FAQS

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. A 2 carat stone offers the kind of presence that draws compliments. It is above average in size but not so large that it feels impractical for daily wear.
Yes, for most couples it is. Engagement rings are high-value items worn daily, making them susceptible to loss, theft, and accidental damage. Jewelry insurance is typically inexpensive relative to the ring's value, often 1 to 2 percent of its worth annually. Many homeowner and renter insurance policies cover jewelry with a rider, or you can use a dedicated jewelry insurer. Sitting just above the current average, 2 carats strikes a balance between making a statement and maintaining everyday wearability.
The asscher's step-cut facets create long, elegant flashes of light rather than pinpoint sparkle, and moissanite's superior dispersion fills those facets with vivid rainbow fire at 2 carats. The effect is a hall-of-mirrors quality with bursts of color. Moissanite's higher refractive index compared to diamond makes the asscher cut particularly striking, as the broad, open facets amplify the stone's natural fire.
Yes. Like other step cuts, the Asscher's open table facet makes inclusions and color more visible than in brilliant cuts, which use sparkle to hide imperfections. For a clean-looking Asscher cut, VS2 or better clarity is typically recommended. The stone should be viewed in person or with high-quality video to assess how it looks in natural light.
