Cleaning & Care Guide For Moissanite Jewelry
Jewelry Maintenance
Maintaining your moissanite jewelry is like maintaining any important relationship. It requires proper love and attention to make your investment worthwhile. Although these durable gemstones are strong enough to withstand daily wear, providing adequate cleaning and care to your fine jewelry will make sure your love goes a long way. We’ve put together a guide with some helpful tips on how to take care of your moissanite gemstone to keep it looking just as radiant as the first day you received it!
Daily Care
Say it with us— daily wear requires daily care!
Just like any other jewelry, it is normal for oils and lotions to build up on the surface of your ring. We suggest washing your jewelry regularly at home and getting it professionally cleaned once a year. It’s a good idea to store your moissanite in a separate space or lined jewelry box to avoid any damages. Remember to remove your ring when engaging in physical activity and manual labor. You can keep it on when washing your hands throughout the day (although you should take it off when using hand sanitizer), but should take it off while sleeping, exercising, showering, swimming, and even applying cosmetics.
Now, let’s make your ring look so good you’ll never want to take it off (even though we know you have to!). Follow these simple steps on how to clean your moissanite jewelry from home.
Step By Step Routine Cleanings
- FILL UP A BOWL WITH WARM WATER
- ADD GENTLE DISH SOAP
- LET THE RING SOAK FOR 10 MIN
- GENTLY SCRUB WITH A SOFT TOOTHBRUSH
- RINSE OFF
- PAT IT DOWN GENTLY
Jewelry Cleaner Recommendations
When your moissanite ring is due for a deeper clean, we recommend using jewelry cleaners (as needed). Any diamond and gold jewelry cleaner will do, so pick your favourite brand! Remember to stay away from any harsh chemicals that may corrode the metal in the ring’s setting.
Here’s a few suggestions:
For a deeper clean, we recommend using Wright’s Silver Cream to remove any oil and dirt build-up. Apply the product to the surface of your moissanite stone using a clean cloth and rub gently. You may need to leave it on for a bit and scrub with a soft toothbrush until the build-up is gone (this may require some elbow grease depending on how much is stuck on there). Rinse and repeat if necessary! Once your moissanite is thoroughly rinsed and no cloudiness remains on the surface, you can dry your ring off and buff it with a clean cloth. Always clean and polish your ring with extra care around the prongs to prevent movement and stones falling out.
Alternatively, we recommend polishing your moissanite jewelry with a liquid like Weiman’s Jewelry Cleaner by soaking the jewelry for up to 30 minutes. Rinse, dry, and buff with a soft clean cloth to shine!
Home Cleaning
Bring it back to the basics. You should complete a weekly home cleaning routine to keep your moissanite jewelry sparkling at its finest. Soak your moissanite jewelry in warm water for 10 minutes with gentle dish soap. Grab a soft toothbrush and gently scrub those hard-to-reach areas (while being cautious around the prongs). Once your jewelry is looking its best, you can rinse it off and leave it to dry.
