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.

1 Carat Crown Moissanite Ring | Pave Solitaire

About This Product

Sitting high in a cathedral-style crown head, a single 1ct DEW round brilliant moissanite (about 6.5mm) is lifted clear of the finger so light reaches it from every angle. Twin rows of pave-set accent stones run down each tapered shoulder, framing the center stone and adding a continuous line of sparkle that draws the eye toward the peak. Moissanite carries a refractive index of 2.65 against a diamond's 2.42, so the fire and brilliance read brighter under everyday lighting, while a 9.25 Mohs hardness keeps facet edges crisp through daily wear. The stone is graded DEF colorless (Stone Color White) at VVS clarity, giving the icy-white look most buyers want from a solitaire. Spec block - Stone: Moissanite; Cut: Round Brilliant; Size: 1ct DEW (about 6.5mm); Color: DEF; Clarity: VVS; Metal: 925 Sterling Silver, white-gold plated; Setting: Crown prong with pave shoulders. Choose the classic White center or swap to Blue, Pink, or Yellow for a colored-stone twist, and select your fit from a full US ring-size run between 4.5 and 8.5. Because moissanite is grown rather than mined, you get the size and sparkle of a 1ct stone for a fraction of a mined-diamond budget, which makes the crown profile feel even more generous on the hand. Styling note: the elevated crown profile clears most wedding bands, so it stacks cleanly for an engagement-plus-band pairing, and the pave shoulders mean you can keep the rest of the hand simple. As a jeweler's tip, the raised head reads larger than its 6.5mm because light passes under the stone. Care is easy - warm water, a drop of mild soap, and a soft brush behind the gallery restore full brilliance; avoid ultrasonic cleaners on the plated finish to preserve the bright white-gold tone over time.
