CARE INSTRUCTIONS

Your ring is crafted to last a lifetime, but proper care is essential to maintain its appearance, strength, and detail.

Different materials require different levels of care. Please read the guidelines below carefully.

GENERAL RING CARE

To keep your ring in excellent condition:

  • Remove your ring during heavy manual work
  • Avoid exposure to harsh chemicals
  • Take off before cleaning, swimming, or using cleaning products
  • Store safely when not in use
  • Clean regularly using mild soap and warm water
  • Dry completely before storing

MATERIAL CARE GUIDE

TUNGSTEN CARE

Tungsten is highly durable and scratch-resistant, but not indestructible.

  • Extremely scratch-resistant, but can still chip or crack under strong impact
  • Avoid dropping on hard surfaces
  • Do not attempt resizing (tungsten cannot be resized)
  • Clean with mild soap and soft cloth

METEORITE CARE

Meteorite is a natural iron-based material that requires protection from moisture.

  • Keep away from water exposure when possible
  • Dry immediately if it gets wet
  • Avoid harsh chemicals and perfumes
  • Store in a dry environment to prevent oxidation
  • Occasional natural patina is normal

WOOD CARE (Whiskey Barrel / Natural Wood)

Wood inlays are organic and sensitive to moisture and heat.

  • Avoid prolonged water exposure
  • Do not soak or submerge
  • Keep away from extreme heat or humidity
  • Apply occasional light polishing with a dry cloth
  • Store in a dry, cool place

RESIN / INLAY CARE

Resin and inlay materials are durable but should still be treated with care.

  • Avoid sharp impacts or pressure
  • Keep away from strong chemicals and solvents
  • Clean with a soft cloth only
  • Avoid prolonged UV exposure to prevent discoloration

CLEANING INSTRUCTIONS

For all rings:

  • Use warm water + mild soap
  • Gently clean with a soft cloth or toothbrush
  • Rinse thoroughly
  • Dry completely before wearing or storing

❌ Do not use:

  • Harsh cleaners
  • Bleach or ammonia
  • Ultrasonic cleaners (for mixed-material rings)

STORAGE GUIDELINES

Proper storage helps preserve your ring:

  • Store in a soft pouch or jewelry box
  • Keep separate from other jewelry to avoid scratches
  • Avoid humid environments (especially for wood and meteorite rings)

CHEMICAL EXPOSURE WARNING

Avoid contact with:

  • Cleaning products
  • Chlorine and pool chemicals
  • Strong detergents
  • Perfumes and colognes
  • Industrial solvents

Chemical exposure can damage finishes, inlays, and natural materials over time.

GYM & WORK WARNING

We strongly recommend removing your ring during:

  • Weightlifting or heavy gym workouts
  • Construction or manual labor
  • Mechanical work or tool handling
  • High-impact activities

This helps prevent:

  • Scratches
  • Impact damage
  • Finger injury
  • Material cracking or chipping

FINAL CARE REMINDER

Your ring is built for everyday wear, but not for extreme abuse.

Proper care ensures it stays beautiful, strong, and meaningful for years to come.
