Shell Ring FAQs
Q: How do I clean my shell ring?
A: Gently wipe your shell ring with a soft, dry cloth. Avoid using water, chemicals or abrasive materials as they may damage the shell surface. For deeper cleaning, use a jewelry polishing cloth specifically designed for delicate materials.
Q: Can I wear my shell ring every day?
A: While shell rings are durable, we recommend removing them during activities that may cause damage such as swimming, showering, or heavy manual work. The natural shell material can be affected by prolonged exposure to water and harsh chemicals.
Q: How do I determine my ring size for a shell ring?
A: We recommend visiting a local jeweler for the most accurate sizing. Alternatively, you can use our printable ring sizer available on our website. Remember that shell rings typically have a slightly thicker band, so you may need to go up half a size if you're between sizes.
