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.

Star-Set Round Moissanite Dome Ring in 18K Yellow Gold

About This Product

A sculptural dome that wears like a modern heirloom. The band rises in a smoothly rounded gold curve and, at its crown, a single round-brilliant moissanite is gypsy-set flush into the metal beneath an engraved eight-point star that radiates outward like a compass rose. Because the stone sits level with the surface rather than raised on prongs, it catches light without snagging on sweaters or gloves, making this an everyday piece you genuinely never have to take off. With a refractive index of 2.65 against a diamond's 2.42, the moissanite throws noticeably more fire, so even this petite roughly 0.1ct (about 3mm) accent flashes rainbow color against the warm 18K yellow-gold plating. The stone is DEF colorless and VVS clarity, while a 9.25 Mohs hardness keeps facet edges crisp through years of daily wear. The band is solid 925 sterling silver beneath the gold, giving the dome real weight and a substantial, cushioned feel on the finger. Expert take: a domed band with a star-set center is one of the most versatile silhouettes in fine jewelry — bold enough to stand alone as a right-hand statement, slim enough to stack beside a thin pave or wedding band without competing. The polished curve reads sleek and contemporary, while the celestial star motif adds a quiet, talismanic detail that rewards a closer look. Choose a half size up if you wear it on a knuckle-heavy finger, as the wide dome seats snugly. Specs: round moissanite, ~0.1ct (3mm), DEF / VVS, refractive index 2.65, 9.25 Mohs; 925 sterling silver with 18K yellow-gold plating; sizes 5-9.
