Buffing Palladium Rings

Question: How often does a palladium ring need to be buffed?
Answer: How often a palladium ring needs to be buffed depends on how often the ring is worn and the amount of care the ring is given.
For the purposes of palladium wedding rings, it is best to have the rings professionally cleaned and buffed once a year. Although, if your ring goes through extra wear and tear, it is best to take the ring in for a buff and clean every six months.
Cleaning and buffing the rings every year will help to reduce excessive accumulations of oils on the rings and will gently remove small scratches and dings. Yearly maintenance on the rings will reduce buffing times and cost and may actually help to preserve the original beauty of the ring.
To extend the shine of the rings between each cleaning and buffing follow these tips:
- Remove palladium wedding rings if there is a chance that the rings could be exposed to hard knocks or blows.
- Take care not to expose palladium rings to harsh chemicals.
- To avoid a build up of oily residue on the rings, remove the rings before applying lotion to the hands or if you will be using your hands to apply hair gel or serums.
As with all other types of wedding rings, it is best to use the services of a local jeweler who specializes in cleaning and buffing rings; ask the jeweler to check the security of the settings as well at each yearly cleaning.
