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.

Asscher-Cut Moissanite East-West Solitaire Ring

About This Product

Architectural restraint is the whole point of this east-west solitaire: a single 4.5mm square step-cut moissanite is held sideways between two polished vertical bars, so the stone appears to float clear of the band. The step-cut faceting runs in clean concentric squares, giving that signature hall-of-mirrors flash rather than the scattered sparkle of a brilliant cut. Moissanite earns it on the specs: a 2.65 refractive index throws noticeably more fire than a 2.42 diamond, while DEF colorless grading and VVS clarity keep the open step facets looking icy and crisp. At 9.25 on the Mohs scale it shrugs off daily wear, which matters for a low-profile bar setting you will not want to baby. Stylist's take: turning a square stone on its side (east-west) reads modern and quietly editorial, and the bezel-free tension bars sit flush, so it stacks beautifully beside a thin pave band or wears alone as a minimalist signal. The 0.5ct DEW (4.5mm) scale is deliberate — substantial enough to catch light across a desk, slim enough to live on the hand every day. The 2mm rounded shank is cast in 925 sterling silver with a bright white finish that mirrors a fine-jewelry look without the precious-metal price. Because the silhouette is so pared back, there are no side stones or halo to dull over time; the geometry does all the work. Choose your ring size from 4.5 through 8.5 for a precise everyday fit. Specs: 0.5ct DEW (4.5mm) square step-cut moissanite | DEF colorless, VVS clarity | refractive index 2.65 | 9.25 Mohs | 925 sterling silver, white finish | east-west tension-bar solitaire | 2mm band, approx. 2.01g.
