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.

2ct Round Moissanite Halo Engagement Ring | Cushion Halo

About This Product

Built around a brilliant round 2ct DEW (8mm) moissanite, this halo ring frames the center stone in a cushion-shaped halo of pave-set accents and carries the sparkle down a split-shank shoulder, so the design reads larger and brighter than the carat weight alone. Moissanite earns that sparkle on the specs: a refractive index of 2.65 versus 2.42 for diamond returns more light, and a fire dispersion of 0.104 throws noticeably more colored flash. The center stone is graded DEF colorless with VVS clarity, and at 9.25 on the Mohs scale it sits just below diamond for everyday durability. The four-prong head holds the round stone secure while the cushion halo and graduated pave shoulders pull extra light around it. The mount is 925 sterling silver finished in a bright white rhodium plating that mirrors platinum without the price. The split-shank tapers to a comfortable plain band at the base, so the pave detail stays on the top of the finger where it shows. This listing is the pink center-stone option; white, golden yellow, and blue stones are also available. Stylist note: a round-in-cushion-halo is the most flattering proportion for slim-to-medium fingers -- the halo widens the face of the ring without adding bulk, and the split-shank keeps the band light. Pair it with a thin plain or pave wedding band so the halo stays the focal point, and keep the split-shank facing up to show the most stones. Specs: 2ct DEW (8mm) round moissanite, DEF / VVS, RI 2.65, 9.25 Mohs, cushion halo, split-shank, 925 sterling silver, rhodium-plated. Sizes 4.5-8.5.
