How to Clean Moissanite Jewelry and Keep It Looking Brand New

June 29, 2026

Why Does Moissanite Jewelry Lose Its Shine?

Even the most brilliant moissanite can lose its sparkle over time. Daily wear exposes your jewelry to skin oils, lotions, soaps, and environmental dust — all of which build up on the surface and dull its natural brilliance. The good news? A little routine care goes a long way.

The Best Way to Clean Moissanite Jewelry at Home

You don't need expensive ultrasonic machines or harsh chemicals. Here's the simple method we recommend for all our pieces — from our Tennis Chain 3mm VVS1 to our Moissanite Stud Earrings:

Fill a small bowl with warm (not hot) water and a few drops of mild dish soap.
Soak your jewelry for 20–30 minutes to loosen buildup.
Gently scrub with a soft-bristle toothbrush, paying attention to the underside of stones and prong settings.
Rinse thoroughly under clean warm water.
Pat dry with a soft, lint-free cloth and allow to air dry completely before storing.

Avoid harsh chemicals like bleach, chlorine, or acetone — these can damage metal settings and dull the stone's surface.

How Often Should You Clean Your Moissanite?

Daily wear pieces (rings, chains, bracelets): clean weekly to maintain maximum brilliance.
Occasional wear pieces (earrings, pendants): a monthly cleaning is sufficient.

Our Tennis Chain 5mm and Tennis Chain 2mm are popular daily-wear pieces that benefit from a weekly quick clean.

Storage Tips to Protect Your Jewelry

Store each piece separately in a soft pouch or lined jewelry box to prevent scratching.
Keep jewelry away from humidity — avoid storing in bathrooms.
Remove jewelry before swimming, exercising, or applying beauty products.

Everyday Care Tips

Put your jewelry on last when getting ready — after perfume, lotion, and hairspray.
Remove rings before washing hands or doing dishes.
Inspect prongs and settings periodically for any looseness.
