Regular Cleaning

Oils from skin, lotions, and cosmetics can accumulate on moissanite surfaces, temporarily dulling its brilliance. Clean your jewelry every 1-2 weeks using this gentle method:

1. Create a cleaning solution: Mix a few drops of mild dish soap with warm (not hot) water in a small bowl.
2. Soak briefly: Submerge your moissanite jewelry for 5-10 minutes to loosen oils and debris.
3. Gentle brushing: Use a soft-bristled toothbrush to carefully clean the stone and setting, reaching into crevices and behind the stone where buildup occurs.
4. Rinse thoroughly: Hold the piece under warm running water (close the drain or use a filter to prevent loss).
5. Dry completely: Pat dry with a soft, lint-free cloth, then polish gently to restore maximum shine.

Alternative Cleaning Methods

• Ultrasonic cleaners: Moissanite is safe for ultrasonic cleaning; use jewelry cleaning solution and run for the recommended cycle.
• Professional cleaning: Annual professional cleaning ensures thorough maintenance and allows jewelers to inspect settings for security.

What to Avoid

• Harsh chemicals: Avoid bleach, chlorine, strong alkaline cleaners, and abrasive compounds that can damage metal settings.
• Abrasive materials: Never use steel wool, rough scrubbing pads, or toothpaste (too abrasive for fine jewelry).
• Physical activities: Remove jewelry during exercise, manual labor, or activities that could cause impact or exposure to chemicals.

Proper Storage

Store moissanite jewelry in individual fabric-lined compartments or soft pouches to prevent scratching from contact with other pieces. While moissanite's 9.25 hardness resists damage, proper storage preserves both the stone and delicate metal settings.

THE FUTURE OF FINE JEWELRY

Moissanite is rapidly transitioning from a “diamond alternative” to a celebrated gemstone in its own right, embraced for its unique optical properties, ethical origins, and accessible luxury. Industry data from 2025 shows a 78% increase in moissanite engagement ring purchases, reflecting a broader shift in consumer values toward sustainability, transparency, and personalized style over traditional conventions.
