You get up before the sun, grab a cup of coffee, and you’re on your way to the office, the gym or the carpool line. After you’ve slayed all day, you’re busy getting ready for what tomorrow brings.
We know the term “self-care” is totally overplayed, but you work hard, so why not indulge in those occasional “treat yourself” moments when you can? Enter moissanite jewelry. These lab grown silicon carbide gemstones radiate rainbow-colored light like a diamond, but they come with a less hefty price tag, making them a splurge-worthy gift for yourself without a heaping helping of guilt. (Plus these lab made stones are nearly as hard and every bit as sparkly as a diamond, so no one will be able to tell the difference!)
Whether you select moissanite earrings, a ring, a necklace — or all three — you’re probably also looking for jewelry that won't add one more thing to your to-do list. Good news! Moissanite is exceptionally low maintenance. Keep the brilliance of your jewelry intact for generations with our primer on how to clean moissanite.
best ways to clean moissanite
Like traditional diamonds, moissanite does require some maintenance to keep its sparkle, well, sparkly. Whether you’re wondering how to clean rings at home or you need some of the best ways to clean moissanite diamond necklaces and earrings, here’s are a few methods to do just that: grab a small, soft-bristled brush, warm water and soap
Mix up a solution of a few drops of mild detergent or soap (think baby shampoo or dish soap) and lukewarm water. Dip your brush into the solution — a toothbrush is A-OK — and start cleaning. If you’re cleaning a moissanite ring, carefully brush the setting’s grooves and any place where dirt, oil or other buildup can collect. Dry your jewelry with a soft cloth. use a store-bought cleaning solution
Want to make things even simpler than plain old soap and water? Purchase a commercial jewelry cleaner. Be sure to follow the directions for soaking your moissanite jewelry, and remove any buildup with a small brush provided. Just make sure the cleaner you purchase won’t damage any finishes or porous stones. P.S.: We have jewelry cleaner to clean moissanite stones (and other jewelry) available in our stores and online. bring it to a jeweler
You can find ultrasonic cleaners online and at the big-box stores, but wouldn’t you rather leave the cleaning to the professionals? A reputable jeweler can restore your dull ring or earrings into polished moissanite masterpieces that look as good as new. Helzberg is thrilled to offer free jewerly cleanings at all of our locations.moissanite care tips
Like its diamond counterparts, moissanite can last an eternity, but you still have to follow some simple care tips to keep them in tip-top shape: wipe them down
We know you have a million things to remember on any given day. Set out a soft cloth near your toothbrush, and try to remember to give your jewelry a quick wipedown before you brush your teeth. If you skip a day, no worries. You should probably not skip teeth-brushing, though. store them away
You’re probably not going to put your engagement or wedding ring in a jewelry box each day, but what about those moissanite earrings you bought yourself as a reward for hitting a career milestone? Store them in a cool, dry place when you’re not wearing them. check for tarnish
While your moissanite gemstone won’t tarnish, some of your chains and ring settings may. Polish metal as needed to keep it shining like your moissanite stones.
Whether every day is a “treat yourself” day, or you give yourself small rewards for adulting throughout the year, expand your jewelry collection and celebrate yourself with a moissanite diamond-alternative ring, necklace or earrings from Helzberg Diamonds.
