Your jewellery represents far more than simple accessories—it's an extension of your personality and style.

To ensure your jewellery continues sparkling as intensely as the first day you wore it, proper care becomes essential.
Here's your complete guide to maintaining radiant pieces for decades.
Why Proper Jewellery Care Matters
Quality moissanite jewellery represents significant investment in beauty and sustainability. With proper maintenance, your Loratta pieces will:
- Maintain maximum brilliance through decades of wear
- Preserve gold plating integrity for lasting luxury appearance
- Retain structural durability preventing damage and repair costs
- Protect investment value ensuring long-term satisfaction
Bottom line: Five minutes of weekly care protects years of enjoyment.
Moissanite Stone Care: Preserving Maximum Brilliance
Moissanite's exceptional hardness (9.25 Mohs scale) makes it incredibly durable, but proper cleaning maintains its superior fire and brilliance.
1. Regular Cleaning Protocol
Weekly cleaning method:
- Mix warm water with mild dish soap in small bowl
- Use soft-bristled toothbrush for gentle scrubbing
- Focus on stone facets where oils and debris accumulate
- Rinse thoroughly under warm running water
- Pat dry with lint-free microfiber cloth
Professional tip: Clean moissanite weekly to prevent buildup that diminishes brilliance. Unlike diamonds, moissanite's superior refractive index means proper cleaning delivers immediately visible sparkle enhancement.
2. Deep Cleaning for Maximum Sparkle
Monthly deep cleaning:
- Create solution with 1 part ammonia, 6 parts water
- Soak pieces for 15 minutes maximum
- Scrub gently with soft brush around settings
- Rinse extensively with clean water
- Dry completely before storage
Warning: Never use ultrasonic cleaners on gold-plated pieces, as vibrations can damage plating integrity.
3. Professional Maintenance Schedule
Annual professional cleaning ensures:
- Setting security inspection
- Prong tightness verification
- Professional polish restoration
- Stone security assessment
At Loratta, we recommend annual professional maintenance to preserve your lifetime warranty coverage.
Gold Plating Care: Maintaining Luxury Finish
Our premium gold plating delivers lasting beauty with proper care protocols.
1. Water Exposure Guidelines
Minimize water contact:
- Remove jewellery before showering or swimming
- Avoid chlorinated pools and saltwater exposure
- Take off pieces during water-based activities
- Dry immediately if accidental exposure occurs
Scientific fact: Chlorine and salt accelerate gold plating wear. Removing jewellery before water activities can extend plating life by 300%.
2. Gentle Polishing Techniques
Proper polishing method:
- Use dedicated jewellery polishing cloth
- Apply light pressure in straight motions
- Avoid circular rubbing that can create scratches
- Focus on one section at a time
- Never use paper towels or tissues
Loratta advantage: Our gold plating uses advanced bonding technology, but gentle care ensures maximum longevity.
3. Chemical Protection Strategies
Before applying these products, remove all jewellery:
- Perfumes and fragrances
- Lotions and moisturisers
- Hair products and styling gels
- Household cleaning chemicals
- Makeup and cosmetics
Pro tip: Apply perfumes and cosmetics first, wait 10 minutes, then put on jewellery to prevent chemical contact.
Proper Storage: Preventing Damage and Tarnishing
Strategic storage prevents scratches, tangling, and premature wear.
Storage Best Practices
Individual compartment storage:
- Use lined jewellery box compartments
- Wrap pieces in soft cloth pouches
- Keep chains untangled and laid flat
- Store rings in individual slots
- Maintain dry, temperature-controlled environment
Travel storage solutions:
- Dedicated travel jewellery cases
- Individual fabric pouches for each piece
- Avoid plastic bags that trap moisture
- Pack securely to prevent movement damage
Environmental Considerations
Optimal storage conditions:
- Temperature: Consistent room temperature (18-22°C)
- Humidity: Below 50% to prevent tarnishing
- Light exposure: Minimal direct sunlight
- Air circulation: Avoid sealed containers long-term
Lifestyle Integration: Wearing Your Jewellery Safely
Smart wearing habits preserve beauty whilst allowing daily enjoyment.
