Key features & specs

How it compares

When evaluating The Round Solitaire Moissanite Engagement Ring against traditional diamond rings, the primary difference lies in the refractive index. Moissanite exhibits more "fire" or rainbow flashes than a diamond, making it a distinct choice for those who love high-brilliance jewelry. Compared to cubic zirconia alternatives, this Brilliant Earth piece offers significantly higher durability, as moissanite is the second hardest gemstone used in jewelry, ensuring it won't scratch or cloud over time.

What to know before buying

1. Select your preferred metal type, as the 14k rose and yellow gold options provide a vintage feel compared to the modern look of white gold or platinum.
2. Confirm your ring size using a professional sizer, as the thin band design can occasionally feel looser than wider fashion rings.
3. Understand that moissanite is naturally double-refractive, which creates the signature shimmering effect that many buyers prefer over diamonds.
4. Consider the stone carat weight equivalent to ensure the proportions match the wearer's hand size and personal style.
5. Review the Brilliant Earth lifetime manufacturing warranty to understand the protections offered for your investment.
