The core routine

Three habits protect most jewelry

Care begins with reducing chemical exposure, impact, moisture, and friction. These habits matter especially for plated sterling silver.

01

Wipe

After wear, use a clean, dry, lint-free cloth to remove skin oils and residue.

02

Separate

Store pieces individually so stones, chains, and metal surfaces do not rub together.

03

Inspect

Check clasps, prongs, links, and earring backs before wearing.

Cleaning moissanite jewelry with a soft brush

Material-specific care

Choose what you are cleaning

When a piece combines materials, follow the care method for the most delicate component.

Moissanite and hard stones

Body oils can temporarily soften a stone’s brilliance without changing the stone itself.

  • Soak briefly in lukewarm water with a small amount of mild dish soap.
  • Use a soft brush around and beneath the setting.
  • Rinse thoroughly and dry with a lint-free cloth.
  • Inspect prongs and settings; stop wearing the piece if a stone moves.

Care by jewelry type

Protect the structure as well as the finish

Rings

Remove before hand washing, lifting, gardening, cleaning, and applying lotion. Check prongs after impact.

Chains and necklaces

Fasten before storage and lay flat or hang separately. Never pull a knot tight; work it loose gently.

Earrings

Clean posts and backs carefully, keep pairs separated, and check backing tension before wear.

Bracelets

Remove before exercise and manual work. Do not overstretch elastic, tennis, or link designs.

A safe home kit

Five tools are enough

  • Mild, fragrance-free dish soap
  • Soft-bristled jewelry brush
  • Clean microfiber or lint-free cloth
  • Anti-tarnish strips for silver storage
  • Separated pouches or a lined jewelry box
Avoid shortcuts: toothpaste, baking soda, bleach, ammonia, rough paper towels, and unverified cleaning solutions can scratch metal, weaken finishes, or damage stones.

Jewelry care FAQ

Answers before you clean

How should I clean moissanite jewelry?
Use lukewarm water, mild dish soap, and a soft brush. Rinse thoroughly and dry with a lint-free cloth. Stop if the setting feels loose.
Can I shower or swim in gold-plated jewelry?
No. Water, soap, chlorine, salt, heat, and friction accelerate normal plating wear. Remove plated jewelry first.
Can I use an ultrasonic cleaner?
Do not use one on plated jewelry, delicate settings, or porous gemstones. Ask a professional jeweler when you are unsure of the stone, treatment, or construction.
Does moissanite pass a diamond tester?
Many standard thermal testers register moissanite because it conducts heat efficiently. Advanced electrical testing and gemological examination distinguish moissanite, which is silicon carbide, from diamond, which is carbon.
What does the YueF limited warranty cover?
The existing YueF policy describes a one-year limited warranty for manufacturing defects. Normal plating wear, tarnish, impact damage, improper care, and third-party alterations are not manufacturing defects. Contact customer care for case-specific review.
