"}},{"@type":"Question","name":"How do you care for a Cathedral engagement ring?","acceptedAnswer":{"@type":"Answer","text":"Engagement rings and wedding rings should be cleaned once a week to keep them shining bright and germ-free. This is especially true of Cathedral rings whose arches and extra crevices can attract more dirt. A simple weekly cleaning routine involves soaking your ring in a small bowl filled with warm water and a few drops of liquid dishwashing soap. After thirty to forty-five minutes, remove the ring and brush it gently with a soft-bristle toothbrush, then rinse and pat dry with a soft towel.
