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 Shank Moissanite Solitaire Ring | 0.5ct Round

About This Product

A single round-cut moissanite takes center stage on this twisted-shank sterling silver ring, where the band curves and crosses in a graceful bypass before lifting the stone in a secure four-prong head. The twist gives a classic solitaire an updated, asymmetric line that flatters the finger, while the raised setting lets light reach the stone from every side. At roughly 0.5ct DEW (about 5mm), the center is substantial enough to read as an engagement or promise ring yet slim enough for daily wear. Choose from White, Blue, Golden Yellow, or Pink stone colors to match the moment or the wearer. The brilliance is built in: moissanite's refractive index of 2.65 outshines diamond's 2.42, so the round brilliant cut throws more rainbow fire, and a 9.25 Mohs hardness keeps the ring scratch-resistant through years of wear. The White option is DEF colorless at VVS clarity; the colored stones carry the same VVS clarity standard. Spec block: Stone: Moissanite; Cut: Round brilliant; Size: 0.5ct DEW (about 5mm); Color: DEF colorless (White option); Clarity: VVS; Metal: 925 sterling silver; Setting: Four-prong solitaire on a twisted bypass shank. Styling note: the sculpted shank makes this a striking solo statement, but it also nests neatly against a plain band if you like to stack. Care is easy: store it separately to protect the polish, clean with warm water and a soft brush behind the stone where light enters, and remove it before heavy chores or applying lotions so both metal and stone stay brilliant.
