The description of this ring on Amazon says that the side stones are small moissanite stones. If you're in doubt, have the small stones tested. Sometimes small stones do not have the same shine and sparkle that larger stones have. There is a video showing the ring in different positions and shows that the ring does sparkle. It didn't seem to show the same color refraction that most moissanites have, but sometimes cameras have a difficult time capturing that. It says that it's GHI clarity, which is not as clear as DEF clarity, so that may explain the reason it looks cloudy.
