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.

Square Halo Moissanite Ring | 1CT Round DEF | 925 Silver

About This Product

A round brilliant moissanite framed by a cushion-shaped halo gives this ring the wider face of a larger center stone while keeping a 1ct (6.5mm) DEW budget. The four-prong head lifts the stone above a pave halo, and matching pave runs down both shoulders so the setting reads as continuous sparkle from any angle. Proof is in the optics: moissanite carries a 2.65 refractive index against a diamond's 2.42, so the round-cut center returns more light and visibly more fire than a comparable diamond. The DEF colorless grade keeps the face icy-white with no warm tint, and VVS clarity means no inclusions are visible to the eye. At 9.25 on the Mohs scale it sits just under diamond, hard enough for daily wear without edge abrasion on the cushion halo's accent stones. Styling note: the cushion halo squares off a round stone, so it bridges a vintage silhouette with a modern face-up shape. It stacks cleanly against a plain band and photographs larger than its DEW suggests, which is why this halo-on-round layout is a go-to for an engagement look on a moderate budget. Choose the colorless white for a classic diamond substitute, or the pink, yellow, and blue fancy options for a non-traditional center. The band is 925 sterling silver with a rhodium-style white finish; available in US sizes 4.5 through 8.5.
