Titanium Rings - Care, Cleaning & Polishing
Ring Care
Titanium, like any metal, can scratch. Protect your titanium ring by removing it during activities that may subject it to abrasion or hard knocks. A hard blow can also chip gemstones and even diamonds.
Safety
For your safety, never wear any type of ring around open machinery or electrical equipment, or while participating in physical sports and activities.
High Polished Rings
Minor scratches in polished titanium or precious metals can be removed with a cream metal polish. We recommend using Flitz cream metal polish applied with a soft towel. Use liquid dish soap to remove the polish residue.
Satin Finish Rings
Rub a satin finished ring with a fine nylon Scotch Brite pad to restore the soft brushed finish. Do not rub the pad over anodized color surfaces, as it will damage the color.
Precious Metal Inlays
Gold, silver and platinum inlays are very easy to keep looking beautiful for years to come. Their worst enemy, however, is chlorine. Keep your inlaid ring away from chlorinated cleaning products, swimming pools and Jacuzzis.
Stone Set Rings
Dirt, skin oils and soaps tend to work underneath diamonds and gemstones. To clean the stone, make a half-and-half solution of cold water and household ammonia in a cup. Soak the ring for 30 minutes, and then drain on tissue paper. Also you can use one of the brand-name liquid jewelry cleaners.
Color Anodized Rings
Skin oil, soap residue, and other contaminates can temporarily alter, fade or dull the optically created color on anodized rings. To restore the original vibrant color, soak your anodized ring with an ammonia glass cleaner, such as Windex. Soak the ring with Windex for three minutes, then rise in warm water and allow to air dry. If the ring has not been cleaned recently you may need to repeat the process.
Avoid scratching the anodized surface on color titanium rings. Do not wash with cleaners containing abrasives. Abrasives remove the oxide layer and damage the color.
