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.

3 Carat Six-Prong Moissanite Solitaire Ring | 9.5mm

About This Product

A 3 carat DEW round moissanite set high in a classic six-prong solitaire head, so light enters the stone from every angle and returns the fire moissanite is known for. The brilliant-cut center measures 9.5mm across the table — large enough to read as a true statement solitaire on the hand, while six evenly spaced claws lock the girdle for everyday security without crowding the crown. The stone is graded DEF colorless with VVS clarity, so it faces up bright and white with no visible inclusions. Moissanite carries a 2.65 refractive index versus a diamond at 2.42, which is why this center throws more rainbow flashes under direct light, and at 9.25 on the Mohs scale it resists the scratches and chips of daily wear. The cathedral band is solid 925 sterling silver finished in bright rhodium plating to resist tarnish and keep the metal a cool, clean white against the stone. Expert take: a six-prong head suits a center this size better than four — the extra claws distribute pressure evenly and visually frame a round cut as a fuller, more open circle. The plain knife-edge shank rising into the round setting keeps every reflection on the stone, which makes this an easy ring to pair with a thin pavé wedding band down the line. Choose the romantic pink center shown here, or order it with a white, golden-yellow, or blue moissanite to match the wearer. Specs: 3ct DEW round moissanite (9.5mm) | DEF color | VVS clarity | RI 2.65 | 9.25 Mohs | six-prong solitaire | 925 sterling silver, rhodium-plated.
