Hopefully you love your ring so much, you don't want to take it off. But to keep it clean and safe, it's best to remove it before bed and certain activities. "We always recommend removing your ring, and storing it in a soft, padded tray or lined jewelry box so that the ring is secure and will not get scratched. Keep the ring away from other jewelry items or hard surfaces," says Gottlieb. "We suggest avoiding wearing the ring during exercise, manual labor, manicures, cooking, cleaning, or any activity where the ring would be exposed to creams, lotions, perfumes, or soaps with harsh ingredients."
