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 | 5mm DEW Silver

About This Product

Choose a solitaire that puts the whole carat budget into one brilliant-cut stone. This ring centers a single 0.5ct DEW (5mm) round brilliant moissanite raised in a six-prong head, so light enters from every facet and the stone reads larger than its footprint on the finger. Moissanite is the proof, not just the price. At a 2.65 refractive index it bends and returns more light than a diamond's 2.42, which is the fire you see scattering from the crown. The stone is graded DEF colorless and VVS clarity, and at 9.25 on the Mohs scale it shrugs off daily wear better than almost any gem except diamond itself. The band is genuine 925 sterling silver, rhodium-plated white per the photo for a bright, diamond-look finish that resists tarnish. Styling take: the shank is deliberately slim and tapers as it meets the basket, which makes the 5mm stone the only thing your eye lands on and keeps the profile low enough to stack a plain or pave band alongside it. The six-prong setting holds the girdle securely while leaving the pavilion open, so the moissanite stays bright instead of going dark against the metal. It works as a starter engagement ring, a promise ring, or an everyday right-hand piece. Available in ring sizes 4.5 through 8.5. Add it to your collection while sizes are in stock.
