How to Clean Moissanite Ring – Keep Your Sparkle Timeless

Moissanite is known for its exceptional brilliance — often outshining even diamonds in fire and sparkle. But like any gemstone, it can collect residue, oils, and dirt with regular wear. Fortunately, Moissanite is extremely easy to clean and maintain. Whether your ring is used daily or only on special occasions, following a proper care routine will keep it glowing for years.

Here’s a complete guide on how to clean a Moissanite ring safely at home — using simple tools and best practices.

1. What You'll Need

To clean your Moissanite ring at home, prepare the following:

  • A small bowl of warm water (not hot)
  • A few drops of mild dish soap (avoid harsh chemicals)
  • A soft-bristled toothbrush or a baby toothbrush
  • A microfiber or lint-free cloth
  • Optional: ammonia for deep cleaning (1 part ammonia to 2 parts water)

2. Step-by-Step Cleaning Guide

Step 1: Soak the Ring

Mix warm water with a few drops of dish soap in a small bowl. Gently place your ring into the solution and let it soak for 10–15 minutes. This helps loosen any built-up grime, lotion, or oil.

Step 2: Gently Brush the Setting

Use the soft toothbrush to carefully scrub the ring. Focus on areas behind the stone, under the setting, and in the prongs where dirt tends to accumulate. Use gentle circular motions to avoid scratching the silver or disturbing the setting.

Step 3: Rinse Thoroughly

Rinse your ring under lukewarm running water to remove soap residue. Be sure to plug the sink or use a bowl to avoid accidentally losing the ring.

Step 4: Dry with Care

Pat the ring dry using a soft microfiber cloth. Avoid using paper towels or tissues, as they can scratch the metal.

3. Optional Deep Cleaning (Once a Month)

If you wear your ring daily or use heavy creams, a deeper monthly clean is useful. Add a few drops of ammonia to your soap solution (1 part ammonia to 2 parts water), soak for 5–7 minutes, then follow the same brushing and drying steps.

⚠️ Avoid ultrasonic cleaners unless the ring is free of pavé or side stones, as intense vibrations can loosen smaller settings.

With just a little care, your Moissanite ring will keep dazzling like the day you got it.
