Why You Should Get Your Ring Checked at Least Once a Year

A beautiful ring is meant to last a lifetime, but it can't take care of itself. Over time, through daily wear and tear, stones can loosen, metal can scratch and subtle damage can appear on the ring. Getting your ring (or jewelry) checked once a year is a quick and easy way to protect your investment and keep it shining like the day you got it.

What Can Go Wrong If You Don't Get a Regular Checkup:

Let’s be real: your ring goes through a lot. And while some issues might be obvious, others can sneak up on you. Stones can loosen and fall out of their settings, leaving you without the most dazzling part of your piece. Everyday dirt, soap, and lotion can build up on gemstones, hiding imperfections or giving them a dull appearance. And then there are those hard-to-see issues—like cracked prongs or thinning metal—that, if left unchecked, can turn into major repairs. By getting regular checkups, you're being proactive, turning potential disasters into quick fixes.

How Often Should You Get Your Ring Checked:

So, how often should you be checking in on your ring? For most people, once a year is perfect. But we recommend coming in twice a year if you wear your ring every day, work a lot with your hands, or have recently had it resized or repaired. We also suggest getting a check before big moments—like a trip, anniversary, or proposal—just for peace of mind.

What a Ring Check Actually Includes:

During a ring check at Indy Facets, we take a close look at your prongs and settings to make sure your stones are secure. We examine the metal for any thinning or wear and inspect the condition of your diamonds or gemstones to spot any chips or abrasions. We’ll also give your piece a professional cleaning to bring back that original sparkle. If it's been a while since your last sizing, we’ll check that too.

Why It's Worth It at Indy Facets:

Most ring checks take just 15 to 30 minutes. You’ll leave knowing your stones are secure and your piece is in great shape, plus, it’s always nice to pop back into the showroom and say hi. The best part? All of this is complimentary for Indy Facets clients because we believe care should come with a commitment.
