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 Moissanite Cathedral Ring – 1ct DEW DEF

About This Product

Lift, light, and a center stone that looks bigger than its weight. This ring sets a 6.5mm round-brilliant moissanite a true 1ct DEW in a tall cathedral mount, so the stone rides above the finger and pulls light from the sides as well as the crown. That elevation is the whole point: a raised moissanite with a refractive index of 2.65 (a diamond sits at 2.42) throws noticeably more fire, and lifting it off the band keeps the table open and bright instead of shadowed. The four squared box-prongs are themselves pave-set, and the micro-set shoulders run a tidy line of accent stones into an openwork architectural gallery, so the eye reads structure and sparkle from every angle without crowding the solitaire. Styling take: this is a cathedral solitaire that already carries its own detail, so it wants a plain or whisper-thin band beside it rather than another stone-heavy ring fighting for the same light. The center moissanite is DEF colorless and VVS clarity, the same icy white you expect from a fine diamond, and at 9.25 on the Mohs scale it shrugs off the daily knocks an engagement or anniversary ring actually takes. Cast in 925 sterling silver with a white-gold finish, hallmarked S925, it weighs about 4.1g for real presence without heft. Available in white, yellow, blue, and pink center stones and a full run of sizes. Specs: 1ct DEW (6.5mm) round moissanite; DEF color; VVS clarity; RI 2.65; 9.25 Mohs; 925 sterling silver, white-gold plated; 2.6mm band.
