Frequently asked questions
How is moissanite different from a diamond?
Moissanite has a higher refractive index than diamond, giving it more rainbow fire. It measures 9.25 on the Mohs scale (vs diamond's 10) and costs a fraction of the price for an equivalent visual size. It is a lab-created gem chemically distinct from diamond.
Will moissanite cloud or fade over time?
No. Moissanite does not cloud, yellow, or lose brilliance. Its sparkle is permanent and does not require special restoration over the years.
Is moissanite suitable for an engagement ring?
Yes. With Mohs 9.25 hardness, moissanite is the second-hardest known gemstone after diamond, making it an excellent choice for daily-wear engagement and wedding rings.
What setting metal do you offer?
Most moissanite styles are available in 925 sterling silver. Selected designs offer 10K or 14K gold/rose-gold plating. See the variant options on each product page.
How do I clean my moissanite ring?
Soak in warm water with a few drops of mild dish soap, gently brush with a soft toothbrush, and rinse. Pat dry with a lint-free cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals and ultrasonic cleaners.
