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.

Teardrop Crown Moissanite Ring | 1ct DEW Halo 925

About This Product

Set at a slight tilt, the teardrop moissanite at the head of this ring reads like a single crown jewel resting on a curved bypass band. A neat halo of small rounds hugs the pear-shaped centre, and a single line of pave sweeps up one shoulder and over the top to form a minimalist crown peak before tapering away clean on the other side. The teardrop centre is roughly 1ct DEW (about 6.5mm long), prong-set so light enters from below. Moissanite supplies the fire: its 2.65 refractive index beats diamond's 2.42 for visible brilliance, while 9.25 Mohs hardness lets the halo and slim shank take daily wear without dulling. Stone Color White is DEF colorless, with default VVS clarity for an eye-clean, luminous table. Spec block: Stone - Moissanite; Cut - Pear/teardrop with round halo; Size - 1ct DEW, approx. 6.5mm; Color - DEF colorless; Clarity - VVS; Metal - 925 sterling silver; Setting - prong halo on bypass pave band. The bypass band curves to one side rather than meeting head-on, which keeps the profile delicate and lets the teardrop sit proud - a flattering look on slim and medium fingers alike. Styling tip: this is an understated statement piece, so it layers happily with a thin plain band or wears solo as a dainty engagement or anniversary ring. Keep it bright with a warm soapy-water soak and a soft brush behind the halo where residue gathers; avoid ultrasonic cleaners and chemicals, and store it separately so harder gems don't scratch the silver. Choose White, Yellow, Pink or Blue stone finishes in sizes 4.5 through 8.5.
