Does Moissanite Get Cloudy Over Time?

By Bellari – Fine Moissanite Jewellery in Australia

The Short Answer

No — high-quality moissanite will not get cloudy over time. The sparkle you see on day one is the same brilliance you’ll enjoy decades later. If your moissanite ever appears dull, it’s almost always due to surface buildup — not damage to the stone itself.

At Bellari, we use only premium, D-colour, VVS clarity moissanite, ensuring that every piece maintains its clarity and fire for a lifetime.

Why Moissanite Stays Clear

Moissanite is made of silicon carbide — an incredibly stable, durable material that ranks 9.25 on the Mohs hardness scale (just under diamond). This means:

  • No yellowing over time

  • No permanent clouding from everyday wear

  • Resistant to scratches that could dull its surface

When cared for properly, moissanite will look as brilliant decades from now as it does today.

Why Your Moissanite Might Look Dull (and How to Fix It)

If your moissanite has lost some sparkle, it’s usually just surface residue. Common culprits include:

  • Hand creams and lotions

  • Soap or shampoo buildup

  • Oils from skin contact

  • Household dust or debris

The fix: A gentle clean is all it takes. At Bellari, we recommend:

  1. Fill a small bowl with warm water and a few drops of mild dish soap

  2. Soak your jewellery for 10–15 minutes

  3. Use a soft toothbrush to gently scrub the stone and setting

  4. Rinse thoroughly and dry with a lint-free cloth

 Caring for Your Bellari Moissanite

While moissanite is low-maintenance, a little care goes a long way:

  • Remove before applying hand creams or perfumes
  • Store separately to avoid metal scratches
  • Clean every 2–4 weeks if worn daily

💬 Bellari’s Take

Cloudiness is a common worry — but with premium moissanite, it’s a myth. Our stones are cut for maximum brilliance and built to last for generations. The only thing that will dull your Bellari piece is a little dust — and that’s easily fixed with a quick clean.
