Jewellery Care
Ring Care
Your cherished rings have been meticulously designed and expertly crafted to stand the test of time. However, engagement and wedding rings, while enduring, are not impervious to wear. To preserve the brilliance and integrity of your special pieces, it’s essential to handle them with care and avoid situations that could cause damage. Follow our thoughtfully curated care guide to ensure your treasured TMC pieces remain as beautiful as the day they became yours.
Storing Your Ring
It can be tempting to slip your ring off and place it nearby, but this habit increases the risk of misplacing or damaging your treasured piece. To keep your ring secure, we recommend using our TMC ring box or pouch. Thoughtfully designed to protect your jewellery, it ensures your pieces remain protected, whilst at home or travelling. Please remove and store your ring before sleeping to prevent unintended pressure on the setting.
At-Home Cleaning
Maintaining the radiance of your ring is simple with regular at-home care. To keep your piece as brilliant as the day it became yours, we recommend a gentle cleaning routine approximately once a week. Follow the easy, step-by-step guide available here to ensure your ring is well maintained for a lifetime of love.
Professional Cleaning & Servicing
We offer complimentary lifetime ring servicing. Included in this service, our jewellers will deep clean and polish your ring as well as conduct a thorough inspection. If required, we will also re-tip your prongs to ensure they remain strong and secure. Rhodium plating is also offered at an additional cost and ensures your white gold ring retains its radiant and lustrous appearance.
Exercising and Wearing Your Ring
While your ring is crafted to last, we recommend removing it during exercise to protect it from potential damage. Activities at the gym can lead to scratching, denting, or even misshaping your ring. By taking off your ring before exercising, you reduce the risk of accidental damage and prevent the chance of misplacing it during workouts. For peace of mind, store your ring safely in your TMC ring box or pouch whenever it’s not being worn.
Swimming
We recommend removing your rings before swimming in both the ocean and pools. Repeated exposure to natural elements, such as saltwater, or chemicals like chlorine can tarnish the metal and diminish your ring’s lustrous finish over time. Additionally, swimming can cause significant fluctuations in body temperature, which may cause your fingers to shrink. This increases the risk of your ring slipping off unnoticed, particularly in colder water. To preserve the brilliance and security of your cherished piece, store it safely before taking a dip.
Cleaning and Household Duties
To protect your rings, we recommend removing them before cleaning or working with any chemicals. Certain substances can react with the precious metals, potentially altering their appearance, and repeated exposure may dull the brilliance of your stone. Chemicals trapped beneath the setting over time can cause long-term damage if not addressed. By taking a moment to remove your ring during household tasks, you help ensure it retains its beauty for a lifetime.
Gardening
Gardening can be a rewarding pastime, but it’s not ideal for your ring. Soil can unnecessarily dirty your piece, and there’s always the risk of misplacing it in the grass, garden beds, or pots. Even if you plan to wear gloves, particles can still find their way into the setting, potentially causing wear over time. To keep your cherished pieces in pristine condition, we recommend removing your rings and storing them securely before you decide to garden.
Jewellery Insurance
Your precious ring is one of a kind. One of the greatest ways to care for your ring is through arranging independent jewellery insurance. Here at TMC, we recommend Q Report Jewellery Insurance. Undertaking insurance as such will be the best way to protect your fine jewellery for anything that is not covered in our Limited Lifetime Warranty. Please be aware that the above information is simply a guide and we recommend you undertake your own research and establish an understanding of the right insurance for you and your financial situation.

Follow our care guide to ensure your treasured pieces remain as radiant as the day they became yours.
Storing Your Fine Jewellery

We recommend using our TMC box or pouch, designed to keep your pieces secure and pristine. These storage solutions are ideal for protecting your jewellery both at home and while travelling.

When In Doubt, Take It Off
If you’re ever unsure, it’s always best to remove your jewellery. Activities such as swimming, gardening, exercising, showering, sleeping or even preparing meals can expose your jewellery to unnecessary risks, including loss or damage. Additionally, certain tasks can cause debris and buildup around your jewellery, diminishing its lustrous shine. Protect your pieces by storing them safely whenever you’re in doubt.
Cleaning and Household Duties
We recommend removing your fine jewellery during cleaning or when working with chemicals of any kind. Exposure to harsh substances can react with the precious metals, potentially altering their appearance, and, over time, debris or chemicals trapped beneath the setting may dull the brilliance of your stones. By taking off your jewellery during household tasks, you help ensure your pieces will last a lifetime.
