1 Carat Round Cut 18k White Gold Moissanite Ring+ 1.0-Carat Hearts and Arrows Forever One Moissanite

Moissanite was originally discovered in a meteorite crater in 1893. Natural moissanite is extremely rare, so virtually all moissanite sold today is lab-created. It is a silicon carbide gemstone that closely resembles a diamond while offering more colorful sparkle and a lower price point. At 1 carat, you get the engagement ring size that set the standard for generations, now at a fraction of what it would cost with a mined stone.

18k white gold contains 75% pure gold versus 58.3% for 14k. It has a softer, warmer base metal and a more premium feel, but it is more prone to surface scratches because of the higher gold content. The rhodium plating on both looks nearly identical when new, so the difference in daily appearance is minimal until the plating wears. 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. 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.

A round brilliant is relatively efficient in how it displays its carat weight. Its diameter scales predictably with carat weight. Some elongated cuts like oval or marquise can appear larger face-up than a round of the same carat weight because they spread across more finger length. Round stones are proportionate and balanced rather than maximizing perceived size. At 1 carat, this was the average diamond size for many decades before lab-grown diamonds came along, making it a proven, timeless choice.

Expect outstanding sparkle and a meaningful experience when ordering a 1ct round moissanite in 18k white gold from Do Amore. The round brilliant's classic 58-facet pattern combined with moissanite's superior fire genuinely outshines diamond in rainbow dispersion. Set in premium 18k white gold with 75% gold purity, this ring is built to impress. Your purchase funds a clean water well, with GPS coordinates and photos documenting the specific project your ring supports.
