Developing an allergy to your wedding ring is a bit of an aggravation to say the least! It’s not an uncommon condition and if you have are prone to skin allergies, suffer from eczema or psoriasis or atopic dermatitis you are more at risk. But the fact is these annoying rashes are known to flare up suddenly even after years of wearing a ring without any hassle.
The first thing to do is make sure it actually is an allergy. Redness and irritation under your ring can occur because of a build up of soap or some cream or cleaning agent you have used so you need to give the ring and the area a good clean up, remove the ring for a week to allow the rash to subside and then try again before coming to the conclusion that you have an allergy.
Ring allergies are usually caused by sensitivity to the nickel that is part of the metal mix. White Gold is the biggest offender here but any of the gold rings can cause it to some extent. Our white gold rings are rhodium plated which minimises the issue quite a bit but possibly not entirely so if you know you have a nickel allergy or are prone to skin conditions of this sort they are best avoided.
Platinum and Palladium rings are your best choice, both are hypoallergenic.

Keep your ring AWAY from rubbing alcohol – we know this is going to be difficult with the current covid 19 restrictions, and any type of chlorine bleach. Keep this one in mind as you should remove your rings whenever you use any strong cleaning products. It’s not a bad idea to keep a chain at hand to put it round your neck for safe-keeping whenever you need to do some housework or deal with strong chemicals for any reason. You should also remove your ring before going swimming, even in the sea.
The rule is, if in doubt, take your ring off and develop a good failsafe habit to make sure you don’t misplace it!
If your White Gold ring starts to look a bit yellow, it’s not dirty. It needs re-plating. Rhodium plating wears off from time to time and any plated ring needs to be taken to a jeweller for a new layer to be applied. The same goes for our silver rings if they are Rhodium plated.
Apart from cleaning it’s also a good idea to ask the jeweller to check that any stones in your ring are still securely held and that the prongs holding the stones in place are still strong and doing their job.
TREAT YOUR RINGS GENTLY, AVOID HARSH CLEANING PRODUCTS AND ANY SORT OF CHEMICALS AND, WITH AN OCCASIONAL PROFESSIONAL CLEAN THEY SHOULD STAY LOOKING GOOD FOR A LIFETIME.
