6. How Do I Clean My Ring Holder Necklace?

To keep your ring holder necklace looking its best, clean it regularly with a soft, lint-free cloth. For a more thorough cleaning, mix a few drops of mild dish soap with warm water and gently scrub the necklace with a soft toothbrush. Rinse well and dry completely.

Forge & Lumber's plated stainless steel ring holder necklaces are tarnish-resistant and easy to care for. However, avoid harsh chemicals or abrasives that could damage the finish. With proper cleaning, your necklace will maintain its lustre wear after wear.

7. Are Ring Holder Necklaces Waterproof?

Not all ring holder necklaces are fully waterproof, so it's important to check the materials and care instructions. Many can handle occasional splashes or light rain but should be removed before showering, swimming, or other prolonged water exposure.

Forge & Lumber crafts their ring holder necklaces from stainless steel with waterproof plating, so they hold up well to everyday moisture. However, to extend the life of your necklace, we recommend removing it before water activities and storing it separately from other jewellery.

8. What If My Ring Gets Stuck in the Holder?

If your ring becomes stuck in the holder, don't panic or try to force it out, which could damage the ring or necklace. Instead, apply a small amount of lubricant like soap, Windex, or Vaseline around the ring and gently work it back and forth until it slides free.

The smooth, rounded interior of Forge & Lumber's ring holders is designed to keep rings secure without sticking. However, build-up of lotion, soap, or skin oils could create some temporary stickiness. Regular cleaning of both your rings and holder will help prevent stubborn rings.

9. Can I Wear My Ring Holder Necklace Through Airport Security?

Yes, you can generally wear your ring holder necklace through airport security just like any other jewellery. However, we recommend placing it inside a carry-on or purse while going through the scanner to avoid accidentally snagging it or setting off the metal detector.

The high-quality stainless steel and plating of Forge & Lumber's ring holder necklaces are perfectly safe for air travel. Just be mindful of how you store your necklace to keep it protected during your trip.

10. Do Ring Holder Necklaces Tangle Easily?

Necklaces are always susceptible to some tangling, especially when traveling or storing them with other jewellery. However, the simple chain design of ring holder necklaces makes them less prone to major tangles than more intricate styles.

To minimize tangling, we recommend clasping your Forge & Lumber ring holder necklace before storing it. You can also keep it separate from other necklaces in a small jewellery pouch or hanging on an individual hook.

11. How Long Will My Ring Holder Necklace Last?

The lifespan of your ring holder necklace depends on the quality of materials, construction, and how well you care for it. Look for necklaces made of durable metals with a protective finish to get the most longevity.

Forge & Lumber uses high-quality plated stainless steel that resists tarnishing, corrosion, and general wear and tear. With proper care and storage, your ring holder necklace will be a trusted accessory for years to come.

12. Should I Take Off My Ring Holder Necklace During Sports or Exercise?

It's a good idea to remove your ring holder necklace before playing sports or doing vigorous exercise. This protects both the necklace and your rings from damage or loss due to impact or excessive movement.

If you're worried about misplacing your rings while exercising, stash your Forge & Lumber ring holder necklace in your locker or gym bag. The secure locking mechanism will ensure your rings are waiting for you safe and sound after your workout.

13. Will My Rings Scratch the Holder?

Ring holder necklaces are designed to be durable and resistant to scratches from normal ring wear. However, diamonds and other hard stones could potentially leave light surface marks over time.

The 18K gold, rose gold, and silver plating on Forge & Lumber's stainless steel ring holders provides an extra layer of protection against minor scuffs. The smooth inner surface also helps minimize ring friction for reduced wear on both your rings and holder.

14. Can I Wear My Ring Holder Necklace in the Shower?

Many ring holder necklaces are splash-resistant but not fully waterproof, so it's best to remove them before showering. Prolonged exposure to water and soaps could cause tarnishing or weaken the locking mechanism over time.

Thanks to their stainless steel construction and waterproof plating, Forge & Lumber's ring holder necklaces hold up well to moisture. However, for maximum longevity, we recommend taking yours off before hopping in the shower.

15. What If I Lose the Locking Pin on My Ring Holder?

Forge & Lumber's world-class customer service is here to help if you ever have an issue with your ring holder necklace. Our team will work with you to find a solution and get your necklace back in working order as quickly as possible.

16. Can I Use My Ring Holder Necklace When Pregnant?

Yes, a ring holder necklace is an excellent solution for expecting mothers who experience finger swelling that makes regular ring wear uncomfortable. You can keep your rings close and secure around your neck instead.

Forge & Lumber's ring holder necklaces are lightweight and fully adjustable for a comfortable fit at every stage of pregnancy. The stainless steel and plated materials are also safe and non-reactive for sensitive skin.

17. Are Ring Holder Necklaces Expensive?

Ring holder necklaces are available at a variety of price points depending on the materials, brand, and design complexity. You can find options ranging from under £20 to several hundred dollars for fine jewellery versions.

Forge & Lumber offers an exceptional value with their high-quality ring holder necklaces. The durable stainless steel construction and premium 18K gold, rose gold, and silver plating provide luxury and longevity at an affordable price.

18. Can I Engrave My Ring Holder Necklace?

Some ring holder necklaces can be engraved, depending on the design and materials. Engraving is a wonderful way to personalize your necklace with a monogram, date, or special phrase.

Forge & Lumber's stainless steel ring holder necklaces can be engraved to add a custom touch. Contact our team for more information on our engraving services and to start personalizing your necklace.

19. What Metal is Best for a Ring Holder Necklace?

The best metal for a ring holder necklace is one that is durable, tarnish-resistant, and gentle on your rings. Stainless steel, sterling silver, and gold are all popular choices that hold up well to daily wear.

Forge & Lumber uses 316L stainless steel for its strength and corrosion resistance. The 18K gold, rose gold, and silver plating provides additional protection and a luxe finish that looks beautiful with any ring.

20. Do I Need a Ring Holder Necklace?

If you ever take your rings off for work, sports, travel, or comfort, a ring holder necklace is an incredibly useful accessory. It keeps your rings secure and close at hand, so you never have to worry about misplacing or damaging them when they're not on your finger.

  • Measure your finger at the end of the day when it is likely to be at its largest size.
  • Avoid measuring when you're cold, as fingers can be smaller.
  • If your knuckle is significantly larger than the base of your finger, measure both and select a size in between to ensure the ring will fit.
