The Ultimate Moissanite & Lab-Diamond Ring Cleaning Guide
We understand your ring is a symbol of your enduring love and commitment, serving as a tangible representation of the cherished moments created by the beautiful couple to whom they belong. It tells your story - the start of a life together, a vow made in love, and the legacy you’ll carry forward. Because you don’t just wear jewellery; you wear the meaning behind it. You wear, forever.
To preserve the radiance of your moissanite or lab-grown diamond engagement ring, it’s essential to establish a routine of proper care. Here’s everything you need to know about maintaining its timeless beauty.
Does Moissanite Get Cloudy?
A common concern when choosing moissanite is whether it will lose its brilliance over time. Rest assured, moissanite is created from silicon carbide (SiC) and will never become cloudy, discoloured, or change in appearance. It will retain its fire, brilliance, colour, and clarity for a lifetime.
However, with everyday wear, exposure to beauty products, dirt, and natural oils can make your moissanite ring appear dull. This is completely normal and happens to all fine jewellery - but with regular cleaning, your moissanite will maintain its signature sparkle effortlessly.
How to Clean Your Engagement Ring at Home
What You’ll Need:
- Mild dish soap
- Hot water
- Soft toothbrush
- Polishing cloth
- Paper towel
- Small bowl
Step-by-Step Cleaning Guide:
- Fill a small bowl with hot water and a few drops of mild dish soap. Stir gently to create a soapy solution.
- Place your ring in the bowl and let it soak for a few minutes to loosen any buildup.
- Using a soft toothbrush, gently scrub your moissanite ring, focusing on all crevices - especially the underside of the centre stone where dirt accumulates.
- Rinse your ring thoroughly under warm running water. The water pressure will help remove any remaining soap residue.
- Pat your ring dry with a paper towel, then polish it gently with your TMC Fine Jewellers polishing cloth for a radiant finish.
For best results, we recommend cleaning your ring weekly to maintain its brilliance.
