Should you shower with your engagement ring on?

No. Just as you should remove your ring before applying lotion or other cosmetics, you should also remove your ring before showering. While your favourite body wash or shampoo may seem harmless, they could cause grimy buildup on or even to contribute to the deterioration of your ring.

Can I wash dishes with my engagement ring?

Will my engagement ring lose its sparkle?
