Moissanite G-SHOCK Bezels: Stones, Fit and Care
Short answer
A moissanite G-SHOCK bezel is an aftermarket replacement bezel set with moissanite, a lab-created gemstone with more fire than diamond. Ours are brass bezels plated in the finish you choose and set with VVS moissanite, each made for one base model: GA-2100, DW-6900 or DW-5600. Check your case-back model number before ordering; the watch and installation are not included.
What “moissanite” and “VVS” mean
Moissanite is a lab-created gemstone (silicon carbide). It rates about 9.25 on the Mohs hardness scale, harder than sapphire, and its dispersion, the rainbow flashes called fire, is more than twice that of diamond. VVS (“very, very slightly included”) describes stones with inclusions that are extremely difficult to see under magnification, which is what gives a pavé bezel its clean, bright sparkle.
What the bezel is made of
Our moissanite bezels have a brass base that is plated in the color you choose: white gold, gold, rose gold, black or two-tone, depending on the design. The stones are VVS moissanite in D color, and they pass thermal diamond testers. Our GA-2100 mod kits are stainless steel instead.
How to check compatibility
Turn your watch over and read the model number on the case back. A GA-2100 bezel is made for the GA-2100 case, a DW-6900 bezel for the DW-6900 and a DW-5600 bezel for the DW-5600. Fit can vary between sub-models, so message us if you are unsure.

Caring for an iced-out bezel
Treat it like fine jewelry.
- Wipe with a soft, dry cloth after wear.
- Avoid perfume, chlorine and harsh cleaners.
- Store separately so stones do not scratch other pieces.
