A1. Gemstone jewelry is delicate. Please remove rings while performing daily chores. When using soap and water, such as while bathing or washing dishes, rings become slippery and may come off, making it possible that they go down the drain or become lost. Also, in the case of yellow gold, alloys such as silver and brass may react to some of the components contained in bathing products, which may cause a change in the metal's color. Furthermore, doing garden work or participating in sports involving a strong grip (such as tennis, golf, or baseball), may cause rings to become misshapen, so they should be removed.

Platinum also has more "grip" than gold, and will hold diamonds firmly in place even after a long time. Finally, platinum will not change color, making it the ideal metal to enhance the beauty of diamonds for a long time.
