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.

Emerald-Cut Moissanite East-West Solitaire Ring

About This Product

This east-west solitaire turns a single emerald-cut moissanite on its side, laying the stone horizontally across the finger so its long step-cut facets stretch wall to wall for a modern, architectural look. The 5x3mm stone is held in a clean half-bar setting that grips only the short ends, leaving the elongated table fully open to catch light. Emerald cuts trade sparkle for clarity-style flashes, and moissanite earns them: a 2.65 refractive index outpaces a diamond's 2.42, so the broad step facets throw crisp white returns even at this petite size. D-E-F colorless grading keeps the stone icy with no yellow cast, while VVS clarity means the open emerald table stays clean to the eye. At roughly 0.35ct DEW (5x3mm), the solitaire reads refined rather than flashy, ideal as a daily-wear ring, a stacking companion, or a quiet alternative engagement piece. The slim 2mm band is cut in 925 sterling silver with a bright rhodium-finished white tone and a high polish that tapers smoothly into the setting. Styling note: the horizontal orientation visually widens a slender finger and sits flush under gloves and cuffs, so it layers cleanly with thin pave or plain stacking bands without snagging. Because nothing rises high off the band, it is one of the most low-profile solitaires to wear through a workday. A 9.25 Mohs hardness rating keeps the moissanite scratch-resistant for everyday handwashing and typing. Specs: 5x3mm (~0.35ct DEW) emerald-cut moissanite, D-E-F color, VVS clarity, refractive index 2.65, 9.25 Mohs; 925 sterling silver with rhodium white finish; 2mm band; east-west half-bar setting.
