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.

Simple Moissanite Solitaire Ring | 0.5ct DEW Silver

About This Product

A clean solitaire you can wear from desk to dinner without a second thought. This ring centers a single 0.5ct DEW (5mm) round-cut moissanite held east-west in a half-bezel setting, two smooth vertical bars cradling the stone instead of claw prongs that snag on sleeves and hair. Moissanite earns its place here on the numbers, not adjectives. At a refractive index of 2.65 it bends and returns more light than a diamond's 2.42, so the 5mm stone throws noticeably more fire under everyday light. The grade is DEF colorless and VVS clarity, eye-clean and white with no warm tint. A 9.25 Mohs hardness sits just below diamond and well above the daily-wear threshold, so the table stays crisp through years of hand-washing, typing, and gym bags. The band is 925 sterling silver finished in bright white rhodium-look plating, polished to a mirror with a softly squared, tapered shoulder that reads geometric rather than ornate. The low-profile half-bezel keeps the stone close to the finger, a practical choice for anyone who works with their hands or wants a stacker that lies flat under a wedding band. The setting also protects the girdle of the stone better than open prongs, so chips and loose stones are far less likely over time. Stylist note: the half-bezel mount and squared shoulder give this an architectural, modern line, so it stacks cleanly with plain or beaded bands without prongs catching on the ring beside it. Sized 4.5 to 8.5 for a true fit. Specs: 0.5ct DEW (5mm) round moissanite | DEF color | VVS clarity | RI 2.65 | 9.25 Mohs | 925 sterling silver, white plating | half-bezel solitaire setting.
