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.

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.

2.5ct Asscher-Cut Moissanite Solitaire Ring

About This Product

Architectural and clean, this solitaire frames a single Asscher-cut moissanite in four slender claw prongs so light pours straight down the step-cut facets. The square step cut, with its cropped corners and concentric "hall of mirrors" parallel facets, trades the sparkle scatter of a brilliant for long, mirror-like flashes that telegraph clarity. That openness is exactly why an Asscher rewards a high-grade stone: every flaw would show, so we cut ours to DEF colorless with VVS clarity, leaving the table ice-white and transparent from any angle. Moissanite carries a 2.65 refractive index against a diamond's 2.42, so even in this restrained step cut you get measurably more return of light, and at 9.25 on the Mohs scale it shrugs off daily wear. The center is a 2.5ct DEW stone, roughly 8.5mm square, set on a polished knife-edge shank that tapers from a cathedral under-gallery to keep the silhouette low and finger-flattering. The 925 sterling silver band wears a bright rhodium-style white finish in this photo; a yellow-gold plating is also offered. Styling note: an Asscher reads vintage and Art Deco, so it sits beautifully stacked with a thin milgrain or bead-set band, but left solo it is the cleanest possible nod to 1920s glamour. Because the step cut emphasizes clarity over fire, this is the cut to choose if you want a calm, sophisticated stone rather than a busy one. A genuine everyday-to-altar piece that photographs sharp and crisp. Specs: 2.5ct DEW (~8.5mm) Asscher-cut moissanite, DEF colorless, VVS clarity, refractive index 2.65, 9.25 Mohs; 925 sterling silver, four-prong cathedral solitaire, white or yellow gold plating.
