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 Round Moissanite Halo Ring | Split Shank Silver

About This Product

Make a true statement with a 3ct DEW (9.5mm) round-brilliant moissanite framed by a cushion-shaped pavé halo, raised on a split-shank band of 925 sterling silver. The cushion halo squares off the silhouette so the centre reads larger than its 9.5mm footprint, while the round brilliant inside keeps maximum light return for non-stop sparkle. Moissanite earns the spotlight on its own physics: a 2.65 refractive index against a diamond's 2.42 throws noticeably more fire, and a 9.25 Mohs hardness shrugs off daily wear without scratching. This centre is graded DEF colorless with VVS clarity, held in four prongs above a split shank that runs two rows of pavé down each shoulder for wall-to-wall brilliance. Stylist's take: the split-shank halo is the most forgiving way to wear a big centre — the divided shoulders draw the eye inward and slim the finger, so the 3ct DEW stone looks intentional rather than oversized. Shown here in the pink centre option; also available with a colorless white, a warm yellow, or a cool blue centre to match the mood. The bright rhodium-plated finish over 925 sterling silver keeps the metal crisp white and the micro-pavé sharp. Wear it as a cocktail ring or as a non-traditional engagement piece — it carries from desk to dinner without a second thought, and the colored-centre options make it easy to own more than one.
