Taking Care of Your Ring
You’ve already secured the man of your dreams, now it’s time to take care of that ring on your finger…literally.
If the ring doesn’t fit right away, head straight to the jeweler to get it properly sized. The last thing you need is to have the ring slip off somewhere.
It’s also a good idea to get insurance on the ring. It’s a big ticket item and you want to make sure if anything happens to it that you’re covered. You can often add an engagement ring to your home insurance (or rental insurance) policy.
Keep the box that the ring came in and make sure to store it when you’re not wearing it. There may be times when you decide to leave the ring at home (if you’re traveling abroad, for example), you might want to look into getting a safe or putting it in a safe deposit box at a bank.
As for regular care of your ring, you can pop into the jewelry store to have it cleaned and checked out on a regular basis. Sometimes the insurance policy will require that you have a jeweler inspect the ring periodically to check the prongs, etc.
Congratulations.
