How to Care for Your Wedding Band
It's worn every single day — here's how to keep it looking new for decades.
Your wedding band sees more wear than any other piece of jewelry you own. A little routine care keeps it bright, secure, and beautiful for a lifetime. Here's how.
Clean it regularly
Soak in warm water with a drop of mild dish soap, gently brush with a soft toothbrush (especially behind any stones), rinse, and pat dry. Every couple of weeks keeps it sparkling.
Take it off at the right times
Remove your band for heavy lifting, gardening, cleaning with chemicals, and the gym — the main causes of scratches and knocks. Put it somewhere consistent so it's never misplaced.
Mind stone-set bands
If your band has pavé or eternity stones, check the settings occasionally and clean gently around them. See our pavé guide.
Occasional professional check
An occasional check-up lets a jeweler tighten settings and re-polish or re-plate as needed — keeping your band like new. For the stone-specific routine, see our Moissanite Care Guide.
