Whiteflash-Diamond Playground

Rings that are worn next to each other are going to touch each other. We’ve made thousands of matching sets and it’s critical to design them so that the girdles of the diamonds don’t cause damage to neighboring rings during “normal wear.”  This is a key term. Depending on a person’s lifestyle it’s possible for rings to be brought together in unintended ways which can cause damage beyond the manufacturer’s control - especially if the wearer flexes and grips with pressure, has skinny fingers or wears the rings near the knuckle.  Exercising or sporting activities like biking, tennis or raquetball, can bring rings together in harmful ways as can working with tools or gardening.  Fine jewelry is not intended for such wear, just as fine automobiles aren’t intended for off-road driving.  Even during normal and formal wear some contact is to be expected between metal bands.  Precious metals are soft and the insides of the bands will scratch each other.  Over time these abrasions accumulate.  Having your fine jewelry re-polished (platinum) or re-plated (white gold) every year or so is reasonable to restore them.
