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 Solitaire 8ct DEW (12×8mm)

About This Product

An emerald-cut solitaire built to do one thing: let the stone speak. The center is 8ct DEW of moissanite, a long rectangular step cut measuring 12x8mm, held in a clean four-prong head on a slim polished band. Where a brilliant cut scatters light into sparkle, the emerald cut runs it in broad parallel flashes down those open step facets — a hall-of-mirrors effect that slides across the table as your hand moves. It reads as architectural and composed rather than busy, the choice for someone who wants scale without noise. At 12x8mm the stone spans the finger nearly knuckle to knuckle, so the bare band is a deliberate decision: no side stones, no halo, nothing competing for the eye. The white-gold plating over sterling silver keeps the metal cool and bright so it disappears behind the stone. A styling note — emerald cuts are unforgiving of haze, which is exactly why moissanite suits the cut: at VVS clarity and DEF colorless grade there is nothing for the open facets to expose, and the 2.65 refractive index (versus 2.42 for diamond) gives those step flashes extra return. Wear it east-west as set here for a modern line, or size up the band feel with a thicker stack alongside. Mohs 9.25 hardness means the corners and edges hold up to daily wear far better than softer simulants. This is a confident, low-fuss statement ring that earns its presence honestly. Spec: 8ct DEW (12x8mm) emerald-cut moissanite | DEF colorless | VVS clarity | RI 2.65 | Mohs 9.25 | four-prong solitaire | 925 sterling silver, 18K white gold plated.
