FAQS
1. Does moissanite get cloudy?
+Like diamonds, moissanite stones will not get cloudy over time.
2. Can I wear a moissanite ring every day?
+Yes! Moissanite’s superior hardness makes it an ideal ring to wear every day! At a 9.25 hardness on the Mohs scale, it stands up to wear and tear extremely well, making it a great engagement ring choice. Also, moissanite’s mineral makeup means that it resists oil and dirt better than a diamond.
3. Does moissanite break easily?
+Moissanite resists chipping and breaking better than diamonds. Unlike diamonds, moissanite does not break in its crystal direction, as its cleavage in “indistinct”. This means that while a moissanite can still be chipped, it is less prone to the large breaks that diamonds experience.
4. Can moissanite get scratched?
+Yes, but only by the few things harder than it, like diamonds and certain abrasive cleaners. However, that’s about all that can scratch a moissanite! Most other gems and surfaces, such as sapphire or granite, are softer than moissanite and cannot cause scratches. Because moissanite is a 9.25 on the hardness scale, and diamonds are a 10, diamonds can scratch moissanites.
5. Does moissanite lose its sparkle?
+No! Moissanite stays super sparkly for its whole life. Because of its superior hardness and great refractive index, moissanite stands the test of time. Unlike a CZ (a less beautiful diamond simulant), you never have to worry about a moissanite becoming dull, losing its brilliance, or getting foggy. It will be beautiful and bright forever.
