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.

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 | Cushion Halo Gallery

About This Product

A 1ct DEW round brilliant moissanite (about 6.5mm) sits inside a squared cushion-shaped gallery that frames the stone and visually stretches its footprint on the finger. Four claw prongs hold the gem secure while the open underside of the cushion frame lets light flood the pavilion, lifting the brilliance you see face-up. Moissanite's refractive index of 2.65 runs ahead of a diamond's 2.42, so the ring returns more fire under everyday light, and a 9.25 Mohs hardness keeps the facet junctions sharp through regular wear. The center stone is DEF colorless (Stone Color White) at VVS clarity for a crisp, icy-white appearance. Spec block - Stone: Moissanite; Cut: Round Brilliant; Size: 1ct DEW (about 6.5mm); Color: DEF; Clarity: VVS; Metal: 925 Sterling Silver; Setting: Four-prong with cushion-shaped gallery frame. The white center is the classic choice, with Blue, Pink, and Yellow available for a bolder, colored-stone statement, and US sizes run from 4.5 to 8.5. Because the moissanite is lab-grown, the squared frame lets you wear cushion-cut presence at a fraction of a mined-stone budget, so the statement scale comes without the statement price. Styling note: the squared frame gives a round stone the presence of a larger cushion cut, so this reads as a statement piece on its own and pairs well with a plain band rather than competing pave. A jeweler's tip - the open gallery beneath the frame is intentional, letting light reach the pavilion so the face-up stone looks brighter than a closed-back setting of the same size. Care is straightforward - warm water, mild soap, and a soft brush around the gallery clear away dust and lotion, then pat dry; avoid abrasive cleaners on the silver and store separately so the polished frame stays bright and the moissanite keeps its full sparkle.
