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 Moissanite Square Halo Ring | 0.5ct 925 Silver

About This Product

A 0.5ct DEW round brilliant moissanite sits centred in a square halo of pave accents, framing the stone so it reads larger on the hand while keeping the band slim. The 5mm centre is held in a four-prong basket; the geometric halo and pave shoulders carry the sparkle down each side of the ring. Moissanite earns the brilliance: a refractive index of 2.65 (diamond is 2.42) returns more fire from the round brilliant facet pattern, and at 9.25 on the Mohs scale it resists scratching through daily wear. The centre is graded DEF colourless with VVS clarity, so it faces up icy-white against the rhodium-plated 925 sterling silver, which keeps the metal bright and tarnish-resistant. Styling note: a square halo around a round stone is the cushion-halo look without committing to a cushion-cut centre - it squares off the silhouette for a vintage-leaning profile while the round brilliant keeps maximum light return. The micro-pave band stacks cleanly with a plain wedding band; choose a half-size up if you wear it daily, as the pave shoulders sit close to the finger. Offered with a white centre and in pink, yellow and blue stone options across US sizes 4.5 to 8.5. This is a halo design rather than a bare solitaire - the surrounding accents are part of the look, not a substitute for the centre stone. Specs: 0.5ct DEW (5mm) round brilliant moissanite, DEF colour, VVS clarity, refractive index 2.65, 9.25 Mohs; square halo with micro-pave band; rhodium-plated 925 sterling silver; US sizes 4.5-8.5; stone colours white, pink, yellow, blue.
