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.

Round Solitaire Moissanite Ring 0.5ct DEW | 925 Silver

About This Product

Choose the engagement-ring silhouette that never dates: a single round-brilliant moissanite raised in a four-prong head above a plain, tapered band. The hero stone is a 0.5ct DEW (5mm) moissanite cut to 57 facets, returning the white flashes and rainbow fire you can see in the photo against the high-polish white finish. Proof is in the optics. Moissanite carries a refractive index of 2.65 versus a diamond's 2.42, so it throws noticeably more fire — the colored sparkle visible across the table here. Graded DEF colorless and VVS clarity, the stone reads bright white with no body tint. At 9.25 on the Mohs scale it sits just below diamond, well above sapphire, so it shrugs off the daily knocks a solitaire takes. The setting is the detail that earns its keep. Four slim claws sit at the corners rather than the cardinal points, opening the girdle so more light enters the pavilion, while the knife-edge gallery and tapering shoulders keep metal mass low and push the stone forward. The band is rhodium-plated 925 sterling silver — the same bright-white tone as platinum — for a clean, snag-free profile that stacks or wears solo. Stylist note: the narrow tapered shank makes the center stone read larger than its 5mm, so this is the piece to size down a hair if you want maximum presence. Available with a white, pink, yellow, or blue center stone. Specs: 0.5ct DEW (5mm) round moissanite | DEF color, VVS clarity | RI 2.65, 9.25 Mohs | four-prong solitaire | rhodium-plated 925 sterling silver.
