Jewelry Care
Caring for your moissanite gemstone is essential to maintain its brilliance and appearance. Below are simple steps to care for our moissanite jewelry:
-
Gentle Cleaning:
- Use a mild solution of warm water and a small amount of dish soap.
- Soak the moissanite jewelry for about 20-30 minutes.
- Gently scrub with a soft toothbrush to remove dirt and oils.
- Rinse thoroughly with warm water.
-
Avoid Harsh Chemicals:
- Moissanite is durable, but avoid exposing it to harsh chemicals.
- Remove your jewelry before using household cleaners, bleach, or swimming in chlorinated pools.
-
Soft Cloth for Drying:
- Pat the moissanite jewelry dry with a soft, lint-free cloth.
- Avoid using paper towels, which can scratch the metal or gemstone.
-
Proper Storage:
- Store your jewelry in a separate compartment or pouch to prevent scratching.
- Keep it away from other jewelry or items that may cause friction or damage.
-
Periodic Professional Inspection:
- Have your moissanite gemstone inspected by a local professional jeweler periodically.
- Ensure that the settings are secure and the stones are in good condition.
-
Avoid Impact:
- Although moissanite is durable, avoid subjecting it to unnecessary impact or rough handling.
- Remove jewelry before engaging in activities that might cause damage.
-
Polishing:
- Use a silver polishing cloth to gently polish your sterling silver.
- For intricate designs or detailed areas, a soft-bristle toothbrush can be used with a mild silver polish.
-
Prevent Tarnish:
- Wear your sterling silver jewelry often; the oils in your skin can help prevent tarnish.
- Avoid exposing silver to moisture, which can accelerate tarnishing.
- Remove jewelry before swimming or using household cleaning products.
-
Storage:
- Store sterling silver in a cool, dry place.
- Consider using anti-tarnish strips or pouches in your storage containers.
-
Avoid Exposure:
- Keep sterling silver away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures.
-
Regular Cleaning:
- If tarnish develops, a paste of baking soda and water can be applied with a soft cloth. Gently rub, rinse, and pat dry.
By following these simple steps, you can keep your moissanite gemstone and sterling silver jewelry looking radiant and well-maintained for years to come.
