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 Moissanite Solitaire Ring | Round 925 Silver

About This Product

A round-brilliant moissanite solitaire built on the cut that returns the most light to the eye. The center stone sits in a six-prong basket head, lifted off a slim 925 sterling silver band so the facets catch light from every angle rather than just face-up. At 1ct DEW (6.5mm), moissanite outsparkles a diamond of the same width: its refractive index of 2.65 beats a diamond's 2.42, throwing more white brilliance and noticeably more colored fire under direct light. The stone is graded DEF colorless and VVS clarity, so it reads bright and eye-clean against the polished white-gold-look finish — no yellow tint, no visible inclusions. At 9.25 on the Mohs scale it sits just under diamond at 10, shrugging off the daily knocks and surface scratches an everyday ring takes, which matters for a piece you never take off. Stylist's take: the six-prong head is the classic engagement silhouette, but the decorative openwork gallery under the basket is what sets this apart from a plain solitaire — it adds a hidden detail visible only from the side profile, so the ring stays clean from the top while rewarding a closer look. The tapered shank narrows toward the stone to make the 6.5mm center read larger, and stacks cleanly with a plain or pave wedding band. Choose White for the diamond-look colorless stone shown here, or Pink, Yellow, and Blue for a colored-gem version of the identical setting. Ring sizes run from 4.5 to 8.5. Specs: 1ct DEW (6.5mm) round-brilliant moissanite · DEF color · VVS clarity · RI 2.65 · 9.25 Mohs · 925 sterling silver, rhodium-finish · 6-prong basket setting.
