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 Solitaire Ring | Pavé Shoulders

About This Product

This 5ct DEW round-brilliant moissanite reads as a true centrepiece, raised high in a polished four-prong head so the full face of the stone catches light from every angle. At roughly 11mm across it fills the finger the way a large diamond would, but moissanite makes that scale genuinely wearable: a refractive index of 2.65 against a diamond's 2.42 returns more fire and rainbow flash, and a 9.25 Mohs hardness shrugs off daily knocks. The split shoulders are where this design earns its keep. Three graduated rows of pave run down each side of the band, a brighter central line of stones flanked by two finer rails, lifting the centre stone off the hand and carrying a continuous ribbon of sparkle into the shank without ever competing with the main gem. Stylist note: the wide, architectural shoulders give this ring real presence, so let it stand alone rather than stacking, and keep the rest of the hand quiet. The band is 925 sterling silver finished in a bright rhodium-tone white plating that mirrors the stone's icy clarity and resists tarnish, stamped S925 on the inner shank. The moissanite is graded DEF colourless with VVS clarity, so there are no visible inclusions and no warm tint, just clean white brilliance. It is a classic solitaire silhouette scaled up for impact, a fraction of the cost of an equivalent diamond and far more forgiving of an active life. Specs: 5ct DEW (11mm) round-brilliant moissanite, DEF colour, VVS clarity, RI 2.65, 9.25 Mohs; pave shoulders; 925 sterling silver, rhodium-tone plating; available sizes 5-9.
