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.

Serpent-Scale Moissanite Ring | 0.5ct DEW | 925 Silver

About This Product

Jointed pavé segments march down each shoulder of this solitaire like the scales of a coiled serpent, giving the band an articulated, almost armoured texture that sets it apart from a plain shank. At the crown, a round-brilliant moissanite sits in a six-prong head, raised high so light reaches the pavilion and bounces back through the segmented sides. The science behind the shine: moissanite's 2.65 refractive index outperforms diamond's 2.42, so the round cut returns more fire, while 9.25 Mohs hardness means those crisp scale-like segments and the center stone stay sharp through everyday wear. The moissanite is graded DEF colorless and VVS clarity in unplated 925 sterling silver. 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: Six-prong solitaire on a segmented serpent-scale pavé band Expert take: the raised metal dividers between each pavé panel create a play of light and shadow that makes the band itself a feature, not just a backdrop — a bolder, more unisex look than a smooth solitaire. It wears well alone where the segmented texture can be seen up close. Choose a White (DEF colorless) center for maximum contrast against the silver scales, or Blue, Pink, and Yellow stones for character. Clean with warm soapy water and a soft brush to lift grime from between the segments, and store apart from harder jewelry so the raised edges keep their definition. Available in ring sizes 4.5 through 8.5.
