handling household cleaning solutions to prevent hard water minerals and soap residues from trapping under the stone basket.

• Never clean this artisan piece using automated ultrasonic cleaner tanks, steam machines, or harsh liquid commercial jewelry dips.

• To clean safely, soak the ring in room-temperature water with a single drop of mild dish soap. Lightly brush around the bezel wall and open under-gallery with an ultra-soft toothbrush, rinse thoroughly with clean water, and dry immediately. Follow up with a completely dry, soft microfiber jewelry cloth to polish the silver shank.

• Store the ring flat inside its own soft fabric pouch or separate jewelry box compartment to protect its custom facets from rubbing against harder stones like diamonds or sapphires.
