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. Prices start from £50.95, with free UK delivery over £79.
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. Stock designs come with 60-day returns and exchanges, so a near-miss on size can be put right after the big moment.
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. Full steps are in our guide on how to clean and care for your moissanite ring.
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. Stock designs carry 60-day returns and exchanges, so the size can be corrected afterwards.
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 £79 qualify for free UK shipping, which covers most engagement designs in this collection.
