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 Prong Moissanite Solitaire Ring | 0.5ct 5mm Silver

About This Product

A round-brilliant moissanite held in a twisted four-prong head, where the claws spiral slightly inward to catch light from above and the side - a fresh take on the classic solitaire that still reads clean on the hand. The smooth tapered band keeps the focus on the center stone. Why it lasts: every facet is cut to maximize return, and moissanite carries a 2.65 refractive index versus 2.42 for diamond, so it throws noticeably more fire under warm and cool light alike. At 9.25 on the Mohs scale it shrugs off the daily scuffs that dull softer stones, and the material is colorless in the DEF range with VVS clarity. The center is a 0.5ct DEW round measuring roughly 5mm - a delicate, everyday scale that sits flush and won't snag. Choose the colorless white stone for a traditional engagement look, or pick the pink, golden-yellow, or blue option for a fancy-color statement that still keeps the solitaire silhouette. Expert take: the twisted-prong head lifts the stone a touch higher than a standard basket, so more light enters from underneath - a real fire advantage on a smaller stone where you want every flash to count. The tapered shank flatters slender and average fingers. Set in genuine 925 sterling silver with a bright rhodium-finish white tone, in ring sizes 4.5 through 8.5. Specs: 0.5ct DEW (~5mm) round moissanite | DEF color | VVS clarity | RI 2.65 | 9.25 Mohs | 925 sterling silver, rhodium finish | twisted four-prong solitaire.
