How to Clean Diamond and Moissanite Grillz or Jewelry Safely | VVSANDBETTER™ Guide

How to Clean Natural Diamonds, Lab Diamonds, and Moissanite

Keeping your jewelry clean is essential for maintaining shine, clarity, and long-term durability. Whether you own natural diamonds, lab diamonds, or moissanite, proper care makes a noticeable difference in appearance.

At VVSANDBETTER™, we recommend that all grillz and fine jewelry be professionally cleaned whenever possible.

We offer free cleanings for all items purchased from us, ensuring your piece stays in top condition without risk of damage.


Why Professional Cleaning Matters

While at-home cleaning can help maintain basic shine, improper techniques can damage your jewelry over time.

Grillz and custom jewelry are precision-made pieces. Incorrect cleaning methods can:

  • Loosen stones
  • Scratch gold surfaces
  • Dull the overall finish
  • Weaken settings over time

For this reason, we always recommend reaching out to us before using any cleaning product or method.


Recommended Cleaning Approach

The safest option is to have your jewelry cleaned by professionals.

If you are unable to visit us, there are a few safe at-home methods, but we strongly recommend contacting us first so we can guide you based on your specific piece.


What to Use for Safe Cleaning

If approved, the following are generally safe:

  • Mild soap and warm water
  • Approved jewelry cleaning solutions
  • Soft, lint-free cloths
  • Soft-bristled toothbrush (very light use)

These help remove buildup without damaging the metal or stones.


What to Avoid When Cleaning Jewelry

Improper cleaning is one of the most common causes of long-term damage. Avoid the following:

Using Harsh Chemicals

Harsh chemicals can damage gold and sterling silver, weaken settings, and dull the appearance of moissanite and diamonds.
Use instead: Mild soap or a jewelry cleaner recommended by us.


Cleaning with Hard Brushes

Hard or abrasive brushes can scratch metal and loosen stones.
Use instead: A soft-bristled toothbrush with gentle pressure.


Leaving Jewelry Wet

Allowing jewelry to air dry can leave water spots and reduce shine.
Use instead: Dry thoroughly with a clean, lint-free cloth.


Wearing During Intense Activity

Wearing grillz or jewelry during sports or heavy activity can lead to impact damage or buildup from sweat.
Recommendation: Remove jewelry during workouts or physically demanding activity.


Diamond vs Moissanite Cleaning

Natural diamonds, lab diamonds, and moissanite all require similar care when it comes to cleaning.

The key difference is not the stone—it is how the jewelry is made and maintained.

Proper cleaning methods and regular care will ensure all three maintain their brilliance over time.
