How to Care for Your Moissanite Jewelry at Home

Moissanite jewelry is renowned for its breathtaking sparkle and diamond-like brilliance, making it a popular choice for those who want the beauty of fine jewelry without the high cost or environmental impact. To keep your Moissanite pieces looking their best, it's important to follow a few simple care tips.

Why Moissanite is a Low-Maintenance Gemstone

One of the many reasons moissanite is highly sought after is its durability. Ranking 9.25 on the Mohs hardness scale, moissanite is harder than most gemstones, second only to diamonds. This makes it incredibly resistant to scratching and abrasion, making it a practical choice for everyday wear. While Moissanite is durable, proper care is essential to maintain its sparkle and shine. In this guide, we’ll walk you through how to clean and store your Moissanite jewelry, so it continues to shine for years to come.

1. How to Clean Your Moissanite Jewelry at Home

Over time, oils from your skin, lotions, and daily exposure to the environment can dull the brilliance of your Moissanite jewelry. 

You don’t need fancy equipment to clean your Moissanite jewelry. Follow these easy steps for a regular at-home cleaning routine:

• Mix a Gentle Cleaning Solution: Combine warm water with a few drops of mild dish soap.
• Soak the Jewelry: Place your moissanite jewelry in the solution and let it soak for 10-15 minutes.
• Brush with a Soft Toothbrush: Gently scrub your jewelry with a soft toothbrush, focusing on areas where dirt may accumulate, such as behind the stones or in prongs.
• Rinse Thoroughly: Rinse the jewelry under lukewarm water to remove any soap residue.
• Dry with a Soft Cloth: Pat dry with a lint-free cloth or allow it to air dry on a soft surface.

Avoid Harsh Chemicals

While Moissanite is resilient, exposure to harsh chemicals like bleach, chlorine, or ammonia can damage the metal settings or diminish the gemstone’s brilliance. Always remove your jewelry when cleaning, swimming, or using chemicals.

2. How to Store Your Moissanite Jewelry

Proper storage is key to keeping your Moissanite jewelry in pristine condition.

Here are a few storage tips:

• Use a Jewelry Box or Pouch: Store your Moissanite pieces in the soft pouch we provided to prevent them from being scratched by other items.
• Avoid Tangling Chains: If you own necklaces like our Eternal Loop Necklace, be sure to store them individually or in separate compartments to prevent tangling.
• Separate from Other Gemstones: Even though Moissanite is hard, other gemstones can scratch each other if stored together. Keep your Moissanite jewelry separate from diamonds or other harder stones.
