1 Carat Cushion Cut 18k White Gold Moissanite Ring+ 1.0-Carat Cushion Forever One Moissanite

Moissanite actually produces more sparkle than a diamond, with a dispersion rating of 0.104 compared to a diamond's 0.044. Its double refraction creates rainbow-colored flashes that are particularly visible in direct light. Some people love this fire; others prefer the whiter, more restrained sparkle of a diamond.

Potentially, yes. Because 18k is a softer metal, the rhodium plating can wear through slightly faster under heavy daily use compared to a harder 14k alloy. The difference is not dramatic, but it is worth noting. Both metals typically need replating. Do Amore offers free maintenance services on white gold.

A 1 carat lab diamond typically costs between $800 and $2,500 depending on cut, color, and clarity. At 1 carat, this was the average diamond size for many decades before lab-grown diamonds came along, making it a proven, timeless choice. Do Amore offers free maintenance services on white gold. That gap has widened in recent years as lab diamond production has grown. Lab grown offers significantly more stone for the same budget.

Cushion cuts can retain color more than round brilliants because their facet structure disperses light differently. For a white, colorless appearance, choosing a stone with a slightly higher color grade (H or better) is often recommended for cushion cuts compared to what you might choose in a round. Step-faceted cushions are particularly sensitive to color.

18k white gold's higher purity provides a premium setting for this 1 carat cushion cut moissanite, where the cushion's broad facets showcase moissanite's exceptional light dispersion. Moissanite scores 9.25 on the Mohs hardness scale, making it an excellent daily wear choice. Do Amore crafts each ring from recycled metals in the US, with every sale funding one person's clean water through charity: water.
