Soap or shampoo do not damage moissanite – the stone remains permanently clear and brilliant. Learn here why all jewelry can suddenly appear dull and how easily you can bring back the sparkle.
Important:
Always use a fine, soft makeup brush. Do not use toothbrushes or other hard brushes, as these could scratch the jewelry.
Hold the jewelry firmly with your fingers while brushing it underwater and do not move it around in the bowl, as the bowl can scratch the jewelry.
For gold-plated jewelry, the coating may wear off or peel over time after very long and intensive use. In this case, the jewelry should be cleaned with extra care or not at all, as the brush can remove the coating here.
Can moissanite become cloudy or fade?
No, moissanite is one of the most durable gemstones in the world. What is often perceived as cloudiness is surface dirt or a film of grease. Regular cleaning keeps your moissanite jewelry permanently brilliant.
Does soap, dish detergent, chlorine, or shampoo damage moissanite?
No, soap, chlorine, or shampoo do not damage moissanite. On the contrary, we even recommend cleaning moissanite jewelry with soap or dish detergent. Moissanite rings can simply be washed while washing your hands.
Why does my moissanite ring suddenly look dull?
A dull look is usually caused by residues of hand cream, limescale, shampoo, or skin oils that accumulate on your moissanite ring in everyday life. Moissanite itself does not become cloudy – it is the dirt that dampens the play of light and makes the stone appear less shiny.
Can I clean my moissanite jewelry with ultrasound?
Yes, moissanite is suitable for ultrasound as long as the stone is firmly set and has not become loose. However, this is the harshest method of cleaning, and the jewelry is not even perfectly clean after 10 minutes. A brush is much gentler, faster, and actually cleans by wiping the dirt away.
How do I easily clean moissanite jewelry at home?
The best and easiest way to clean moissanite jewelry is to place it in a bowl of warm water and a little soap or dish detergent. After a minute, you can simply brush away the impurities with a fine makeup brush. In our experience, this works best. For polishing, toilet paper, paper towels, or tissues are suitable because they are always clean, do not spread dirt, and absorb everything reliably. Many cloths or microfiber cloths, on the other hand, can smear dirt.
Why does my moissanite ring suddenly look cloudy, even though it should sparkle so brightly?
You bought your moissanite ring because moissanite jewelry is known for its brilliant sparkle, incredible clarity, and high quality. But suddenly, your moissanite ring looks matte and dull? Don't panic! The problem does not lie with the moissanite itself, but with everyday residues that accumulate on your moissanite ring.
Moissanite rings are extremely robust, but dirt, soap residues, skin cream, limescale, and grease form a layer on your moissanite jewelry that blocks the light and significantly dampens the sparkle of your moissanite ring. This effect occurs with all moissanite jewelry – just like with diamonds, sapphires, or rubies.
The moissanite stone itself remains consistently clear, colorfast, and brilliant – that is the strength of moissanite! With a Mohs hardness of 9.25, moissanite is almost as hard as diamond and extremely scratch-resistant.
Cleaning moissanite is easy: A gentle cleaning removes the layer of dirt and immediately restores the original shine of your moissanite ring. Whether moissanite rings, earrings, or necklaces – with proper care, your moissanite jewelry will retain its maximum sparkle and unique brilliance for many years.
Trust in the resilience and beauty of moissanite jewelry and never let your moissanite ring lose its radiance due to dirt and deposits!
Easily clean moissanite jewelry at home
Since we exclusively take real photos and videos of our jewelry, it is particularly important for us to have the jewelry clean so that no lint or dust is visible in the photos and videos that shouldn't be there. That is why we have tried everything imaginable.
We must say right away: Ultrasound is not good – neither for cleaning nor for the jewelry itself. Ultrasound is not optimal for glasses either, as the frame can be loosened by it. The same can happen with all types of jewelry. In addition, in our experience, ultrasound is not nearly as effective for cleaning as a simple makeup brush underwater. Even if a heavily soiled piece of jewelry is in the ultrasound for 10 minutes, it will not be nearly as clean as after just 1 minute of careful brushing underwater with a little soap or dish detergent. It really works best with a fine brush, water, and soap.
Simply take a bowl of water, add some dish detergent, and clean the jewelry with a fine brush. A simple brush with soft hairs, such as a makeup brush, is very suitable for this. Moissanite itself is very scratch-resistant, but 18k white gold is soft, which is why you should not use large, massive plastic brushes. The makeup brush is the winner here as you most likely already have one at home.
This works very well for every piece of our moissanite jewelry.
Those who want to bring their jewelry to a high shine daily can simply wipe it off with a paper towel. This ensures that the cloth itself does not smear the jewelry, as it is always clean and fresh. We deliberately do not provide a jewelry cleaning cloth, as these become "jewelry-dirtying cloths" after a while. A fresh paper towel is always clean, picks up even very fine particles, and gets into corners better than a polishing cloth.
Wiping the moissanite jewelry with a paper towel for 10 seconds once a day can bring out a lot of extra shine – especially for moissanite earrings and necklaces, as these are generally not touched throughout the day like rings.
Wearing moissanite jewelry in everyday life - without problems or concerns
Moissanite is made for everyday life – whether washing your hands, in the shower, or in the normal hustle and bustle. You don't have to take off your moissanite jewelry when you shower, cook, or clean. On the contrary: Especially when you are in motion, the stone shows what it can do. Shampoo, shower gel, cleaning agents, or hair masks leave no traces – because moissanite is neither coated nor porous and remains crystal clear.
Here you will find our moissanite rings, which even survive doing the dishes in style.
Moissanite jewelry is suitable for everyday use and scratch-resistant. With a hardness of 9.25 on the Mohs scale, moissanite is almost as hard as a diamond – and thus significantly more robust than cubic zirconia or many other gemstones. Scratches from glass, metal, or ceramic? No problem. Even with daily use, your moissanite ring remains like new.
We tried to saw through one of our moissanite rings – no chance. Then we exposed it to a flame – nothing. No cracks, no loss of shine.
This stone endures what others only dream of.
If anything gets scratched while washing up, it's more likely to be your dishes – not the stone. Moissanite is made for real wearers: for people who don't want to be careful, but live. The stone handles everything – and looks like you just came from the jeweler.
You don't have to go easy on your moissanite. Wear it. Every day. Without compromise.
Why moissanite jewelry is perfect for everyday life – scratch-resistant, durable, always brilliant
Moissanite jewelry for everyday life is more than just beautiful – it is made for movement, for real days, for everything in between. Whether moissanite ring, moissanite earrings, or moissanite necklace: These pieces not only look like they are from a display case, they stay that way – even if you wear them daily.
Jogging with moissanite brilliant ear studs? No problem. Cooking, showering, washing hair – a robust moissanite ring handles everything without losing its shine. Shampoo, dish detergent, or soap cannot harm this scratch-resistant stone. You don't need a sensitive gemstone that has to be handled with care – you need low-maintenance jewelry that can keep up.
Moissanite is almost as hard as a diamond. This means: No scratches, no cloudiness, no compromises on appearance – even after years. At the same time, moissanite is more sustainable than classic gemstones, because it is grown in a laboratory in an environmentally friendly way – without problematic mining.
Anyone looking for durable, sparkling, and everyday-suitable jewelry that neither breaks nor fades makes the best decision with moissanite jewelry for daily use. Shine, stability, and sustainability – without compromise.
Moissanite or diamond? The clever choice for sustainable, sparkling jewelry
Diamonds have always stood for luxury and eternity. No other gemstone is as hard – with a Mohs hardness of 10, they are considered the ultimate for engagement rings. But the beautiful appearance has its price: Mining is expensive, rare, and often associated with significant social and ecological problems.
A modern alternative shows that there is another way – for example with our solitaire moissanite ring in silver (1ct).
Moissanite is the modern, ethical alternative to diamond – without visual compromises. With a hardness of 9.25, it is almost as scratch-resistant as diamond and ideally suited for everyday life. Visually, it delights with an intense fire and brilliant sparkle that even surpasses many diamonds. The reason for this is its high refractive index of 2.65 (for comparison: diamond approx. 2.42) – as well as its double refraction, which refracts the light inside particularly vividly. The result: More shine, more life, more wow.
Moissanite jewelry vs. diamond jewelry - the advantages at a glance:
Hardness: Moissanite 9.25 vs. diamond 10 – barely any difference in everyday life
Brilliance: Moissanite shows more fire and sparkle than diamonds
Refractive index: Moissanite 2.65 with double refraction – more intense than diamond
Sustainability: Moissanite is manufactured in a lab – without mining, without exploitation
Price-performance: Significantly cheaper than diamond with a nearly identical look
Everyday suitability: Scratch-resistant, durable, resistant to water, soap, or care products
For everyone looking for sparkling, long-lasting, and ethically sound jewelry, moissanite is the smart alternative to the classic diamond. Whether for engagement rings, earrings, or necklaces – moissanite jewelry offers the look of a diamond, but with even more radiance – completely without its downsides.
Care instructions for moissanite jewelry made of 925 silver with 18k white gold plating
Our moissanite jewelry made of 925 sterling silver is usually plated with a high-quality 18k white gold plating. This high-quality combination not only ensures a luxurious look but also provides additional protection for the silver. Keeping your gold-plated moissanite rings, necklaces, and earrings shining for a long time is super easy.
How to properly care for gold-plated moissanite jewelry:
- Aggressive cleaning agents or chemicals can attack the white gold layer of your gold-plated 925 silver jewelry. Therefore, do not wear your jewelry while cleaning with harsh agents – although one should always wear protective gloves with such substances anyway, not just for the jewelry, but also for your skin.
- A soft polishing cloth easily removes fingerprints and light dirt. For more shine, you can use lukewarm water with a little mild dish detergent. Or use a fine brush to get into hard-to-reach places.
- Store correctly and dry: When cleaning with water, always rinse with clear water and dab off excess water. It is best to always store the jewelry in a jewelry box.
The gold-plated sterling silver, just like the moissanite, does not require much care. The metal just shouldn't come into contact with aggressive chemicals, which one should better avoid contact with in general. What damages the jewelry is usually also harmful to the skin, so always wear gloves.
Moissanite jewelry – durable, everyday-suitable, and brilliant
Moissanite jewelry stands for exceptional shine, extreme durability, and true sustainability. With an impressive hardness, moissanite is almost scratch-resistant and effortlessly defies the challenges of everyday life – whether washing your hands, showering, cooking, or playing sports. Soap, shampoo, or cleaning agents? No problem for this resilient stone.
In direct comparison with diamonds, moissanite jewelry convinces with a significantly better price – without sacrificing brilliance or appearance. At the same time, moissanite is the more environmentally friendly choice, because the stone is manufactured in a lab and avoids the ecological and ethical problems of classic gemstone mining.
Moissanite also has clear advantages over cubic zirconia: While cubic zirconia loses its shine over time and scratches more quickly, moissanite remains brilliant for years – even with daily wear. Therefore, anyone looking for long-lasting, sustainable, and high-quality jewelry with real sparkle makes the perfect choice with moissanite rings, moissanite necklaces, or moissanite earrings.
