Because of this, it's important to keep your wedding band safe until your wedding day.
Fortunately, storing your wedding bands before the big day isn't complicated - if you know what you're doing. Yes, with a little knowledge, there's nothing you can't handle. To help you bring home your beautiful jewelry with confidence, VANCARO Jewelry spoke with jewelry expert Rheanne to share important tips for keeping your wedding band in perfect condition before the wedding.
General Methods of Preserving Wedding Rings
1. Choose a Safe and Secure Location
The first step in storing your wedding rings before your wedding is to choose a safe and secure location. This could be in a safe or a safety deposit box at your bank. If you choose to store your wedding rings in a safe or safety deposit box, make sure that you only give access to trusted individuals, such as your partner or a close family member.
"Even if you prefer to keep your wedding ring with you, or even consider purchasing a small jewelry box or pouch to carry it with you at all times, it is best not to do so." Rheanne says. It may make you feel at ease, but it can increase the risk of dropping your wedding ring. Newlyweds will have so much on their plate during their marriage that it's hard to keep their focus on such a small item.
2. Keep Your Rings Clean and Dry
Before storing your wedding rings, it is important to ensure that they are clean and dry. This will prevent any dirt or moisture from causing damage to your rings while they are in storage. To clean your rings, use a soft cloth and a mild soap solution to gently remove any dirt or debris. Rinse your rings thoroughly under warm water and dry them with a soft cloth.

5. Consider a Ring Holder
If you prefer to keep your wedding rings on display before your wedding, consider purchasing a ring holder. Ring holders come in a variety of styles and can be found at most jewelry stores or online. This will not only keep your rings safe, but it will also make a beautiful addition to your home decor.
