How to Care for Your Gold-Plated Moissanite Jewellery

Keeping your gold-plated moissanite pieces looking radiant is easy with a little regular care. Follow these simple steps to preserve their brilliance and protect the gold finish.

What You’ll Need:

• Soft microfibre or cotton cloth

• Mild dish soap

• Lukewarm water

• Small bowl

Cleaning Steps:

1. Prepare a Gentle Cleaning Solution
Fill a small bowl with lukewarm water and add a few drops of mild dish soap. Stir gently to combine.

2. Soak Your Jewellery
Place your moissanite jewellery into the bowl and let it soak for a few minutes. This helps loosen any built-up residue.

3. Clean with Care
Use a soft cloth or cotton swab to gently clean the jewellery, especially around the moissanite stones. Avoid scrubbing too hard to protect the gold plating.

4. Rinse Thoroughly
Rinse under lukewarm running water to remove all soap. Ensure no film is left behind, as this can dull the sparkle of your moissanite.

5. Dry Gently
Pat dry with a clean, soft cloth. Avoid paper towels or tissues, which can scratch the surface.

Things to Avoid:

To preserve the shine and integrity of your gold-plated moissanite jewellery:

• Harsh Chemicals: Household cleaners can strip gold plating and dull moissanite.

• Perfumes and Lotions: Apply beauty products before wearing your jewellery to avoid tarnishing.

• Swimming Pools and Spas: Chlorine and chemicals can erode the plating and damage stones.

Storage Tips:

When not in use, store your jewellery in a cool, dry place—preferably in a soft pouch or lined jewellery box. To prevent tarnishing, you can also add anti-tarnish strips.

Ongoing Maintenance:

Moissanite is known for its exceptional sparkle, but even the most brilliant stones benefit from care. Periodic professional cleaning and inspection can help maintain both beauty and structure over time.
