Caring for Your Elongated Hexagon Engagement Ring: Tips for Lasting Shine and Strength
Your engagement ring is a lifelong treasure — here’s how to care for it, whether it’s moissanite, lab diamond, natural diamond, or salt & pepper diamond.
General Care Tips
-
Clean regularly with mild soap and warm water.
-
Avoid harsh chemicals and extreme temperatures.
-
Remove rings during heavy work or sports.
-
Store separately in soft pouches to avoid scratches.
Special Care for Moissanite
Moissanite is tough but can develop minor scratches over time. Gentle cleaning and occasional professional polishing will keep it radiant.
Lab Diamond Care
Lab diamonds have the same hardness as natural diamonds but still benefit from regular cleaning to maintain their sparkle.
Salt & Pepper Diamond Care
Salt and pepper diamonds have natural inclusions that add character. Clean gently, avoid ultrasonic cleaners if inclusions are fragile, and inspect periodically for chips.
Maintaining Your Hand-Hammered Band
The textured finish is beautiful and unique. To preserve it, avoid abrasive cleaners and consider professional cleaning and re-texturing every few years.
