Moissanite Jewelry Care and Clean Guide

Caring for your moissanite jewelry is like any important relationship. It takes the right amount of love and attention to make your investment worthwhile. We've put together a ring care FAQ to help you keep your moissanite jewelry as perfect as the day you received it.

Cleaning Moissanite at Home

• Keep it simple. One of the best ways to clean moissanite jewelry is to use a mild soap, warm water and either a soft cloth or toothbrush. Place the moissanite jewelry in the soapy solution, then gently brush the stone, taking care to get into the hard to reach areas. Once cleaned, rinse thoroughly to get rid of any soapy residue.
• Dry the moissanite jewelry well on a lint-free cloth.

Commercial Jewelry Cleaners

• If you decide that you need something more professional than soap and water, you can opt for a commercial jewelry cleaner specially formulated for use on gemstones such as diamonds, moissanite and corundum.
• Choose a non-toxic, non-abrasive cleaner and follow the directions to keep your moissanite sparkling.

Using Ammonia on Moissanite

• Ammonia may sound like a strong chemical, but it is actually a safe, natural product that is very effective in cleaning moissanite jewelry. If you think you will be sensitive to ammonia, wear goggles and gloves and work in an airy space.
• To make the solution, dilute 1 part ammonia with 1-2 parts water. Place your moissanite jewelry in the solution, then use a soft brush to clean the pieces thoroughly. Once complete, you can wash with soap and water, or simply rinse under running water.

Additional Recommendations

• You may try to avoid using your fine jewelry while playing sports (working out in a gym is included here) or when you do any kind of rough work. Even though a Moissanite is the most durable natural crystal structure known to man, it can be chipped by a hard blow along its grain.
• When you are not wearing your Moissanite jewelry, try to separate them individually. Moissanite pieces in a drawer or left in contact with other jewelry in a jewelry case can scratch each other and also can scratch other jewelry.
