Care Tips for Moissanite Jewellery in Australian Climates

 

Moissanite jewellery is loved for its brilliance, ethical sourcing, and lifetime durability—making it the ideal choice for couples across Australia. From humid summers to salty coastal air, Australia's unique climate can affect how you care for your moissanite pieces.

At Gems of Elah, we believe sustainable luxury should be as enduring as it is beautiful. Here's how to keep your moissanite jewellery looking flawless, no matter where in Australia you wear it.

 


Why Moissanite Is Perfect for Australian Conditions

Moissanite offers unmatched brilliance with a hardness of 9.25 on the Mohs scale—second only to diamond. Whether you're navigating the beaches of Byron Bay or the city streets of Sydney, your moissanite jewellery is built for every adventure.

Beyond beauty, moissanite is ethically sourced and lab-grown, reducing the environmental toll and offering a sustainable alternative to traditional diamonds.

 


1. Shield from Harsh UV, Chemicals & Saltwater

Australia’s sun can be harsh, and while moissanite itself won’t fade, build-up from sunscreen, pool chlorine, and saltwater can affect its sparkle.
Quick Tip:

  • Remove jewellery before swimming or applying lotions.
  • Rinse gently with warm water afterward.

 


2. Maintain Sparkle with Gentle Cleaning

To keep that expertly-cut brilliance shining:

  • Soak in warm water and mild soap for 10 minutes.
  • Gently brush with a soft toothbrush.
  • Rinse and pat dry with a lint-free cloth.

This regular care routine keeps your jewellery looking its most luxurious.

 


3. Avoid Rough Surfaces and Hard Knocks

Moissanite is durable—but metal settings can wear down over time if exposed to rough surfaces.
Pro Tip:

  • Take rings off before hitting the gym or cleaning.
  • Store jewellery in a fabric-lined box (our complimentary velvet pouches are perfect!) when not in use.

 


4. Book Professional Inspections

Ensure long-term wear by having your jewellery inspected to tighten settings and check the integrity of your piece.

 


5. Ethical Luxury that Reflects Your Values

Choosing moissanite isn’t just about aesthetics—it’s a commitment to sustainability. Unlike mined diamonds, our moissanite stones are lab-grown with minimal environmental impact.
Australian customers are increasingly choosing moissanite for its ethical background, sustainable benefits, and affordable luxury.

With just a little care, your moissanite jewellery will remain as radiant and refined as the day you received it. Designed for everyday wear and backed by our lifetime guarantee, Gems of Elah’s moissanite pieces are made for Australians who value both style and substance.
