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 Round Moissanite Solitaire Ring, DEF VVS

About This Product

A 1 carat (DEW) round brilliant center sits in a four-prong head above a micro-pavé band, so the solitaire reads tall while accent stones throw light across both shoulders. The center measures 6.5mm, the standard footprint for a one-carat look, and the cut delivers the fire you can see in the photo: a refractive index of 2.65 against a diamond's 2.42 returns noticeably more colored sparkle in everyday light. The stone is graded DEF colorless and VVS clarity, so it stays bright white with no inclusions visible at arm's length. Moissanite ranks 9.25 on the Mohs scale, second only to diamond, which is what makes it a sound everyday engagement and anniversary choice rather than an occasion-only piece. The band and head are 925 sterling silver finished with a bright rhodium-style white plating that matches the stone's cool tone and resists tarnish. Styling note: the pavé shoulders taper toward a slim shank, so the eye travels up to the center stone instead of competing with it. That taper is what lets a 6.5mm center wear larger than its measurement, and it keeps the profile low enough to sit flush under a wedding band. Pair it with a plain or channel-set band for a stacked look, or wear it solo as a clean solitaire. Available in half sizes from 4.5 to 8.5 for a precise fit. Specs: 1ct DEW round brilliant (6.5mm) center, DEF color, VVS clarity, refractive index 2.65, 9.25 Mohs; micro-pavé accent stones; 925 sterling silver, white rhodium-style plating.
