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 Solitaire Moissanite Ring | Round Brilliant

About This Product

A single round-brilliant moissanite held high in a six-prong basket - this is the solitaire that reads as a true diamond engagement ring from across the room, without the diamond price. The stone is cut to return maximum light, and moissanite's 2.65 refractive index (versus 2.42 for diamond) gives it more fire and a brighter, more rainbow flash in everyday light. Proof is in the specs. The center stone is DEF colorless and VVS clarity, the grades that look icy-white and eye-clean rather than warm or included. At 9.25 on the Mohs scale it sits just below diamond, so it shrugs off daily wear and won't scratch or cloud the way cubic zirconia does. The six even prongs lift the stone clear of the finger, throwing light around the full pavilion, while the slim, slightly tapered band keeps the focus entirely on the gem. Stylist's take: a tall six-prong solitaire is the most versatile setting we sell - it stacks cleanly with a plain or pave wedding band and photographs beautifully because the raised stone catches light from every angle. The 1ct DEW (6.5mm) reads as a confident classic; size up to 2ct (8mm) for more presence or down to 0.5ct (5mm) for an everyday minimalist look. Set in 925 sterling silver finished with white gold plating for a bright, platinum-like white. Choose your DEW center size and ring size, with an adjustable option available.
