Does Moissanite Require Special Care?

Moissanite is an ideal substitute for diamonds because it is cheap, bright and never fades. However, moissanite and diamond have a common characteristic, that is, it is oilophilic, so it needs regular maintenance and cleaning. Key care tips: 

1.Clean regularly with mild soap, warm water, and a soft brush to remove dirt and oils.If not cleaned for a long time, the stain is more stubborn, you can also use ultrasonic cleaning machine to clean, clean with a dry soft cloth dry.
2.Avoid harsh chemicals (e.g., bleach, chlorine) to prevent metal setting damage.
3.Store separately to avoid scratching softer gems.
4.Stay away from bright light Moissanite in a strong light, or high temperature environment, due to thermal expansion and contraction, will make its internal structural molecules expand, crack cracks, affect its beauty, more likely to have the risk of brittle rupture. Therefore, when wearing or placing, stay away from strong light and heat sources.

Moissanite resists scratches and retains brilliance well, making it low-maintenance compared to many gems.
