How to Care for Sterling Silver Moissanite Jewelry

Sterling silver moissanite jewelry is made for everyday wear — a few simple habits keep it bright for years. Here is everything you need to know.

Why does sterling silver tarnish?

Sterling silver is 92.5% silver mixed with other metals for strength. Over time those metals react with air, moisture, and chemicals, creating tarnish. Our pieces are rhodium-plated, which helps resist it — but good habits still matter.

Daily habits that protect it

  • Put jewelry on last, after lotion, perfume, and hairspray.
  • Take it off before showering, swimming, or the gym — water, soap, chlorine, and sweat are hard on silver and plating.
  • Wipe it with a soft cloth after wear to remove oils.

How to clean it

For everyday cleaning, gently buff with a soft polishing cloth. For a deeper clean, use warm water with a drop of mild dish soap, brush softly with a soft toothbrush, rinse, and pat dry. Avoid harsh chemicals and abrasive cleaners.

How to store it

Store pieces dry, separately, and away from direct sunlight — a small airtight bag or a lined box works well. Keeping out air and moisture is the single best way to slow tarnish between wears.

Does the moissanite need special care?

No. Moissanite is very hard (Mohs ~9.25) and will not cloud or lose its sparkle. If a stone looks dull, it is almost always surface film — a quick clean brings the brilliance right back.
