About Moissanite Engagement Rings Under $200

What $200 buys in moissanite vs diamond

  • Moissanite, 2 ct D VVS1, S925 gold-plated: under $200 here.
  • Lab-grown diamond, 1 ct, similar setting: roughly $500 to $1,500 at retail in 2026.
  • Natural diamond, 1 ct: several thousand dollars.

Moissanite has more fire (dispersion 0.104 vs 0.044 for diamond) and a 9.25 Mohs hardness, so it stays bright with normal care. It is not a diamond and we never label it as one; the certificate card says moissanite.

How to choose

Pick the shape first (round and oval show the most sparkle, emerald and marquise look larger per carat), then the band: solitaire for a classic look, pavé or halo for more brilliance, a bridal set if you want the wedding band matched from day one. Ring sizes run US 5 to 10; check our size guide before ordering. Tighter budget? See engagement rings under $100.

Collection FAQs

Is the moissanite in these rings real or simulated?

The stones are genuine lab-created moissanite, not cubic zirconia or diamond imitations. Each ring includes a certificate card stating moissanite, and the stones have D-color VVS1 clarity—comparable to top-tier diamonds but with more fire.

What is the ring made of and will it last?

The band is 925 sterling silver with 18K gold or platinum plating. Moissanite has a hardness of 9.25 on the Mohs scale, making it very durable for daily wear. With proper care (avoid water, chemicals, and store dry), the ring should stay beautiful for years.

How do I choose the right size?

These rings are available in US sizes 5 to 10. Please check our size guide before ordering to ensure proper fit. If you're between sizes, we recommend sizing up or contacting customer service for assistance.
