Caring for Your Moissanite Jewelry
Welcome back to the Sparkala "Moissanite Education" series. Today, we turn our focus to the care and maintenance of moissanite jewelry. Moissanite is known for its durability and hardness, making it an excellent choice for everyday wear. However, like all precious gemstones, it benefits from regular care to keep it looking its best. Follow these essential tips to ensure your moissanite jewelry maintains its sparkle and brilliance over time.
Regular Cleaning
Moissanite can attract grease and dirt, dulling its sparkle. Fortunately, it's easy to clean:
- Mild Soap and Water: The simplest way to clean your moissanite jewelry is by using a mild soap and warm water. Soak your jewelry for a few minutes, then gently brush it with a soft toothbrush to remove any buildup. Rinse under clean water and dry with a soft, lint-free cloth.
- Jewelry Cleaner: For a deeper clean, use a commercial jewelry cleaner designed for moissanite or diamonds. Ensure the cleaner is suitable for both the gemstone and the metal setting.
Professional Inspections
It's a good idea to have your moissanite jewelry professionally inspected and cleaned annually. Jewelers can check for any damage to the setting or the moissanite itself, ensuring that your piece remains secure and vibrant.
Safe Storage
When not wearing your moissanite jewelry, store it safely to prevent scratches or damage:
- Individual Storage: Keep your jewelry in a fabric-lined case or individual pouches to prevent pieces from scratching each other.
- Avoid Extreme Conditions: Store your moissanite jewelry away from direct sunlight, extreme temperatures, and humidity, which can affect the metal settings.
Avoid Harsh Chemicals
Exposure to harsh chemicals can dull the sparkle of your moissanite and damage the metal setting. Remove your jewelry when using cleaning products, swimming in chlorinated water, or applying cosmetics and perfumes.
Handling and Wear
While moissanite is durable, it's wise to remove your jewelry during activities that could expose it to hard knocks or scratches, such as gardening, sports, or heavy lifting.
