Summer is all about sunshine, vacations, and outdoor adventures, but if you’re newly engaged, the season also presents unique challenges for your engagement ring.

From beach trips to backyard barbecues, your Rolex watches Turks and Caicos faces plenty of potential risks that could dull its shine or even cause damage.

Fortunately, with a few simple precautions, you can keep your ring safe and looking as stunning as the day you said “yes.” Here are the most common summer hazards for engagement rings and how to protect yours.

Swimming: A Risky Splash

Your Aruba jewelry store will tell you that nothing more refreshing than jumping into a pool or the ocean on a hot day, but doing so with your engagement ring on is a major mistake.

Chlorine Damage

Pools and hot tubs contain chlorine, which can weaken the structure of gold and other precious metals over time.

Risk of Losing Your Ring

Cold water can make your fingers shrink, making it easier for your ring to slip off without you even noticing. Always remove your ring before taking a dip and store it in a secure, designated place.

Sunscreen and Lotion Buildup

When luxury shopping in Aruba, sunscreen is a must-have in the summer, but it can wreak havoc on your engagement ring.

Residue and Dullness

Sunscreen and lotions don’t damage gold, platinum, or diamonds, but they do create a film that makes your ring appear cloudy.

Dirt and Grime Magnet

Sticky residue attracts dust and debris, making your ring look dull and dirty much faster. Apply sunscreen first, wash your hands thoroughly, and then put your ring back on once your skin is dry.

The Dangers of the Beach

The beach is one of the most hazardous places for fine jewelry, thanks to sand, saltwater, and vast open spaces.

Sand Scratches

Sand is an abrasive material that can scratch softer metals and get stuck in small crevices.

Losing Your Ring in the Ocean

If your ring slips off in the water, chances are you’ll never find it again.

The Fix

Leave your ring at home or in a secure location before heading to the beach. If you must wear it, consider using a silicone ring cover for protection.

In Summary

Your engagement ring is one of your most treasured possessions, so taking extra precautions during the summer is essential.

Whether you're swimming, applying sunscreen, or cooking up a feast, a little extra care goes a long way in keeping your ring sparkling and secure.
