Caring for Your Moss Agate Ring

Your moss agate ring is a living piece of nature — and with the right care, it will remain as stunning as the day you first wore it. Here's what you need to know to protect your stone and setting for years to come.

Daily Wear Tips

Moss agate ranks 6.5–7 on the Mohs hardness scale, which means it's durable enough for everyday wear but benefits from a little mindfulness. We recommend removing your ring when:

• Doing heavy manual work, gardening, or gym activities
• Swimming in chlorinated pools or saltwater
• Applying lotions, perfumes, or cleaning products
• Washing dishes or handling harsh chemicals

These precautions help preserve both the stone's surface and the integrity of your setting.

How to Clean Your Moss Agate Ring

Cleaning your ring at home is simple. Follow these steps:

1. Fill a small bowl with lukewarm water and a drop of mild dish soap.
2. Soak your ring for 5–10 minutes.
3. Gently scrub with a soft-bristle toothbrush, paying attention to the underside of the stone and around the prongs.
4. Rinse thoroughly under clean, lukewarm water.
5. Pat dry with a soft, lint-free cloth and allow to air dry completely before storing.

Avoid: ultrasonic cleaners, steam cleaning, and harsh chemical jewelry cleaners — these can damage the stone's surface or loosen the setting.

Storage

Store your moss agate ring separately from harder gemstones like diamonds or sapphires, which can scratch its surface. A soft pouch or a lined jewelry box compartment is ideal. Keeping it away from direct sunlight and extreme temperature changes will also help preserve its color over time.

Professional Care

We recommend having your ring inspected by a jeweler once a year to check the setting and prongs. A professional clean every 12–18 months will also keep your stone looking its best.
