Learn with Sethi: Traveling this Summer? Clean Your Jewelry On the Go

Cleaning Stacks by Sethi Couture

Your rings could use some extra love this summer. When traveling or out on a summer vacation, lotions and sunscreen are prone to finding their way into the crevices of your rings. When you are on the go and can’t make it in to us for a routine cleaning, we recommend three easy ways to protect and clean your rings and bring back that beloved sparkle. We'll share quick and effective cleaning solutions for your Sethi stacking rings and other jewelry items that you can easily do at home or on the go. 

1. Protect Your Rings While Traveling

Ensure the longevity of your rings with this travel hack. Invest in a small, purpose-built pouch or travel case that provides individual slots or compartments to keep your rings separate: the goal is to prevent your jewelry items from scraping against each other.  You can also reuse cloth jewelry pouches to safely store and keep rings separated.

2. Swim with Confidence

Generally speaking, we do not recommend wearing your rings while swimming in the ocean or in a pool... chlorine, saltwater, and sand can be harsh on these precious metals and stones. Of course, we understand that life happens, leaving sand and other debris to find their way into your coveted Sethi pieces. No matter where you are, we have an easy recipe that will bring back the sparkle and shine to your favorite rings. With simple ingredients and easy-to-follow steps, you'll have your rings looking as good as new in no time.

First, gather the right tools for cleaning. You will need dish soap, a soft brush, and a small bowl.

  • Step 1: Add small amount of dish-washing soap to bowl
  • Step 2: Add warm water to bowl
  • Step 3: Add rings to bowl with warm, soapy water and allow to soak for 1 minute
  • Step 4: Give rings a gentle brushing
  • Step 5: Rinse and repeat as needed!

Make sure to rinse your rings thoroughly with clean, fresh water immediately after swimming. After rinsing your rings, dab off excess water, then allow the rings to air dry completely before wearing them again or storing them.

3. Make Your Rings Shine for Any Event

Last but not least, if you are looking to go the extra mile: utilize baking soda for a deep clean. Baking soda is mild enough to use on metals and diamonds. We recommend creating a solution using baking soda, warm water, and dish soap:

  • 1 cup warm water
  • 1 - 2 tsp (4.8 - 9.6 g) baking soda
  • Squirt of dish soap

Soak your jewelry for 20 minutes in the solution. Then, scrub gently with a brush. Rinse your jewelry clean with running, cool water, making sure to remove all baking soda residue. Dab off excess water and allow the rings to air dry completely before wearing them again or storing them.
