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.

5 Carat Moissanite Halo Engagement Ring | Round Cut

About This Product

This 5 Carat Moissanite Halo Engagement Ring centers a round brilliant moissanite held in a four-prong basket, framed by a full pavé halo and carried on a split-shank band lined with two rows of micro-pavé accents. The center stone is a 5.0ct DEW moissanite measuring roughly 11mm across, large enough to read as a true statement stone across a room. Moissanite earns that presence through physics, not marketing: a refractive index of 2.65 (versus 2.42 for diamond) returns more light, so the round cut throws the fiery flashes you can see scattered across the table in the photo. Graded DEF colorless with VVS clarity, the stone shows no visible tint against the bright white metal, and at 9.25 on the Mohs scale it resists the daily scratches that dull softer simulants. Expert take: a halo plus split shank does two jobs at once. The pavé halo optically enlarges an already big center stone, while the split band draws the eye inward and slims the finger line, so the ring looks substantial without feeling top-heavy. It is the most flattering way to wear a 5-carat look on an everyday hand. The 925 sterling silver setting is finished in a bright rhodium-toned white to match the colorless stone and keep the pavé crisp. Available in ring sizes 4.5 through 8.5. Style it solo as a showpiece or pair with a thin shared-prong band for an anniversary stack. Specs: 5.0ct DEW (approx. 11mm) round brilliant moissanite, DEF color, VVS clarity, RI 2.65, 9.25 Mohs, pavé halo with split-shank micro-pavé, 925 sterling silver.
