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.

2ct Asscher Cut Moissanite Engagement Ring

About This Product

Step-cut drama with a vintage halo: this engagement ring centers a 2ct DEW (8mm) Asscher cut moissanite, its concentric square facets drawing the eye into a hall-of-mirrors X at the table. A pave halo of round-cut accents wraps the center in a cushion-shaped frame, and two tapered baguettes flank each shoulder to lengthen the finger and build a true three-stone silhouette. The center stone reads DEF colorless with VVS clarity, and at a refractive index of 2.65 (versus a diamond's 2.42) it returns more fire than the stone it is modeled on. Ranked 9.25 on the Mohs scale, second only to diamond, it shrugs off daily wear without abrading. The setting is 925 sterling silver finished in white-gold plating, with a milgrain-edged halo and a slim tapered shank that tucks close to the hand. Available in sizes 5 through 10. Expert take: the Asscher cut is unforgiving of low clarity because its open step facets show everything inside the stone, which is exactly why it pairs so well with moissanite's eye-clean VVS grade and high refractive index, you get the crisp Art Deco geometry without inclusions breaking it up. The cushion halo softens the square corners, so this ring photographs as both period-vintage and thoroughly modern. Style it with a plain knife-edge wedding band to let the halo lead, or stack a thin pave eternity band beside it for a fully iced look. Center: 2ct DEW (8mm) Asscher cut moissanite, DEF / VVS, refractive index 2.65, 9.25 Mohs. Setting: cushion pave halo with tapered baguettes, white gold-plated 925 sterling silver. Sizes 5-10.
