Proper care and feeding of rings?

[stormkeeper_lovedoris]

Does anyone on my f-list wear a ring? The rings that Doris and I picked out should be ready soon, and I've never worn a ring that had a precious stone in it. I've heard that I should take the ring off when I put hand lotion on. What about when I wash my hands?

When do you take your ring off? What should I be careful of?

Thank you - that was exactly the sort of advice I needed. I appreciate it!

The band is made of platinum.

Platinum is so much stronger than most metals, especially gold. You're set. I'd think you were good to go unless you were afraid of having the band slide off. You were sized in the summer, so keep an eye on the fit when the weather cools, but it shouldn't be that big a variation.

That's great to hear! And yeah, the guy at the store did warn us that our fingers swell just a bit when it's humid.
