One of the best things about moissanite jewellery is that it’s not just beautiful — it’s also incredibly durable and easy to care for. But just like any fine jewellery, a little maintenance goes a long way in keeping your pieces looking their absolute best.
At Kofsky & Stone, we believe everyday jewellery should be both low-maintenance and long-lasting. Here’s everything you need to know about caring for your moissanite earrings, bracelets, and more.
Why Moissanite Is So Easy to Care For
Moissanite is one of the hardest gemstones on the market — second only to diamonds — with a 9.25 rating on the Mohs scale. That means it's extremely resistant to scratching, chipping, or dulling over time. However, dirt, oil, and product buildup can still reduce its shine if not cleaned regularly.
Simple At-Home Cleaning Routine
You don’t need fancy tools or expensive solutions to clean moissanite. Here's how to do it in minutes at home:
What you’ll need:
-
A bowl of warm water
-
Mild dish soap (free of moisturizers or oils)
-
A soft toothbrush or makeup brush
-
A lint-free cloth or microfiber towel
How to clean it:
-
Soak your moissanite jewellery in warm, soapy water for 10–15 minutes.
-
Gently brush around each stone, especially in the settings where residue collects.
-
Rinse with clean water and pat dry with a soft cloth.
This method works perfectly for our Lyra Moissanite Mini Hoops and Tennis Bracelets, which feature open prong settings that make cleaning easy and effective.

Bonus Tips to Keep Your Jewellery Looking New
-
Remove before swimming, showering, or applying lotion — These can leave behind residue or damage the metal over time.
-
Store pieces separately — Keep your jewellery in soft pouches or lined boxes to avoid scratching or tangling.
-
Wipe down after wearing — Use a soft cloth to remove oils or sweat, especially during warm weather.
When to Get a Professional Clean
If your jewellery starts to lose its sparkle even after cleaning, it may be time for a professional clean or polish — especially for pieces you wear every day. Sterling silver can tarnish slightly over time, but a jeweller can easily restore its original shine.
A Sparkle That Lasts
Moissanite is designed to shine — and with a little care, it will continue to sparkle like new for years to come. Whether it’s a gift, a treat-yourself piece, or a daily go-to, your moissanite jewellery deserves the love it gives back.
