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.

5ct Pear-Cut Moissanite Solitaire Pave Engagement Ring

About This Product

A pear-cut Moissanite anchors this solitaire, its elongated teardrop silhouette held high in a four-prong claw setting that lifts the stone clear of the band for uninterrupted light return. At roughly 5ct DEW (about 13x8mm), the stone reads big and bright while the tapered point flatters and lengthens the finger. Moissanite's 2.65 refractive index outpaces diamond's 2.42, so each facet throws noticeably more rainbow fire as your hand moves, and the DEF colorless grade keeps the face crisp and icy-white with no yellow cast. Look closely and you'll see the band isn't plain: a row of micro-pavé accents runs along each shoulder, the tiny stones bead-set in a continuous line that draws the eye up toward the crown. Stylist's note — a pear set point-down with pavé shoulders like this is the most flattering choice for shorter fingers; keep the tip oriented toward the nail and a coordinating plain or thin pavé wedding band will nest cleanly beneath the slightly raised head. The mount is 925 sterling silver finished in bright white rhodium-style plating for a platinum-look shine that resists tarnish with normal wear. VVS clarity means the table is eye-clean under inspection, and at 9.25 on the Mohs scale the Moissanite shrugs off the daily knocks that scuff softer simulants. Every prong tip and pavé seat is hand-finished and polished so the setting holds the center stone securely while letting light enter from the sides. A genuine forever stone for an engagement, anniversary, or a self-purchase that deserves real sparkle. Specs: ~5ct DEW (~13x8mm) pear-cut Moissanite center; DEF color, VVS clarity; pavé-set shoulders; 925 sterling silver, white rhodium-style plating; refractive index 2.65; 9.25 Mohs.
