Is moissanite a real diamond?

Moissanite is not a diamond—it's a distinct gemstone with its own unique properties. Originally discovered in a meteor crater in 1893, today's moissanite is lab-created. It actually has more brilliance and fire than diamonds due to its higher refractive index (2.65 vs 2.42), while being nearly as hard (9.25 vs 10 on the Mohs scale).

Will moissanite pass a diamond tester?

Standard diamond testers measure thermal conductivity, and moissanite often passes these tests because both stones conduct heat similarly. Advanced testers that measure electrical conductivity can distinguish between them. We believe in transparency—our moissanite is beautiful in its own right.

Does moissanite get cloudy over time?

No, moissanite does not get cloudy, lose its sparkle, or change color over time. It's a stable, durable gemstone that maintains its brilliance for a lifetime with proper care. Unlike some simulants, moissanite is highly resistant to scratching, heat, and everyday chemicals.

Can I wear moissanite jewelry every day?

Absolutely! With a hardness of 9.25 on the Mohs scale (second only to diamond), moissanite is extremely durable and perfect for everyday wear, including engagement rings. We recommend removing jewelry during activities involving harsh chemicals or extreme impact.

What is your return policy?

We offer a 90-day worry-free return policy. If you're not 100% satisfied with your purchase, you can return it within 90 days for a full refund. All our moissanite jewelry also comes with a lifetime warranty covering manufacturing defects and stone clouding.

Round Moissanite Solitaire Ring | 0.5ct Bar-Accent Silver

About This Product

Clean lines define this round-brilliant solitaire, where a 0.5ct DEW moissanite sits in a four-prong head flanked by slim horizontal bar accents and a single line of pavé running down each shoulder. The geometry is the appeal: those polished side bars frame the center stone like brackets, giving an architectural, modern-minimalist look rather than the busy halo treatments seen elsewhere. Moissanite earns its place here on optics — a 2.65 refractive index versus diamond's 2.42 means the round cut returns more fire and brightness, and at 9.25 Mohs it resists the scratching that fogs cheaper stones over time. The center is graded DEF colorless and VVS clarity, set high enough to catch light from every angle. Spec block: Stone: Moissanite (lab-grown) Cut: Round brilliant Center size: 0.5ct DEW (~5mm) Color: DEF colorless Clarity: VVS Metal: 925 sterling silver Setting: Four-prong solitaire with horizontal bar accents and pavé shoulders Expert take: the bar-accent shoulders raise the profile of a half-carat stone without adding bulk, so it photographs and wears like something larger — a smart pick for a first ring or a slim-finger fit. Choose a White (DEF colorless) center for a classic look, or Blue, Pink, and Yellow stones for a personal accent. Keep it bright by wiping with warm soapy water and a soft brush around the prongs, and store it apart from harder pieces so the polished bars stay mirror-clean. Available in ring sizes 4.5 through 8.5.
