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.

1ct Moissanite Halo Engagement Ring | 925 Silver

About This Product

This 1 carat moissanite engagement ring frames a brilliant round-cut centre stone (1.0ct DEW, 6.5mm) inside a full halo of accent stones, with pavé-set sparkle running down both shoulders of the band — a design that reads larger and catches more light than a plain solitaire of the same centre size. The halo adds roughly a size-grade of visual diameter without raising the centre carat weight. The centre moissanite is graded DEF colourless with VVS clarity, so it shows no visible tint and no eye-visible inclusions. Its refractive index of 2.65 outperforms a diamond's 2.42, which is why the round brilliant cut throws the rainbow fire you can see across the table and crown in the photo. At 9.25 on the Mohs scale it resists the daily scratches and abrasion that dull softer stones over time, making it a practical choice for an everyday engagement ring you never have to take off. The centre sits in a secure four-prong basket; the surrounding halo and the pavé shoulders are micro-set, and the band is finished in bright rhodium-plated 925 sterling silver for a crisp white-metal look that mimics platinum. Stylist's note: a halo plus a pavé band is the highest-impact way to maximise perceived size on a modest budget — choose this over a bare solitaire if face-up presence matters more to you than a minimalist profile. It pairs cleanly with a plain or pavé wedding band stacked beneath the halo, and the white setting keeps the focus on the centre stone's fire rather than the metal.
