A well-made ring will last decades. Most damage we see is avoidable.
Take it off for…
Weightlifting, gardening, dishwashing with harsh detergents, applying hand cream, swimming in chlorinated pools. Soap builds up a film that makes diamonds look dull — that is 90% of "my diamond looks dead" complaints.
Clean it at home
Warm water + a drop of mild dish soap + a soft toothbrush, once a week. Rinse, pat dry. No ultrasonic unless we have told you your stone can handle it (opal, pearl, emerald cannot).
Check the prongs
Once a year, look at the center stone under a strong light. If a prong looks bent or the stone tilts, send it back — retipping is cheap, losing a stone is not.
Insurance
Tell your home insurance company. A $4,000 ring costs almost nothing to schedule, and it is the difference between grief and a replacement if it leaves your finger at a hotel.

Frequently Asked Questions
What ring sizes can you supply in bulk?
US sizes 5–12 including half sizes. Send a size breakdown with your order and we cast to that curve; comfort-fit inner bands reduce resize requests.
Can I order a mixed size run instead of one size?
Yes. Mixed runs are standard for wholesale: specify quantity per size and we pack and label by size at no extra labor cost.
What is the MOQ for custom ring designs?
50 pieces per design for existing molds; 100–300 pieces when a new mold or CAD model is required.
How should I price rings for retail margin?
Most partners use a 3–4x markup on FOB cost for sterling and 2.5–3x for moissanite solos, which keeps landed cost under 30% of retail.
