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.

0.5ct Round Moissanite Solitaire Ring | 925 Silver

About This Product

A 0.5ct round brilliant moissanite (0.5 DEW, 5mm) lifted in a six-prong head, set on a rhodium-plated 925 sterling silver band with pave accent stones along each cathedral shoulder. It reads as a true engagement solitaire rather than a fashion piece, with the center stone raised high enough to clear a wedding band stacked beneath it. The moissanite is DEF colorless with VVS clarity, so the face-up look is white and eye-clean. Its 2.65 refractive index sits well above a diamond's 2.42, which is why the round brilliant throws the bold rainbow flashes you can see across the table here. At 9.25 on the Mohs scale it is second only to diamond for scratch resistance, so it holds polish through daily wear. Styling note: the six-prong basket and tapered cathedral shoulders draw the eye upward and make the 5mm center read larger than its DEW on the hand. The two pave-set rows flanking the head add sparkle without competing with the solitaire, so it works equally as a proposal ring or a right-hand statement. The 0.5 DEW size keeps it low-profile and snag-free under gloves or sleeves. Beyond the rhodium-finished white option, the center stone is also offered in blue, pink and golden-yellow for a more individual look that still keeps the classic silhouette. Specs: 0.5ct DEW (5mm) round brilliant moissanite, DEF color, VVS clarity, RI 2.65, 9.25 Mohs; six-prong setting; rhodium-plated 925 sterling silver; sizes 4.5-8.5.
