Moissanite is durable, but hand lotion, soap, oil, sunscreen, and daily residue can reduce its brightness. Gentle routine cleaning helps light enter and leave the stone more freely.

A simple at-home method

1. Fill a small bowl with warm water and a small amount of mild dish soap.
2. Let the ring soak briefly to loosen residue.
3. Use a very soft toothbrush to clean beneath the stone, around the prongs, and along the gallery.
4. Rinse carefully in a separate bowl or with the drain securely closed.
5. Pat dry with a soft, lint-free cloth.

What to avoid

• Abrasive powders or rough brushes
• Bleach, chlorine, and harsh household cleaners
• Cleaning over an open drain
• Scraping beneath the stone with pins or metal tools

Check the ring before cleaning

Do not soak or brush a ring if the stone moves, a prong appears lifted, or the setting is visibly bent. Cleaning cannot correct structural damage.

Frequently asked questions

How often should a moissanite ring be cleaned?

Clean it when buildup begins to reduce sparkle. Frequency depends on lotions, soaps, work habits, and how often the ring is worn.

Can an ultrasonic cleaner be used?

The stone may tolerate ultrasonic cleaning, but not every setting or ring condition is suitable. A loose stone, delicate pavé, or damaged prong should be professionally assessed first.
