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 Pave Band

About This Product

A round-brilliant moissanite set in a six heart-prong basket, with graduated pave melee running down both tapered cathedral shoulders, this solitaire reads as a true engagement-ring silhouette at a fraction of a diamond ring price. The centre stone is a 0.5ct DEW (Diamond Equivalent Weight) moissanite measuring 5mm across, DEF colorless and VVS clarity, so it shows no visible body tint and no eye-visible inclusions face-up. Moissanite earns its fire honestly: a refractive index of 2.65 (against 2.42 for diamond) throws more coloured light return, and at 9.25 on the Mohs scale it is the second-hardest gem material you can wear daily without worrying about scuffs. The six prongs here are finished as small hearts, and a hidden accent row sits under the basket, lifting the stone so light enters from the sides. Styling take: a 5mm centre on a pave cathedral band photographs larger than its DEW because the shoulder stones carry the sparkle out toward the knuckle. It stacks cleanly against a plain or eternity band, and the white rhodium-plated finish keeps the whole ring cool-toned and bright. For an everyday solitaire that still reads as a proper engagement silhouette, this is the brief done right. Choose white for a classic colorless look, or pink, golden-yellow, or blue for a coloured-centre variation. The band is 925 sterling silver, rhodium-plated for a bright white, tarnish-resistant surface. Available in US sizes 4.5 to 8.5. Specs: 0.5ct DEW (5mm) round moissanite | DEF color | VVS clarity | RI 2.65 | 9.25 Mohs | six heart-prong setting with pave shoulders | rhodium-plated 925 sterling silver.
