Step 1
While Moissanite is an uncommonly hard and durable gemstone (second only to diamond), it is not indestructible and in rare circumstances Moissanite may chip or break. Be sure to remove your Moissanite ring when you are participating in any activity that could cause it to strike a hard surface, such as sports, gardening, heavy cleaning or moving furniture.
You should also remove your Moissanite ring when you are cleaning, swimming, using a hot tub, or are otherwise exposed to chlorine. Chlorine can pit or discolor certain precious metals. -
Step 2
Carefully clean your Moissanite ring once a week to keep it looking brilliant, as dishwashing and cleaning soaps, hand lotions and body oils can build up on rings quickly and dull their shine. A commercial, non-acid based jewelry cleaner is ideal, but a mild dish detergent solution can also be effective in removing dirt and grime. Soak your ring in your preferred cleaning solution for several minutes, gently agitate, remove from the solution, and buff with a very soft cloth. Another quick and convenient option is an ultrasonic jewelry cleaner, which cleans without the use of soap or detergents.

Step 3
Finally, when you aren't wearing your Moissanite ring, take care in storing it. The best way to avoid abrasion and chipping is a jewelry box with felt lining and compartments that will keep your gemstones from touching and knocking against one another. Take care not to leave your ring on the edge of a sink or anywhere it may fall or be knocked against a hard surface.
