25. Ring Care
Tuesday, 09 Dec 2014
Because Silver is a relatively soft metal, any ring you purchase will show signs of wear and tear sooner or later.
Naturally, this also applies to rings that have a matte finish.
However, if you are prepared to make some minimal effort then it is quite easy to keep your ring looking good.
All it takes is some sandpaper of a couple of different grades, a fine-wire brush plus some soap and water.
The sandpaper comes in grits of 240, 320 and 600.
For best results, take care to sand in one direction only with a smooth, regular motion.
For a matte finish, use the 240 grit paper only.
If you decide you would like a more pronouned effect you could use 180 grit or even ???, depending on your taste.
For a polished finish, work from 240 through to 600, then use the wire brush with soap and water.
