How To Clean Titanium Rings?
There are only simple steps in keeping your titanium ring clean:
- In a small bowl filled with lukewarm water, add dishwashing liquid and mix well.
- Soak your titanium ring for about five minutes to loosen the dirt and grime.
- After soaking, remove your ring and gently scrub it with a soft cloth. Make sure to get into all the nooks and crannies of the ring.
- Once you have scrubbed it clean, rinse the ring with water and dry it off with a microfiber towel. Remember not to air dry your titanium ring, which may cause water spots.
How To Clean Colored Titanium Rings?
The process for cleaning colored titanium rings is relatively similar to regular titanium rings, but you need to be careful not to damage their color. Scrubbing too hard or using harsh chemicals can strip the color of your ring and leave it with a faded appearance.
- In warm water and mild soap solution, soak the ring and let it stay for five minutes to loosen the dirt and grime.
- Rinse it off with clean water and soak the ring again with Windex or other ammonia-based cleaning solutions for a couple of minutes.
- Pat the ring dry with minimal pressure using a soft cloth.
- Rinse the ring with fresh water and pat it dry once more. Make sure to use a soft cloth and not let the ring air-dry as this may cause water spots.
How To Clean Titanium Rings With Gemstones?
Cleaning titanium rings with gemstones is a more delicate process, as the gems may be susceptible to some jewelry cleaning solutions. Here are some helpful tips on how to clean your titanium ring with gemstones:
- Before cleaning your gemstone, make sure to read its durability and cleaning instructions. Otherwise, you may inadvertently harm the gem because not all of them can handle the same type of solutions.
- Soaking gemstones in water may do more harm than good, so it is necessary to research beforehand. Nonetheless, if the titanium ring has diamonds, you can be assured that this stone is quite durable and can handle soaking in water.
- Ammonia-based cleaning solutions or ultrasonic cleaners should be avoided when cleaning titanium rings with gemstones because these solutions can potentially damage the gems.
- It is recommended to use a slightly damp microfiber cloth to eliminate the need for harsh chemicals and solutions.
How Do I Make My Titanium Ring Shiny?
Over time, your titanium ring may lose its shine and luster. If this happens, you can bring back the original sheen by using polishing cloths usually bought in jewelry stores.
Another option is to use cream metal polish on a soft cloth and rub it in a circular motion on your titanium ring. Be careful not to scrub too hard as this may damage the ring. Finally, rinse the ring with water and a mild soap solution and pat it dry with a soft cloth.
Does Titanium Jewelry Change Color?
No, titanium jewelry does not change color. Titanium is a durable metal that does not corrode or tarnish, making it the perfect material for jewelry. It is also hypoallergenic and will not cause any skin irritation.
However, there are titanium rings that undergo anodization or the process of coating colors on titanium. The anodized coating may fade over time with prolonged use, but proper cleaning procedures can restore it.
How Do You Restore A Titanium Ring?
Several factors can affect the anodized coating of your titanium ring and cause it to look faded and dull. You can revive the ring by soaking it in a glass cleaner like Windex for about three minutes.
Afterward, rinse it with warm water and let it air dry. Repeat the cleaning procedure as needed until the ring regains its original shine.
