Introduction
People often ask me, “Can moissanite get ruined? Isn’t it supposed to be super durable?”
Yes, moissanite is incredibly strong and brilliant—but like all precious things, it needs proper care.
In this post, I’ll walk you through what can actually damage your moissanite and how to protect it for long-lasting sparkle.
This guide is based on real concerns, like “What ruins moissanite?”, “Can moissanite get cloudy?”, and “Can I wear moissanite daily?”
1. Daily Wear & Common Risks
Your daily routine may seem harmless—but for moissanite, small habits can lead to long-term wear.
- Kitchen Exposure: Oil, steam, and acidic cleaners can leave residue on the stone and dull its shine.
- Intense Exercise: High-impact activities (like weightlifting or boxing) increase risk of hard knocks and metal loosening.
- Beach Days: Sand is abrasive. Over time, it can scratch the surface and cloud its sparkle.
🟡 Tip: Remove your moissanite jewelry when cleaning, cooking, exercising, or swimming.
2. What Really Damages Moissanite
| Harmful Factor | What It Does | Prevention Strategy |
|---|---|---|
| High Heat (>300°C) | Weakens adhesives, can alter polish | Avoid ovens, saunas, hot steam |
| Hard Impact | May chip edges or create microfractures | Remove jewelry during sports |
| Strong Chemicals | Tarnishes metal settings, leaves residues | Keep away from bleach, vinegar, detergent |
Does moissanite get cloudy?
Not internally. But a dirty surface can appear foggy or dull. It’s usually reversible with proper cleaning.
3. Proper Cleaning Methods
💧 Daily Cleaning
- Use lukewarm water and mild soap.
- Gently scrub with a soft toothbrush, focusing on crevices.
- Rinse well and pat dry with a lint-free cloth.
💎 Deep Cleaning (Once Every 2-3 Months)
- Soak in warm water + baby shampoo for 10–15 minutes.
- Use an ultrasonic cleaner only if your jewelry is rated safe for it.
- Always air-dry completely before storing.
🧼 Professional Polish
If your stone looks scratched or dull, take it to a professional jeweler for polishing and inspection.
4. Storage Tips to Prevent Scratches
Moissanite may be hard—but it can still scratch other jewelry or get scratched in return.
- Store individually: Use soft pouches or separate compartments.
- Avoid humid places: Moisture can oxidize metal settings.
- Travel smart: Use compact, cushioned travel jewelry boxes.
🟡 Remember: Jewelry shouldn’t mingle. Keep your pieces apart like precious treasures.
