Key Takeaways

• Warm water + mild dish soap + soft brush is all you need.
• Moissanite never clouds; dullness is just surface residue.
• Put jewelry on last and take it off for the gym, cleaning and swimming.

Moissanite is one of the hardest, most durable gems you can wear, so it keeps its sparkle for a lifetime. Like any fine jewelry, though, it picks up lotion, oils and dust that can dull its shine. The good news: cleaning it is easy.

The Simple At-Home Clean

1. Fill a small bowl with warm water and a few drops of mild dish soap.
2. Soak your jewelry for 15 to 20 minutes to loosen buildup.
3. Gently brush the stone and setting with a soft, clean toothbrush, especially behind the stone where oils collect.
4. Rinse under warm running water. Close the sink drain first.
5. Pat dry with a soft, lint-free cloth.

Do this every week or two if you wear your ring daily, and your stone will stay bright.

What About Ultrasonic Cleaners?

Moissanite itself handles ultrasonic cleaning well. However, the vibrations can loosen tiny stones in pave, halo and micro-set designs. For those styles, stick to the gentle soap-and-brush method.

Everyday Care Tips

• Put jewelry on last, after lotion, perfume and hairspray.
• Take it off for the gym, heavy lifting, cleaning and gardening.
• Avoid harsh chemicals such as bleach and chlorine, which can damage metals, especially gold alloys.
• Remove before swimming in pools or hot tubs.
• Store pieces separately in a soft pouch or lined box so harder stones do not scratch softer metals.

Caring for the Metal

• White gold is usually plated with rhodium for a bright white finish. Replating every year or two restores its shine.
• Yellow and rose gold can be polished with a soft jewelry cloth.
• Sterling silver can tarnish over time. A silver polishing cloth brings back the shine.

Check Your Setting

Every few months, gently check that your stone does not move and that the prongs look even. If anything feels loose, stop wearing the piece and have a jeweler check it.

Frequently Asked Questions

How often should I clean my moissanite ring?

Every one to two weeks if you wear it daily, or whenever it starts to look less bright.

Can I use an ultrasonic cleaner on moissanite?

Moissanite itself tolerates ultrasonic cleaning, but avoid it for pave, halo and micro-set pieces, where small stones can loosen.

Can I wear my moissanite ring in the shower?

It will not harm the stone, but soap residue can dull its sparkle over time, so it is best to remove it when showering.
