Jewelry Care Guide: Keep Your TABAT Pieces Sparkling

How to Care for Your Moissanite Jewelry

Your TABAT jewelry is designed to last a lifetime with proper care. Here's everything you need to know to keep your pieces looking brilliant and beautiful.

Daily Care Tips

What to Avoid:

  • Harsh chemicals: Remove before cleaning, swimming, or using beauty products
  • Physical impact: Take off during exercise, gardening, or heavy lifting
  • Extreme temperatures: Avoid hot tubs, saunas, or freezing conditions

Safe Activities:

  • Daily wear is encouraged! Moissanite loves to sparkle
  • Hand washing and showering (though removal extends life)
  • Office work and normal daily activities

Cleaning Your Moissanite

Weekly Cleaning (Recommended):

  1. Prepare cleaning solution: Mix warm water with a few drops of mild dish soap
  2. Soak briefly: Let jewelry sit for 2-3 minutes
  3. Gentle scrubbing: Use a soft toothbrush to clean around prongs and settings
  4. Rinse thoroughly: Use warm running water
  5. Dry completely: Pat with soft cloth, let air dry completely

Monthly Deep Clean:

  1. Create ammonia solution: 1 part ammonia to 6 parts water
  2. Soak for 10 minutes: Completely submerge jewelry
  3. Scrub gently: Pay attention to back of stone and prong areas
  4. Rinse well: Ensure all ammonia is removed
  5. Polish: Use jewelry polishing cloth for final shine

Caring for Gold-Plated Settings

Gentle Approach:

  • Use only mild soap solutions
  • Avoid abrasive materials or harsh chemicals
  • Pat dry rather than rubbing vigorously
  • Polish with appropriate jewelry cloth

Signs of Wear:

  • Slight color changes after extensive wear are normal
  • Professional replating available if needed
  • Quality plating should last years with proper care

Storage Solutions

Best Practices:

  • Individual storage: Keep pieces separate to prevent scratching
  • Soft environment: Use jewelry boxes with soft lining
  • Avoid moisture: Store in dry environment
  • Organization: Separate by metal type when possible

Travel Storage:

  • Use individual pouches or compartments
  • Avoid loose storage in makeup bags
  • Consider travel jewelry cases with secure compartments

Quick Reference Care Schedule

  • Daily: Remove for chemicals, exercise, heavy work
  • Weekly: Gentle soap and water cleaning
  • Monthly: Deep ammonia cleaning

Remember: The more you wear your TABAT jewelry, the more joy it brings. These care tips ensure your pieces remain as brilliant as the day you first put them on.
