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.

Men's Cushion Moissanite Statement Ring – 5ct DEW

About This Product

Built for the man who wants his ring noticed across the room, this statement piece centers a 5ct DEW cushion-cut moissanite measuring roughly 9x11mm, gripped by four polished prongs and framed in a squared pave halo. The cushion's softly rounded corners and broad crushed-ice faceting throw wide, restless flashes of light, while the halo of micro-set accents pushes the apparent stone size even larger. Below it the band is the real architecture: three stacked, channel-set rows of round accents run down each shoulder, separated by stepped, high-polish ridges that give the shank serious heft and a tailored, almost watch-bracelet structure. The proof is in the stone. Moissanite carries a refractive index of 2.65 against a diamond's 2.42, so it returns more fire at every turn of the hand, and at 9.25 on the Mohs scale it shrugs off the daily knocks a men's ring takes. The center is graded DEF colorless with VVS clarity, reading bright white with no visible inclusions. The setting is solid 925 sterling silver finished in bright rhodium plating for a cool, platinum-like white that resists tarnish, with an S925 stamp inside the shank. Expert take: a wide, multi-row band like this wears best on a larger hand and balances a big center stone far better than a thin shank would, so size up by a quarter if you wear rings snug. Pair it with a steel watch and keep the rest of the hand bare to let it lead. Specs: 5ct DEW (9x11mm) cushion moissanite, DEF/VVS, RI 2.65, 9.25 Mohs, pave halo and channel-set shoulders, rhodium-plated 925 sterling silver.
