After Care - Do's And Don'ts
Do’s
✅ Clean Regularly: A quick clean every 2-4 weeks keeps your gem looking flawless.
✅ Remove Before Messy Activities: Cooking, gardening, or finger-painting masterpieces? Take off your jewelry first.
✅ Store Safely: Keep your moissanite in a jewelry box or away during certain activities to avoid scratches when appropriate (even though it’s pretty scratch-resistant).
Don’ts
❌ Avoid Harsh Chemicals: No bleach, ammonia, or household cleaners
❌ Skip Ultrasonic Cleaners for Certain Settings: While moissanite is tough, some settings don’t play well with ultrasonic cleaners.
Congratulations, you’re the proud owner of moissanite jewelry! Whether it’s a ring, necklace, or those envy-inducing earrings, one thing’s for sure—your moissanite sparkles like the star of its own rom-com. But even the brightest gems need a little TLC to keep their shine.
Don’t worry—it’s easier than you think. No mystical potions, no chanting under a full moon. Just a few simple steps to ensure your moissanite jewelry stays as dazzling as the day you got it. Let’s dive in!
Why Does Moissanite Need Cleaning?
First things first: Moissanite is a superstar when it comes to brilliance. It’s known for its ability to reflect light like nobody’s business. But even stars get dimmed by buildup—think oils, lotions, or that pizza grease from Friday night (hey, we’re not judging).
Dust and grime can sneak onto your gem and dull its sparkle. The good news? Moissanite is super durable, so cleaning it is stress-free—no "handle with care" warnings here!
Step-by-Step Guide to Cleaning Your Moissanite Jewelry
Here’s the ultimate playbook for keeping your moissanite jewelry sparkling brighter than your future:
1. Gather Your Supplies
You don’t need a fancy jewelry cleaner that costs more than your Netflix subscription. Just grab:
Warm water
Mild dish soap (the kind that won’t scare your hands off)
A soft toothbrush (unused, please—no toothpaste remnants)
A microfiber cloth or soft towel
Optional: A bowl to feel fancy.
2. Make the Magic Solution
Fill a small bowl with warm water and add a few drops of dish soap. Not too much—you’re cleaning jewelry, not prepping for a bubble bath. Swirl it around to create a sudsy solution.
3. Soak
Gently place your moissanite jewelry into the solution and let it soak for about 5-10 minutes. This loosens up the grime so you don’t have to scrub like you’re polishing a car.
4. Brush Away the Buildup
Take your soft toothbrush and gently scrub your moissanite jewelry. Pay extra attention to the underside of the gem—dirt loves to hide there, like a bad plot twist in a movie.
5. Rinse and Dry
Rinse the jewelry under warm running water to wash away the soap. Be sure to plug the sink—you don’t want your precious gem playing hide-and-seek in the drain.
Pat it dry with a microfiber cloth, and voilà! Your moissanite is back to its dazzling self.
Why Moissanite is Low-Maintenance Royalty
Unlike diamonds (with their high-maintenance attitude) or softer gems like opals, moissanite is as tough as they come. With a 9.25 rating on the Mohs scale, it can handle daily wear without breaking a sweat. Cleaning it? A breeze.
In other words, moissanite is the friend who’s always ready for brunch, never flakes on plans, and somehow looks flawless even after a long day.
Final Thoughts
Keeping your moissanite jewelry clean isn’t just about aesthetics—it’s about showing love to the gem that’s been dazzling you (and everyone else) since day one. And let’s face it: a sparkling moissanite makes everything better, from selfies to surprise engagements.
So grab your soap, toothbrush, and a pinch of enthusiasm, and give your moissanite the care it deserves. After all, happy gems = happy you.
