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 Moissanite Solitaire Ring | Pavé Crossover Band

About This Product

A round-cut moissanite solitaire built for everyday brilliance: a single 6.5mm (1ct DEW) round stone sits in a four-prong head, lifted just high enough to catch light from every angle while the pavé-set crossover shank carries the sparkle down each shoulder. The center stone is graded DEF colorless with VVS clarity, and moissanite's 2.65 refractive index (versus 2.42 for diamond) is what gives it the extra fire you can see flashing through the table in the photo. At 9.25 on the Mohs scale it resists daily scratching, so this reads as an engagement-style ring you can actually wear to work without babying it. The band is rhodium-plated 925 sterling silver, finished bright white, and the shank splits and crosses over near the base — a soft twist detail that lengthens the finger and seats the head a touch higher than a plain band would. Roughly two dozen accent stones run the pavé line on each shoulder. Styling note: the four-prong head shows more of the stone's girdle than a six-prong, so it wears larger than its 6.5mm footprint suggests. The pavé crossover means it stacks cleanly against a thin plain band on either side without the accent stones clashing. We'd pair it with a matching-metal rhodium finish to keep the line of light unbroken from shank to center, and keep a wedding band low-profile so the crossover stays the focal point.
