When it comes to fine jewelry, there's no denying that moissanite is an incredibly popular choice. But does moissanite get cloudy? It's an understandable concern, especially when your investment in the stone can be considerable. Fortunately, the answer is a resounding no — moissanite will not cloud or change color over time.

Moissanite was first discovered by Nobel Prize-winning scientist Henri Moissan in 1893 and has since become one of the most sought-after gemstones for jewelry. Its hardness and durability make it a great option for daily wear rings and other pieces that are exposed to wear and tear. The same characteristics also make moissanite highly resistant to discoloration or clouding due to exposure to the elements.

The good news is that moissanite's clarity and color will never change or get cloudy, no matter how much you wear it.

Moissanite gems are graded on the same scale as diamonds and can be divided into categories from very slightly included (VS1) to very, very slightly included (VVS1), depending on the quality of the gem. No matter which grade you opt for, your moissanite will always remain just as lustrous and clear as it was when you first purchased it.

It's important to note that while moissanite won't cloud over time, it can still get dirty.

Like all gems, moissanite jewelry will benefit from regular cleaning and should be taken off before exercising or swimming. Moissanite is especially prone to accumulating dirt due to its multitude of facets, so once a month you should give your gemstones a gentle cleaning with warm water and mild soap. For tougher stains, use a specialized jewelry cleaner and a gentle, old toothbrush.
