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.

Twisted Band Moissanite Ring | 1ct Round Bypass

About This Product

This twisted band moissanite ring frames a 1ct round brilliant centre (6.5mm DEW) in a four-prong head, then splits the shank into two crossing shoulders that sweep past each other in a true bypass silhouette. Where most solitaires sit flat, this one wraps the finger with movement, so the centre stone reads larger against the lift of the twist. The 1ct round is cut to maximise return: a 2.65 refractive index (against 2.42 for diamond) throws more fire across the table, and DEF colourless, VVS clarity grading keeps it bright white with no visible inclusions. At 9.25 on the Mohs scale it shrugs off daily wear. Each crossing shoulder is pave-set with a graduated row of small accent stones that taper toward the band, drawing the eye up to the head. The mount is rhodium-plated 925 sterling silver, holding the bright cool-white tone shown here and resisting tarnish. Expert take: the bypass twist is the styling reason to choose this over a plain solitaire. The split shoulders give the illusion of a wider, more substantial band without adding metal weight, and the pave catches light at the angle a flat band misses. It stacks cleanly with a thin plain or eternity band nested into the open side of the twist. Beyond the colourless centre shown, the stone is also offered in pink, golden yellow, and blue for a coloured-gem look.
