Moissanite Engagement Rings

Moissanite engagement rings pair lab-created D colour VVS1 stones with 925 sterling silver bands — delivering exceptional fire and brilliance at a fraction of the cost of a diamond. The collection runs from 0.35ct dainty solitaires to 1ct elongated cushions, with halo, pavé, heart-cut and vintage twisted-band designs. NZ delivery is free on orders over $179.

Choosing Cut, Carat and Setting

Shape changes how a ring reads on the hand:

  • Elongated cushion and marquise cuts visually lengthen the finger.
  • The 0.35ct princess-cut solitaire is the daintiest route for minimalists.
  • Heart cuts and the seven-stone crown wishbone band lean romantic and stackable.
  • Round halos and vintage twisted bands give the fullest classic sparkle.

Carat weights here run from 0.35ct to 1ct, and most stones are graded D colour VVS1 — the whitest, cleanest tier — so your real decision is silhouette rather than stone quality. A sea blue halo design offers something less expected.

The Case for Moissanite

Moissanite's refractive index is higher than a diamond's, so it disperses more light into rainbow fire. It scores 9.25 on the Mohs hardness scale, just behind diamond at 10, which makes it genuinely fit for a ring worn every day. And because every stone is grown in a laboratory, it is conflict-free by nature. For an honest look at the differences, see moissanite vs diamond side by side.

Engagement, Promise or Self-Purchase

A 1ct halo or vintage twisted band makes a classic proposal ring, while the dainty solitaires and the stackable wishbone band work beautifully as commitment pieces or a treat for yourself. If you are marking a promise rather than an engagement, our promise rings collection continues where this one leaves off.

Sizing for a Surprise

If the proposal is a secret, borrow a ring your partner wears on the intended finger and trace its inner circle on paper, or recruit a friend to find out discreetly. Every design is covered by our 60-day quality guarantee, but because each moissanite is one of a kind, change-of-mind returns and exchanges aren't accepted once a ring has been dispatched, so confirm the size before you order.

Keeping the Fire Bright

Everyday oils dull any stone. Warm water, a drop of mild soap and a soft brush restore moissanite's sparkle in minutes — no professional cleaning needed.

Frequently asked questions

Is moissanite a real gemstone?

Yes. Moissanite is a genuine lab-created gemstone with its own grading, not an imitation. Rings in this collection use stones graded up to D colour VVS1, and moissanite scores 9.25 on the Mohs hardness scale — hard enough for daily wear.

How does moissanite compare with diamond?

Moissanite has a higher refractive index, so it throws more rainbow fire under light. Most people cannot tell the two apart at a glance; the practical differences are price and that moissanite is always lab-created and conflict-free.

Are these rings solid gold?

No — every ring is built on 925 sterling silver. Selected designs are finished with gold or rose-gold plating over the silver base.

How do I get the right ring size for a surprise proposal?

Borrow a ring worn on the intended finger and trace its inner circle, or ask a friend to find out discreetly. Because each moissanite is one of a kind, rings can't be returned or exchanged for a change of mind once dispatched, so confirm the size before ordering.

How should I clean a moissanite ring?

Soak it briefly in warm water with mild soap, brush gently with a soft toothbrush and pat dry. This removes the everyday oils that dull sparkle — no professional cleaning is required.

How long until my ring arrives?

Typical delivery is 7-12 working days. Orders over $179 qualify for free NZ shipping, which covers most engagement designs in this collection.

What Is Moissanite? A Moissanite Ring Buying Checklist
  • Moissanite is silicon carbide. Natural moissanite is very rare, so virtually all moissanite in jewellery is lab-grown, including ours.
  • On the Mohs hardness scale, moissanite is rated 9 to 9.5; diamond, at the top of the scale, is 10.
  • Read every stone line on the product page: the centre stone and the small accent stones can be different stones, such as cubic zirconia.
  • Clean moissanite jewellery with warm water, mild dish soap and a soft toothbrush, then rinse and pat dry. Avoid harsh chemicals and ultrasonic cleaners.
