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 Emerald Cut Moissanite Solitaire Ring | 925 Silver

About This Product

Step-cut clarity is the whole point of an emerald cut, and this 1ct (DEW) moissanite solitaire shows it off without distraction. The rectangular emerald-cut stone measures roughly 7x5mm and is held in a four-prong basket on a slim, fully polished 925 sterling silver band stamped S925 / 1.0ct, finished in bright rhodium plating for a true white-gold look. Look into the table and you can read the parallel step facets clearly down the centre of the stone, the open, hall-of-mirrors effect that diamond shoppers pay a premium for. As a graded DEF colourless, VVS clarity moissanite, there are no visible inclusions to interrupt those long lines, and a refractive index of 2.65 (versus 2.42 for diamond) gives the cropped corners and pavilion their flash under directional light. Styling note: emerald cuts elongate the finger, so this reads larger and more elegant than its carat weight suggests. The thin 1.6mm-style band keeps all the attention on the stone and stacks cleanly with a plain or pave wedding band. Because it is open step-cut rather than a brilliant, keep the table clean, oils dull the read-through faster than they would on a sparkly round. At 9.25 on the Mohs scale, moissanite resists everyday scratching and is built for daily wear as an engagement or anniversary ring. Available in US sizes 4.5 through 8.5.
