Moissanite earrings don’t fade in the way cheaper stones can. Moissanite is a lab-created gemstone with color and brilliance that come from its internal crystal structure—not a surface coating—so normal wear won’t “wash out” the sparkle or turn the stone dull on its own.
If moissanite earrings start looking less bright, it’s almost always due to buildup (lotion, soap, hair products, makeup, skin oils) or light surface residue on the metal setting rather than a permanent change in the stone. A quick clean typically brings the fire and shine right back.
When shoppers ask about fading, they’re usually describing one of these issues:
Moissanite is very durable (high on the hardness scale), and its refractive properties remain stable. The stone itself won’t “wear out” from exposure to light or air. What can change is how much light enters and reflects back if residue builds up or if prongs/bezels get bent and trap grime around the edges.

Soak earrings in warm water with a small amount of mild dish soap, gently brush with a soft toothbrush (especially under the stone), rinse well, and dry with a lint-free cloth. Remove earrings before swimming or using harsh cleaners, and store them separately to avoid metal-on-metal scuffs.
Use warm water and mild dish soap, then lightly brush around the stone and under the setting with a soft toothbrush. Rinse thoroughly and dry with a lint-free cloth to restore sparkle.
