How To Protect Your Rings While Wearing Winter Gloves

Making a mistake with your ring isn't always as grand as losing the diamond in your engagement ring or accidentally leaving it in a hotel room. Instead, the everyday ways in which we handle our rings matter in big ways, and focusing on this during wintertime is of utmost importance — and there are some perfect ways to avoid any damage coming to your precious jewelry.

According to Bustle, one of the easiest ways you can manage wearing both rings and gloves is to invert the ring when putting on your glove. This keeps the ring more securely in place and prevents it from falling off when you take the glove off. Moreover, they recommend buying gloves with stretchier fabric or in a bigger size if you know you're going to be wearing rings often. Both of these options will give the ring room to easily slide in and out without scratching it or harming it in any way. This will also prevent it from falling out.

Love and Promise Jewelers further adds that the simplest way to take care of your gloves in wintertime is to take your time when putting your gloves on and taking them off. Apply as little pressure as possible and don't rush it. It may feel like a waste of time, but rings are too expensive to harm in a moment of haste. (They recommend never wearing rings with latex gloves, though.)

When asked about this on PriceScope, many women responded that they simply opt for mittens rather than gloves in the winter. Mittens don't have individual finger holes, so the ring will have much more room to breathe and less chance of getting harmed.
