Frequently asked questions
Is moissanite ethical?
Yes — moissanite is one of the most ethical stones available. Because it’s lab-grown, there’s no mining, no conflict, and far less environmental impact. Bellari exists to offer intentional, beautiful jewelry that reflects your values — and your style.
Is moissanite a real gemstone?
Yes — moissanite is a genuine gemstone composed of silicon carbide. Though originally found in meteorites, today it’s lab-grown for quality and sustainability. At Bellari, we source premium VVS clarity, D-colour moissanite — cut for maximum brilliance and minimal environmental impact. Read more here - Is Moissanite Real? Everything You Need to Know
How long does moissanite last?
Forever. Moissanite is nearly as hard as diamond and resistant to scratching, clouding, and dullness. It’s suitable for daily wear — whether in engagement rings, tennis bracelets, or earrings — and will retain its sparkle for generations.
Does moissanite look like a diamond?
Absolutely. Moissanite is often mistaken for diamonds — but it sparkles even more due to its higher refractive index. Bellari’s moissanite is hand-selected for its fire and clarity, offering a timeless diamond-like appearance with a modern edge.
Does moissanite get cloudy over time?
No — quality moissanite does not cloud, dull, or change appearance over time. If it appears dull, it’s usually just surface buildup that’s easily cleaned. Bellari’s stones are cut to last, and we provide care tips with every order. Read more here.
Will moissanite pass a diamond tester?
Bellari’s moissanite passes most thermal diamond testers, thanks to its high conductivity. However, advanced testers may distinguish moissanite from diamond — a fact that reflects its unique identity as a fine gemstone in its own right.
How do I clean and care for moissanite jewelry?
Clean gently using warm water, mild soap, and a soft brush. Avoid harsh chemicals or ultrasonic cleaners. Each Bellari piece comes with a care guide.
Why is moissanite so much cheaper than diamonds?
Moissanite is lab-grown, making it more accessible without the ethical and financial baggage of mined diamonds.
Can you tell the difference between moissanite and diamond?
To the untrained eye — rarely. Even jewelers sometimes need specialised tools to tell them apart. Moissanite has slightly more fire (rainbow sparkle), which many of our clients find more captivating than a diamond’s white light alone.
Is moissanite good for engagement rings or special occasions?
Moissanite is an exceptional choice for engagement rings, wedding jewelry, and everyday heirlooms — thanks to its durability, brilliance, and ethical appeal. While Bellari currently specialises in eternity bands rather than traditional solitaire engagement rings, many of our clients choose these timeless designs to mark proposals, anniversaries, and commitment milestones.
Our moissanite eternity rings are crafted to last and shine with meaning — whether you’re stacking them as a bridal set, gifting a milestone, or simply celebrating yourself.
