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.

Snowflake Moissanite Ring | 1ct Solitaire White Gold

About This Product

Six split prongs fan out around the center stone like the arms of a snowflake, and that detail is the whole point of this solitaire: the head does the decorating while the band stays clean. The round brilliant moissanite sits at 1ct DEW (about 6.5mm), and because moissanite carries a 2.65 refractive index versus a diamond's 2.42, the stone reads brighter and throws more colored fire than a diamond of matching size. Graded DEF colorless and VVS, it holds an icy white face-up, and at 9.25 Mohs it is hard enough to live on your hand without babying. Spec block: - Stone: Moissanite, lab-grown - Cut: Round brilliant - Size: 1ct DEW (~6.5mm) - Color: DEF colorless (White) - Clarity: VVS - Metal: 925 sterling silver, 18K white gold plated - Setting: Six split-prong snowflake head, plain tapered band The 18K white gold plating over sterling silver keeps the metal bright and slows the tarnish that bare silver eventually shows. Because the band is smooth and tapered with no shoulder stones, the snowflake head is the focal point and the ring sits flush against a wedding band with nothing to catch. The white setting is the obvious everyday choice; pink, golden yellow, and blue let you tune it to a mood or a season. Care tip: rinse under warm water and lift away lotion with a soft brush behind the prongs, since the open snowflake head can trap residue that quietly mutes the sparkle.
