How To Care for Your Moissanite Engagement Ring

As more couples come to realize that diamond rings are both overpriced and exploitative, they're looking for alternatives for engagement rings - and moissanite is one of the best options!  Moissanite is a synthetic stone that's almost as hard as diamond, with the same crystal-clear clarity, but with an even higher refractive index.  Moissanite is also significantly less expensive than diamond.

In other words, moissanite is like diamond, but better! Plus, being synthetic, you can buy an engagement ring knowing that no one was hurt or exploited to make it. A moissanite engagement ring is a feel-good choice that can make a great start to your new lives together.

Moissanite is also easy to care for. Here's all you need to do to protect your moissanite ring and enjoy it for years to come.

How To Clean and Protect Your Moissanite Engagement Ring

Because moissanite is so tough and durable, you've got a lot of options in cleaning it which won't damage the gem.  Here are some of your best options:

1 - Soap and water

For most basic day-to-day cleaning, all you need is a mild soap and warm water. Simply place the moissanite engagement ring in a soapy water mix, then use a soft cloth or soft toothbrush to wipe off any oil or grime.

2 - Commercial cleaners

If your moissanite ring has become especially dirty, and you believe plain soap cannot handle the job, there are professional cleaning solutions made especially for hard-to-clean pieces.  Be careful to select one which is non-abrasive so that it doesn't risk damaging the surrounding metal. 

3 - Ultrasonic cleaners

For the most difficult cleaning jobs, ultrasonic jewelry cleaners are the other option. They produce intense vibrations that can shake even the most stubborn grime loose. However, be aware of the setting. Settings with thin prongs could potentially be damaged by the ultrasonic cleaning or lose hold of the stone(s).

How often should you clean your moissanite engagement ring? Honestly, not that often. Unless something has happened to make it dirty, you only need to clean it about once a month to maintain that dazzling sheen and sparkle.
