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.

1ct Round Moissanite Engagement Ring, Pavé Silver

About This Product

This 1 carat round moissanite engagement ring frames a 6.5mm DEW center stone in a four-prong head, with pavé-set accents marching down both shoulders so light catches the band from every angle. The result reads brilliant from across a room yet sits low enough for everyday wear, slipping under a glove or a sleeve without snagging. Moissanite outperforms diamond where it counts for sparkle: a refractive index of 2.65 against diamond's 2.42 throws more fire, and at 9.25 on the Mohs scale it shrugs off the scratches that dull lesser stones over years of daily wear. The center is graded DEF colorless and VVS clarity, so it faces up bright-white next to the channel-set accent stones rather than tinting warm under indoor light. Rhodium plating over 925 sterling silver keeps the whole piece reflective and tarnish-resistant, and the recessed gallery lets you clean behind the stone with a soft brush. Stylist take: the round brilliant is the most forgiving cut for hand shapes, and the pavé shoulders here do real work — they visually widen a slim band and make the 6.5mm head look larger without adding bulk or raising the price of a bigger center. Choose the colorless White stone for a classic engagement look, or the Pink, Yellow, or Blue stones if you want a center that doubles as a signature or a non-traditional proposal. Available in half-sizes from US 4.5 to 8.5 for a true fit straight out of the box. Specs: 1ct DEW (6.5mm) round moissanite center, DEF color, VVS clarity, RI 2.65, 9.25 Mohs; pavé accent stones; rhodium-plated 925 sterling silver; four-prong setting; US sizes 4.5–8.5.
