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.

Round Cut Moissanite Halo Ring | 0.5ct DEW Silver

About This Product

A round brilliant moissanite centred in a full halo, set on a pavé-lined band — the classic engagement-ring silhouette that reads far larger than its centre stone. The 0.5ct DEW (5mm) round-cut moissanite is held in four claw prongs and ringed by a tight circle of accent stones, with a second row of pavé running down both shoulders of the band. Together they widen the face and multiply the light return, so the ring carries real presence without a heavy carat weight. Moissanite earns that sparkle on the spec sheet: a refractive index of 2.65 against a diamond's 2.42 throws more fire from every facet, while DEF colourless grading and VVS clarity keep the centre and the halo bright and eye-clean. At 9.25 on the Mohs scale it shrugs off daily wear. The setting is genuine 925 sterling silver finished in bright white rhodium, which matches the icy tone of the stones and resists tarnish. Styling note: a halo is the quiet trick for maximising perceived size — the circle of accents blurs the line where the centre stone ends, so a 5mm round looks closer to a full carat on the hand. Worn alone it works as a delicate engagement or promise ring; stacked with a plain band it sits flush thanks to the low halo profile. Choose the colourless white stone for a traditional look, or pink, yellow, or blue for a coloured centre. Specs: 0.5ct DEW (5mm) round-cut moissanite, DEF colour, VVS clarity, RI 2.65, 9.25 Mohs; halo + pavé band in rhodium-plated 925 sterling silver.
