Do I need to remove my jewellery when doing activities to avoid jewellery repair?
We highly recommend removing your jewellery before cooking, preparing food, doing the dishes, or engaging in any kind of outdoor activity, such as gardening, going to the gym, bike riding, canoeing, or swimming.
The same rule applies to manual labour-intensive jobs, such as mechanics, plumbing, and machinery operation.
The jewellery you wear every day is crafted from precious metals like gold, silver, platinum, and palladium. However, this does not mean it can withstand all kinds of strain or force.
Jewellery can get knocked and scratched, ring prongs can become damaged, stones may loosen and eventually fall out, or get chipped and damaged. Some gemstones, such as emeralds, opals, and pearls, are more prone to damage than others. The same applies to delicate and dainty jewellery, which can easily break or become damaged.

Chemicals like chlorinated water can have an adverse reaction on your jewelry. For example, the luster of your pearl will become dull and destroyed. Opals are quite porous and sensitive—they can get damaged and cracked. Diamonds, on the other hand, are strong and durable, but there are still some exceptions to the rule. For example, diamonds can chip or fracture if you accidentally hit them at just the right angle with just the right force.
Diamonds have four perfect cleavage planes. Cleavage refers to a split in a diamond along its flat surface, parallel to its crystallographic plane. Cleavage is caused by weak atomic bonds.
Wearing your rings while swimming makes your finger size shrink, meaning your ring can easily slip off your finger.
When it comes to cooking and handling food, even though it goes without saying that jewelry should be removed, most people forget to do so. Bacteria and pathogens can grow when they get stuck under your rings, or food particles get trapped in the ring setting, causing bacterial growth—including dangerous strains like Staphylococcus aureus.
