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.

Classic Moissanite Solitaire Ring | 0.50ct Round

About This Product

A timeless round-brilliant solitaire that puts the stone front and centre. The 6-prong basket lifts a 5mm (0.50ct DEW) round moissanite off a slim, tapered band, so light enters from every facet and the gem reads larger than its carat weight on the finger. Because moissanite carat does not equal diamond carat, we list size by diamond equivalent weight plus the true face-up measurement so you know exactly what you are getting. The stone is graded D-E-F colorless with VVS clarity, and its 2.65 refractive index (versus 2.42 for diamond) is what produces the higher fire and brightness you can see flashing through the crown. At 9.25 on the Mohs scale it shrugs off everyday knocks and keeps its polish for years, and the six slender claws shown here hold the girdle securely while leaving the pavilion open for maximum return of light. The band is 925 sterling silver finished in bright rhodium-look white for a cool, platinum-style tone that won't compete with the stone. Styling note: the knife-edge taper and low-profile head make this an easy daily wearer and a natural base for stacking — pair it with a plain or pave band and the solitaire still leads. The petite 5mm head also flatters smaller fingers and slimmer hands where a chunkier setting would overwhelm. Choose the classic white stone for a diamond-look solitaire, or the pink, yellow, or blue options for a coloured-gem twist on the same six-prong silhouette. Specs: round-brilliant moissanite, 0.50ct DEW (5mm), D-E-F color, VVS clarity, RI 2.65, 9.25 Mohs; 6-prong setting; 925 sterling silver, rhodium-finish white.
