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.

Vintage 3CT Moissanite Halo Ring | Round Split-Shank

About This Product

A 3ct DEW (9.5mm) round-cut moissanite anchors this halo engagement ring, lifted in a four-prong head so light reaches the pavilion from every angle. Moissanite reads brighter than diamond because its 2.65 refractive index (diamond is 2.42) returns more light, and the surrounding halo of micro-set accent stones doubles the perceived spread, making the center read closer to 3.5ct on the hand. The split-shank band is the styling detail worth paying attention to: instead of a single solid shank, the band divides into two pavé-set rows as it approaches the head, framing the halo and drawing the eye inward. It is a French-pavé technique that flatters slimmer fingers and gives a vintage-European silhouette without a heavy, dated feel. Choose the white stone for a classic diamond look, or pink, golden yellow, or blue for a coloured-gemstone statement. Each stone is graded DEF colorless and VVS clarity, hand-set into 925 sterling silver finished in rhodium plating for a bright white-gold tone that resists tarnish. At 9.25 on the Mohs scale, moissanite is second only to diamond in hardness, so the halo and split-shank pavé hold up to daily wear. Expert take: a round-cut stone in a halo is the most forgiving brilliance combination there is. Hidden inclusions vanish in the sparkle, and the halo lets a 9.5mm center wear like a larger stone for a fraction of the cost.
