Moissanite Jewelry Care Guide: Keeping Your Pieces Sparkling
Share
Moissanite is one of the most durable gemstones available — but like all fine jewelry, it benefits from regular care. With a few simple habits, your moissanite pieces will stay as brilliant as the day you got them.
⚠️ Daily Wear Tips: What to Avoid
- Lotions & creams: Apply before putting on jewelry. Buildup dulls the stone's sparkle over time.
- Chlorine & bleach: Remove rings before swimming in pools or using cleaning products.
- Hairspray & perfume: Spray first, then put on your jewelry.
- Heavy impact: While moissanite is very hard (9.25 on the Mohs scale), avoid wearing rings during heavy lifting or sports.
🧴 At-Home Cleaning: Step-by-Step
- Mix a few drops of mild dish soap with warm water in a small bowl.
- Soak your jewelry for 10–15 minutes.
- Gently scrub with a soft-bristle toothbrush, paying attention to the underside of the stone.
- Rinse thoroughly under warm running water.
- Pat dry with a lint-free cloth and allow to air dry completely before storing.
Tip: Clean your moissanite jewelry every 2–4 weeks for best results.
💍 Professional Cleaning
We recommend a professional cleaning once or twice a year. A jeweler can also check prong settings and ensure stones are secure — especially important for rings worn daily.
📦 Storage Best Practices
- Store each piece separately in a soft pouch or lined jewelry box to prevent scratching.
- Keep necklaces hung or laid flat to avoid tangling.
- Store away from direct sunlight and humidity.
Care by Jewelry Type
💍 Rings
Rings get the most daily exposure. Clean weekly and remove before washing hands with harsh soaps or doing dishes.
💟 Earrings
Clean earring backs regularly as they accumulate oils and debris. A cotton swab dipped in rubbing alcohol works well for the posts.
💟 Necklaces
Necklaces can tangle easily. Store them hung up or in individual pouches. Clean the chain with a soft cloth after each wear to remove skin oils.
