After testing rings from six brands over two years, I built this guide to help you navigate the moissanite market without overpaying or undershooting on quality.
**The four things that actually matter:** - D-Color grade: insist on D or E — never settle for G or below - VVS1 clarity: eye-clean at arm's length is the minimum standard - Cut quality: brilliant round or cushion cuts retain fire best - Sterling silver with rhodium or gold plating outlasts white gold for daily wear
