Is it okay to go swimming with my new ring?

While swimming may seem like a low-impact, safe activity for jewelry wear it can actually be extremely harmful.  The sanitizing chlorine found in most swimming pools is very corrosive and as a result can begin to erode the precious metals in your ring. This can make the overall ring  brittle, weak and more susceptible to breaks or stone loss. When heading for a swim it's best to leave favorite pieces safe at home.
