Moissanite Care Guide: How to Keep Your Jewelry Sparkling Forever

Introduction

One of the many reasons moissanite is such a brilliant choice for everyday jewelry is how easy it is to care for. With a hardness of 9.25 on the Mohs scale, moissanite is incredibly durable — but like any fine jewelry, it benefits from regular cleaning and a little TLC. This guide will show you exactly how to keep your Aurevyn Paris moissanite looking as stunning as the day you first wore it.

Why Moissanite Needs Regular Cleaning

Moissanite’s exceptional brilliance comes from its ability to reflect and refract light. Over time, everyday exposure to lotions, soaps, oils, and dust creates a thin film on the surface of the stone that dulls its sparkle. The good news? It cleans up beautifully — and quickly.

The Best Way to Clean Moissanite at Home

What you’ll need:

• A small bowl of warm water
• A few drops of mild dish soap (fragrance-free)
• A soft-bristled toothbrush (a baby toothbrush works perfectly)
• A lint-free cloth or microfibre towel

Step-by-step:

1. Mix a few drops of mild dish soap into warm (not hot) water
2. Place your moissanite jewelry in the solution and let it soak for 20–30 minutes
3. Gently scrub the stone and setting with the soft toothbrush, paying attention to the underside of the stone where oils accumulate
4. Rinse thoroughly under warm running water
5. Pat dry with a lint-free cloth and allow to air dry completely before storing

Do this once every 1–2 weeks and your moissanite will maintain its full brilliance.

Professional Cleaning

Every 6–12 months, consider having your ring professionally cleaned by a jeweller. They use ultrasonic cleaners and steam that reach areas a toothbrush can’t. This is also a good opportunity to have the setting checked to ensure prongs are secure and the stone is seated properly.

Note: Ultrasonic cleaners are generally safe for moissanite, but always confirm with your jeweller first.

What to Avoid

• Harsh chemicals — bleach, chlorine, and acetone can damage the metal setting. Remove your ring before swimming or using cleaning products.
• Abrasive cleaners — toothpaste and baking soda can scratch the metal setting over time.
• Extreme heat — avoid sudden temperature changes.
• Lotions and perfumes — apply these before putting on your jewelry. Buildup is the #1 cause of dullness.
• Storing with other jewelry — moissanite can scratch softer gemstones. Store each piece separately.

Daily Habits That Protect Your Ring

• Remove before bed — reduces exposure to skin oils and prevents prong snagging
• Remove before exercise — sweat and impact can loosen settings over time
• Remove before cooking — food particles and grease accumulate quickly in ring settings
• Remove before cleaning — household chemicals are harsh on both stone and metal
• Put it on last — after makeup, hairspray, and perfume are fully applied

Storing Your Moissanite Jewelry

• Store in the original Aurevyn Paris box or a soft fabric pouch to prevent scratching
• Keep away from direct sunlight and humidity — a cool, dry drawer is ideal
• Store separately from other jewelry to avoid contact scratches
• Consider a jewelry armoire with individual compartments if you have multiple pieces

Does Moissanite Lose Its Sparkle Over Time?

No — and this is one of moissanite’s greatest advantages. Unlike some gemstones that can become cloudy permanently, moissanite’s optical properties are stable for life. Any dullness you notice is simply surface buildup that cleans away completely. Your Aurevyn Paris moissanite will sparkle just as brilliantly in 50 years as it does today.

Final Thoughts

Caring for your moissanite jewelry is simple, affordable, and takes just minutes. With regular at-home cleaning and a few mindful daily habits, your Aurevyn Paris ring will remain a breathtaking symbol of your love story — for a lifetime and beyond.
