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.

0.5ct Moissanite Solitaire Ring | 925 Silver 6-Prong

About This Product

A 0.5ct DEW (5mm) round brilliant moissanite, held aloft in a six-prong head, sits at the centre of this 925 sterling silver solitaire — the clean, single-stone silhouette that reads as an engagement ring without the diamond price. The stone is graded DEF colourless with VVS clarity, so it stays icy-white face-up with no warm or grey cast. Moissanite's refractive index of 2.65 outpaces a diamond's 2.42, which is why the 57-facet round cut throws the broad rainbow flashes you can see breaking across the table in the photo. At 9.25 on the Mohs scale it shrugs off daily knocks, scratches and dishwater — built for an everyday wear ring. Look closely at the head: six slender claws with split, curled tips cradle the girdle high off the finger, lifting the stone for maximum light return while the slim, gently tapered band tucks in under the basket for an airy under-gallery. The shank is rhodium-plated 925 sterling silver, so the white metal stays bright and tarnish-resistant against the colourless gem. Stylist's take: a high-set 5mm solitaire on a thin 1.8mm-ish band wears far larger than its carat weight and stacks cleanly beside a plain or pavé wedding band — keep the band gap tight so the basket doesn't tilt. Order half a size up if you stack two or more bands. Also offered with a pink, yellow or blue centre stone for a coloured-gem twist on the classic.
