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 Solitaire Ring | 0.5ct Pavé Silver

About This Product

Bright as the night sky it's named for, this Starlight solitaire centers a round-brilliant moissanite cradled in a tidy four-prong head, then carries the sparkle outward along double-row pavé shoulders that taper to a slim comfort band. Moissanite is the star of the setting for a measurable reason: its refractive index of 2.65 outpaces diamond's 2.42, so the round cut throws noticeably more fire and white return under everyday light. The center stone is a 0.5ct DEW round (about 5mm), graded DEF colorless and VVS clarity, while channels of micro-pavé accent stones line each shoulder for a continuous ribbon of brilliance. At 9.25 on the Mohs scale, moissanite shrugs off the scratches and abrasions that dull softer simulants, making this a daily-wear piece rather than an occasion-only one. Spec block: Stone: Moissanite (lab-grown) Cut: Round brilliant Center size: 0.5ct DEW (~5mm) Color: DEF colorless Clarity: VVS Metal: 925 sterling silver Setting: Four-prong solitaire with double-row pavé shoulders Styling note: the tapered pavé shoulders make the center stone read larger than its half-carat weight, so this works as a budget-smart engagement ring or a stack-friendly anniversary band. Available with a White (DEF colorless) center or Blue, Pink, and Yellow stones for a playful twist. Care is simple — wipe with a soft cloth and warm soapy water to keep the pavé bright, and store separately so the prongs don't snag knitwear. Offered in ring sizes 4.5 through 8.5.
