FAQs
What’s the best way to care for my Scott Kay ring?
Every piece of Scott Kay wedding jewelry is designed to become a future heirloom. The precious metals we work with are inherently durable, and diamonds are, by nature, the hardest (read: chip- and scratch-resistant) gems in existence. While your ring is meticulously handcrafted to hold up to everyday wear, it should also be preserved and cared for like a priceless work of art. To keep your Scott Kay ring in superb condition, and enjoy its remarkable beauty for years to come, we recommend the following care and cleaning tips:
- When not being worn, store the ring in a safe place like a ring tree or the Scott Kay jewel box it came in, avoiding contact with your other jewelry to prevent nicks and scratches.
- Consider removing your ring when working with your hands or engaging in activities that could result in ring damage or loss, from housework and food prep to swimming and exercise.
- Avoid removing your ring when washing your hands in a public restroom; when traveling, keep it locked it in your hotel room’s safe.
- Perfumes, lotions, shampoo and other chemical-based products, as well as the natural oils in your skin, can create grime and buildup over time. To maintain your ring’s beauty, gently wipe it clean with a damp cloth as needed. Our retailers are also happy to recommend a number of professional jewelry-cleaning solutions, and will help you select one based on your ring’s design.
- If your ring features diamond pavé accents, do not use an at-home ultrasonic jewelry cleaner, which can potentially loosen the stones.
- Finally, we recommend having a Scott Kay Authorized Retailer check the center stone’s prongs once a year to ensure that the gem remains securely in place.

Can my ring be resized?
When you purchase a ring from a Scott Kay Authorized Retailer, you will work with a sales associate to determine your correct size and have your ring made to order accordingly. The precious metals we work with—platinum and 14k or 18k gold—can be sized up or down as needed, but the complexity of the ring’s design may limit our ability to do so. Please consult with a Scott Kay Authorized Retailer, who will ensure this is handled properly and in accordance with our high standards.
