Can I shower with my engagement ring on

Once you're able to stop staring at your shiny new engagement ring, questions like these seem to pop up left and right.

When it comes to engagement ring cleaning & care, let us be your guide. 

Can I Shower with My Engagement Ring On?

Can you? Yes.

Should you? No.

Just as you should remove your ring before applying lotion or other cosmetics, you should also remove your ring before showering.

While your favorite body wash or shampoo may seem harmless, they could cause grimy buildup on or even contribute to deterioration of your ring.

So, just take that ring off before sudsing up. Better safe than sorry.

But wait! Don't just set it on the counter. I don't know about you, but my cats + shiny object = ring down the drain.

Put it in a safe place outside the bathroom or invest in a jewelry holder to keep in the bathroom for this specific reason. If your ring or other jewelry falls victim to a bathroom drain, read the steps you can take to get it out.

P.S. - Don't forget about situations in which you may shower away from home. (Think gym locker room, friend's house after a pool party, etc.) Here are a few simple and cost-effective ways to store your jewelry on-the-go.

You might be wondering if you can wash your hands with your ring on. Yes! As long as your ring(s) are sized correctly to your fingers, washing your hands with gentle soap is considered safe.

Proper care is just one way to keep your engagement ring safe. You can protect your investment further by obtaining personal jewelry insurance through Jewelers Mutual. It’s an affordable option that covers loss, damage, and disappearances. You can check your rate by clicking the button below.
