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.

Moissanite Solitaire Ring | 0.5ct DEW Round 925 Silver

About This Product

A round-brilliant moissanite solitaire that reads as a true engagement ring: one 0.5ct DEW (5mm) stone raised in a four-prong head above a slim, tapering cathedral band. The split-claw prongs curl to a soft heart-shaped tip, lifting the stone so light enters from every angle. The moissanite is cut to a 57-facet round brilliant in DEF colorless, VVS clarity. Its 2.65 refractive index runs higher than diamond's 2.42, so the returned light is brighter and the fire (the colored flashes) more pronounced — exactly what you see scattered across the table in this photo. At 9.25 on the Mohs scale it sits just below diamond, well above sapphire, and shrugs off daily wear. The setting is genuine 925 sterling silver finished in a bright rhodium-look white plating, matched to the stone so nothing competes with it. The band tapers from roughly 2mm at the head down to a fine profile at the base, which makes the 5mm center read larger on the hand and keeps the ring light to wear. Styling note: a single round solitaire is the most stackable shape there is — pair it with a thin pavé or plain band and the tapered shoulders sit flush against a wedding ring with no gap. Worn alone it stays clean enough for everyday. The center is also offered in white, pink, golden-yellow and blue if you want a colored stone instead of classic colorless.
