Is It Normal For Diamonds To Come Loose From Rings?

If you've ever owned a diamond engagement ring, then you've probably experienced that tiny heart attack thing where you check your hand and the diamond's missing. In this post, we’ll break down exactly why diamonds come loose.

What Causes Diamonds to Not Sit Tight in Rings?

Ever notice your diamond feels a little loose or doesn't lie flat in your classic engagement ring? That's an indication it may be loose, and it happens more than you'd believe.

  • Worn-Out Prongs: The small metal claws that keep your diamond secured can wear down over time. When they become too thin or bent, they lose their grip, causing the diamond to shift or even fall out from fine diamond rings.
  • Daily Wear and Tear: Rings get a lot of use; handwashing, working out, gardening, you name it. All that movement puts pressure on the Tiffany style engagement ring setting, loosening the stone without you even knowing it.
  • Improper Size or Fit: If your classic wedding set ring is the wrong size, it will stress the setting, causing it to be more probable that the diamond will shift or pop out. 

What Helps Keep Diamonds Tight in Their Settings?

Keeping your diamond ring from Johann Paul Fine Jewelry cozy and secure in its setting doesn't have to be a secret; it just requires a little bit of care and know-how. 

Solid Settings

It begins with the diamond engagement ring setting quality. A secure setting crafted by a competent jeweler is one of the best methods to keep your diamond safe. 

Regular Check-ups

As your car gets an oil change, your classic engagement ring needs some attention. Getting your jeweler to take a look at your ring every 6–12 months will catch any loose prongs or small cracks before they become worse issues. 

Good Cleaning

The more buildup, the more likely your diamond might shift. When your ring gets dirty, the setting can get stressed. Having your Tiffany style engagement ring cleaned (at home or professionally) keeps it in top condition and maintains that twinkle. 

Any Advice for When a Diamond Falls Out of a Ring?

In case your diamond pops out, don't lose your cool; first, attempt to locate the stone if at all possible. Second, store fine diamond rings securely and go see a reputable jeweler as soon as possible.
