Keep Your Jewelry Sparkling for Years to Come

At Luna Moissanite, every piece is crafted to bring lasting brilliance and timeless beauty to your everyday moments. With proper care, your moissanite jewelry can continue to sparkle beautifully for years to come.

Follow these simple care guidelines to help protect your jewelry, preserve its finish, and maintain its brilliance.


Everyday Care

A little care goes a long way. To help keep your jewelry looking its best:

  • Remove your jewelry before exercising, doing household chores, gardening, or other strenuous activities.
  • Remove jewelry before showering, bathing, swimming, or using a hot tub.
  • Avoid sleeping while wearing your jewelry to reduce friction and unnecessary stress.
  • Put your jewelry on after applying perfume, lotions, cosmetics, or hairspray.
  • Avoid prolonged contact with water, sweat, and moisture.
  • Handle your jewelry gently, especially around gemstone settings and prongs.

Protect Your Jewelry from Chemicals

Chemicals can affect both metal finishes and gemstones over time.

We recommend avoiding direct contact with:

  • Perfumes and fragrances
  • Lotions and creams
  • Sunscreen
  • Hairspray and cosmetics
  • Household cleaning products
  • Chlorine and saltwater
  • Other harsh chemicals

If your jewelry comes into contact with any of these substances, gently rinse it with clean water and dry it thoroughly with a soft cloth.


Caring for Plated Jewelry

Many of our jewelry pieces feature 18K gold, rose gold, or rhodium plating over genuine 925 sterling silver.

Plating is a thin decorative finish and may naturally wear over time depending on factors such as:

  • Frequency of wear
  • Friction and contact with other surfaces
  • Exposure to water and moisture
  • Perfumes, lotions, and chemicals
  • Individual body chemistry

To help extend the life of the plating:

  • Remove jewelry before swimming, showering, or exercising.
  • Avoid rubbing your jewelry against other jewelry or hard surfaces.
  • Keep jewelry away from perfumes, lotions, and household chemicals.
  • Store each piece separately when not in use.

White gold color / rhodium-plated jewelry: If you prefer a bright, silvery-white finish, our rhodium-plated pieces are an excellent choice. Proper care will help preserve their shine and finish.


How to Clean Your Moissanite Jewelry

Regular gentle cleaning helps remove oils, dust, and everyday buildup while keeping your moissanite sparkling.

Simple At-Home Cleaning

1. Prepare the Cleaning Solution
Fill a small bowl with lukewarm water and add a small amount of mild dish soap.

2. Soak Your Jewelry
Let your jewelry soak for approximately 5–10 minutes.

3. Gently Clean
Use a soft-bristled toothbrush or soft jewelry brush to gently clean the gemstone and hard-to-reach areas.

Be especially gentle around the prongs and gemstone settings.

4. Rinse Thoroughly
Rinse with clean lukewarm water to remove any remaining soap.

5. Dry Carefully
Gently pat dry with a soft, lint-free cloth and allow the jewelry to dry completely before storing or wearing it.

Important

Avoid abrasive cleaners, rough brushes, polishing compounds, and harsh chemicals, as they may damage the jewelry's finish or plating.


Caring for Your Moissanite

Moissanite is an exceptionally durable gemstone with a 9.25 Mohs hardness, making it highly suitable for everyday wear.

However, hardness does not mean the gemstone is completely damage-proof.

To protect your moissanite:

  • Avoid dropping or striking your jewelry against hard surfaces.
  • Remove jewelry during activities that may involve strong impact.
  • Avoid exposing jewelry to extreme heat or sudden temperature changes.
  • Clean gently around gemstone settings to avoid putting unnecessary pressure on the prongs.

With proper care, your moissanite can maintain its brilliance and beauty for years to come.


Safe Storage

Proper storage helps prevent scratches, tangling, and unnecessary wear.

When you're not wearing your jewelry:

  • Store each piece separately in a soft jewelry pouch or lined jewelry box.
  • Keep jewelry away from direct sunlight and excessive heat.
  • Avoid storing different pieces together where they may rub against each other.
  • Make sure your jewelry is completely dry before storing it.
  • Keep your jewelry in a secure, designated place to reduce the risk of loss.

What to Avoid

For the best long-term care, we recommend removing your jewelry before:

  • Swimming in pools or the ocean
  • Showering or bathing
  • Exercising or playing sports
  • Gardening or doing household chores
  • Applying perfume, lotion, or cosmetics
  • Using household cleaning products
  • Performing activities involving heavy impact or friction
