Despite the inevitable fading of the meteorite pattern over time due to regular wear, your ring’s original grandeur can always be restored. Our Lifetime Warranty covers the re-etching of the meteorite, reviving the prominent Widmanstätten lines, and restoring the ring’s captivating allure.
5. How should a meteorite ring be cared for?
Your meteorite ring is an exceptional piece of artistry, crafted with meticulous care. To maintain its pristine condition and extraordinary allure, we recommend a dedicated regimen of careful cleaning every six months to a year and safe handling.
Begin by cleaning the ring gently with a solution of baking soda and water, using a soft-bristle toothbrush to reach the fine details. Thorough drying is of utmost importance following cleaning – we recommend air-drying your piece overnight to ensure complete evaporation of moisture.
Subsequent to cleaning and drying, a light application of mineral oil to the meteorite helps preserve its natural sheen and offers an additional layer of protection.
To safeguard your precious ring from potential damage and unwanted wear, it is recommended to remove it during vigorous activities, such as exercising or heavy manual tasks. Activities like weightlifting or rock climbing can inadvertently cause scratches or dents on the metal.
In addition, we advise not wearing your meteorite ring in the shower or during swimming. Exposure to soaps, shampoos, and salt or chlorinated water can accelerate the oxidation process, potentially leading to rust. It is best to remove your ring during these activities to preserve its exceptional beauty.
By adhering to these careful steps, your meteorite ring will retain its elegance and unique charm for generations to come. Should any issue arise, remember that our dedicated service team is always at your disposal, with every service covered under our comprehensive Lifetime Warranty. Your satisfaction and the enduring beauty of your ring are our topmost priorities.
6. Can meteorite get rusty?
Preserving the extraordinary allure of your meteorite ring demands special care and attention. Although our Aletei meteorite maintains its exquisite sheen under normal usage, certain conditions can potentially incite rust. To prevent this, it is essential to abstain from exposing your ring to harsh chemicals and salt water, which could erode the meteorite's natural luster.
Routine cleaning and careful drying are key elements in maintaining the ring's splendour. Cleanse your ring with a gentle mixture of baking soda and water using a soft-bristle toothbrush, taking care to dry it completely thereafter, ideally allowing it to dry overnight.
Furthermore, applying mineral oil after cleaning offers an additional layer of protection for your ring. This simple but effective act serves as a barrier against the elements, keeping your meteorite ring from rusting and preserving its exceptional beauty.
However, should you notice any rust despite these precautions, do not be unduly alarmed. The appearance of rust can be easily managed and completely removed by our dedicated service team, and such services are fully covered under our comprehensive Lifetime Warranty. Our commitment to you extends far beyond your purchase; we offer continued support to ensure that your ring remains as captivating as the day it first graced your hand.
To maintain your ring's timeless elegance, it's crucial to avoid harsh chemicals and saltwater. Applying mineral oil post-cleaning will fortify its resistance against rust.
