1 Carat Oval Cut Platinum Moissanite Ring+ 1.0-Carat Oval Forever One Moissanite

Moissanite scores 9.25 on the Mohs hardness scale, making it one of the hardest gemstones available. Only diamonds score higher at 10. For an engagement ring worn daily, moissanite is highly resistant to scratching and chipping, and holds up exceptionally well over time. Choosing 1 carat means choosing the size that has symbolized engagement rings longer than any other. It is a classic for a reason.

No. Platinum is naturally white and does not require rhodium plating. Its color is permanent and consistent throughout the metal, so it never develops a yellowish tinge the way white gold can when its plating wears. For white gold options, Do Amore offers free rhodium replating as part of their maintenance services. This makes platinum the lower-maintenance choice in the long run, even with its higher upfront cost.

Extremely durable. Moissanite rates 9.25 on the Mohs hardness scale, and platinum is the most durable precious metal for jewelry settings. Platinum does not wear away over time; it displaces rather than loses metal when scratched. For a 1 carat oval moissanite at roughly 7.7x5.2mm, this combination delivers a ring built to last generations with minimal maintenance.

Oval cuts are also brilliant-cut stones, so their sparkle is similar in character to round brilliants. The main difference is that the elongated shape creates a slightly different pattern of light return. Oval stones produce beautiful brilliance and fire. The bow-tie shadow in the center is the one variable that separates a well-cut oval from a poorly cut one.

Do Amore combines platinum's unmatched durability with a social mission that has funded clean water for over 22,000 people since 2017. This 1 carat oval moissanite benefits from platinum's naturally white, hypoallergenic properties and the oval's ability to appear larger than its carat weight suggests. Every ring is handcrafted in the US from recycled metals, and impact is verified through GPS well coordinates.
