Coin Ring Care & Precaution Guide
Each coin ring from Lone Star Foundry is a handcrafted piece of American history, made to last a lifetime with proper care. To keep your ring looking its best and preserve its original detail, follow these simple guidelines.
Daily Wear Tips
-
Avoid harsh chemicals: Remove your ring before swimming, cleaning, or using hand sanitizers, as chlorine, bleach, and alcohol can tarnish or damage the finish.
-
Keep it dry: Moisture speeds up tarnishing, especially for silver rings. Always dry your ring thoroughly if it gets wet.
-
Gentle on your hands: Take your ring off before heavy lifting, yard work, or using tools to prevent scratching or bending.
Cleaning Your Ring
-
Regular polishing: Wipe your ring after wearing with a soft jewelry cloth to remove oils and slow tarnish.
-
Deep cleaning (if needed): Soak in a small bowl of warm water with a few drops of mild dish soap. Gently scrub with a soft toothbrush, rinse, and dry completely.
-
Avoid abrasive cleaners: Never use harsh polishes or metal compounds that could remove fine coin details or original patina.
Storage
-
Store separately: Keep your ring in a soft pouch or jewelry box to prevent scratches from other items.
-
Reduce air exposure: Silver tarnishes when exposed to air. Store your ring in an airtight container or use anti-tarnish strips for long-term storage.
-
Temperature caution: Avoid extreme heat or sudden temperature changes that may affect the metal’s integrity.
Precautions & Maintenance
-
Resizing: Avoid frequent resizing, as it can weaken the structure of the ring over time.
-
Patina protection: Many rings develop a natural aged look (patina). If you prefer this antique style, avoid over-polishing.
-
Polish preference: If you prefer a bright shine, use a gentle silver polish cloth—never a chemical dip or abrasive compound.
-
Wear rotation: If you own multiple rings, rotate them to minimize daily wear on any single piece.
