Moissanite engagement rings from Filvera are a stunning, lasting choice designed to stand the test of time. With a hardness of 9.25-9.5 on the Mohs scale, moissanite is incredibly tough and resistant to scratching, making it an ideal option for everyday wear. That said, it still requires simple care to maintain its radiant look for years to come.

We’ve gathered the most common questions about caring for your Filvera moissanite engagement ring so you can keep it looking its best.

Can I wear my moissanite ring in the shower?
Yes—but it's best to remove it before showering. Water won't harm the stone, but soaps and conditioners can leave residue that dims the shine. A simple cleaning will fix this, but it’s easier to avoid buildup altogether.

Do I need to remove my ring when washing my hands?
No need, unless you're using harsh soaps. A gentle wash with mild soap is actually a great way to clean your ring. Just be cautious with strong chemicals that might wear down white gold plating over time.

What about using hand sanitiser?
It’s best to take off your ring before using hand sanitiser. The alcohol and other chemicals can weaken prongs and dull your ring’s finish. Always let your hands dry fully before putting the ring back on.

Is it safe in the pool?
We don’t recommend it. Chlorine can leave residue on your stone and damage the metals in your setting—especially 18k gold, which contains alloys like copper that are vulnerable to corrosion.

Can I wear it in the ocean?
Salt water can also corrode the setting over time and may loosen the prongs. Plus, cold water can cause your fingers to shrink, increasing the risk of the ring slipping off.

What about hot tubs?
Hot tubs pose the same risk as pools—chemicals can damage the metal and compromise the setting. Always remove your ring before soaking.

Should I sleep with my ring on?
To be safe, remove it before bed. Though sleeping with it on isn’t dangerous, you might accidentally snag the prongs or stone on fabric, which could loosen the setting over time.

Can I wear my ring 24/7?
Moissanite is built for daily wear, but some situations—like cleaning, working out, or gardening—can expose your ring to impacts and harsh chemicals. Use your judgement and take it off when needed to avoid unnecessary wear.

Is it gym-safe?
It’s not ideal to wear your ring at the gym, especially during weightlifting or any activity that could bend or stress the band.

Is it okay during workouts?
Light activities like jogging or yoga may be fine, but for anything high-impact, it’s best to store your ring safely.

When should I take off my ring?
Remove your ring before cleaning, cooking, swimming, gardening, exercising, or sleeping. Basically, anytime you feel it might get damaged or exposed to chemicals.

Where should I store it?
Always store your ring in a soft, secure place—like a fabric-lined box or a pouch—to avoid scratches, especially since moissanite can scratch other gemstones.

How do I clean it at home?
Soak it in warm, soapy water for a few minutes and gently scrub with a soft toothbrush. Rinse and dry with a lint-free cloth. Avoid abrasive products and harsh chemicals.

How often should I clean it?
Feel free to clean it at home as often as you like. Regular cleaning helps maintain its sparkle and removes everyday buildup.
