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.

5ct Round Moissanite Halo Engagement Ring

About This Product

Built for the front row, this 5 carat round moissanite engagement ring puts an 11mm DEW center stone inside a cushion-shaped halo, so the silhouette reads larger and squarer than the round it frames. A four-prong basket lifts the stone clear of the halo for light to enter from every angle, and the split-shank band fans into two micro-set rows of accent stones that taper toward the finger for a flattering, hand-lengthening line. It is engineered to deliver the presence of a five-figure ring at a fraction of the cost. The proof is in the optics. Moissanite carries a refractive index of 2.65 against a diamond's 2.42, so the round brilliant facets throw measurably more visible fire under store and event lighting. Cut to DEF colorless and VVS clarity, the center reads bright white with no warm tint, while a 9.25 Mohs hardness ranks just below sapphire and stands up to daily wear without abrading. The cushion halo and graduated pave are hand-set bead by bead in 925 sterling silver, finished with a rhodium-tone plating that keeps the metal bright and the seats shadow-free so every accent stone still catches light. Styling note: a halo this generous wears best on its own as a statement ring. Rather than stack a wedding band tight against it, pair it with a thin contoured or open-gap band so the cushion halo edge stays the hero of the set. Available in US sizes 4.5 through 8.5 to fit most hands. Specs: 5ct DEW round (11mm) center, cushion halo, split-shank pave, DEF colorless, VVS clarity, RI 2.65, 9.25 Mohs, 925 sterling silver, rhodium-tone plated.
