Key features & specs

How it compares

When compared to mined diamond rings, the Charles & Colvard moissanite offers significantly more refractive index (brilliance) at roughly 10% of the price. Unlike lab-grown diamonds, which are chemically identical to mined stones, moissanite is a distinct mineral that creates a "rainbow" sparkle effect that many find more appealing than the white light of traditional stones.

What to know before buying

1. Moissanite has a higher refractive index than diamond, meaning it will sparkle more intensely in direct sunlight.
2. Ensure you select the Forever One grade specifically if you want a completely colorless look, as lower grades may show yellow tints.
3. This ring is handcrafted to order, so allow for a three-week production window before shipping.
4. The 14K gold used is sourced from recycled precious metals to maintain the brand's sustainability standards.
5. Cleaning is simple with mild soap and a soft brush to maintain the stone's oil-resistant surface.
