Low Maintenance Jewelry

Perfect for those with a busy (or active) lifestyle, low-maintenance jewelry requires minimal effort to keep it looking flawless. If you opt for a low-care design, here’s everything you need to know to make sure it sparkles for years to come:

› Annual Professional Inspection

The minimum requirements for low-care designs are professional inspections on an annual basis (every 12 months) for maintenance, cleaning, and prong re-tightening.

› Routine Cleaning & Care

Just like any other fine jewelry, it is normal for oils and lotions to build up on the surface of your ring. We suggest washing your engagement ring regularly at home and getting it professionally cleaned once a year.

› Jewelry Insurance

Since fine jewelry is a precious investment, you should protect it against loss, theft, and any incidental damage by getting jewelry insurance. This can be done through your homeowner’s policy or through a jewelry insurance company such as Jewelers Mutual.

Medium Maintenance Jewelry

Some engagement rings and settings require a bit more attention to maintain their brilliance, such as those with multiple small stones or delicate features. If your fine jewelry falls into the medium-care category, here’s how to protect your precious investment:

› Biannual Professional Inspection

For medium-care designs, we recommend performing professional inspections on a biannual basis (every 6 months) for maintenance, inspection, and prong re-tightening.

› Routine Cleaning & Care

Complete a weekly at-home cleaning and care routine on medium-care designs to remove any buildup from everyday wear and ensure your ring is shining its brightest.

Remember to remove your engagement ring when engaging in physical activity and manual labor, such as sleeping, exercising, showering, swimming, and even applying cosmetics.

High Maintenance Jewelry

Jewelry with intricate settings or multiple gemstones requires special attention to stay in pristine condition. Choosing a high-maintenance jewelry design means dedicating extra care to keep it looking flawless. Be prepared to commit to the following:

› Quarterly Professional Inspection

High-maintenance jewelry requires routine professional inspections (every 3-4 months) for maintenance, inspection, and prong re-tightening.

We offer complimentary professional cleanings & inspections with every Zen Moissanite purchase. Please contact us to submit your request and to fill out our Return Form.

› Routine Cleaning & Care

As with all fine jewelry worn regularly, routine cleaning and care are recommended to keep it looking its best. Complete weekly at-home cleanings (use warm water and a mild soap, or your favorite jewelry cleaner) and perform regular inspections.

Pro Tip: When removing your jewelry before bed, it’s a good idea to store your engagement ring in a separate space or lined jewelry box to avoid any damage.
