Is moissanite a real diamond?

Moissanite is not a diamond—it's a distinct gemstone with its own unique properties. Originally discovered in a meteor crater in 1893, today's moissanite is lab-created. It actually has more brilliance and fire than diamonds due to its higher refractive index (2.65 vs 2.42), while being nearly as hard (9.25 vs 10 on the Mohs scale).

Will moissanite pass a diamond tester?

Standard diamond testers measure thermal conductivity, and moissanite often passes these tests because both stones conduct heat similarly. Advanced testers that measure electrical conductivity can distinguish between them. We believe in transparency—our moissanite is beautiful in its own right.

Does moissanite get cloudy over time?

No, moissanite does not get cloudy, lose its sparkle, or change color over time. It's a stable, durable gemstone that maintains its brilliance for a lifetime with proper care. Unlike some simulants, moissanite is highly resistant to scratching, heat, and everyday chemicals.

Can I wear moissanite jewelry every day?

Absolutely! With a hardness of 9.25 on the Mohs scale (second only to diamond), moissanite is extremely durable and perfect for everyday wear, including engagement rings. We recommend removing jewelry during activities involving harsh chemicals or extreme impact.

What is your return policy?

We offer a 90-day worry-free return policy. If you're not 100% satisfied with your purchase, you can return it within 90 days for a full refund. All our moissanite jewelry also comes with a lifetime warranty covering manufacturing defects and stone clouding.

12mm Moissanite Cuban Link Chain | 925 Silver

About This Product

Command the room with a 12mm iced-out Cuban link chain that wraps the neck in unbroken pave fire. Every link is hand-set with round-cut moissanite in a full micro-pave layout, so light catches from every angle whether you wear it solo or stacked over a tee. The diamond-cut curb links lie flat and dense, giving the chain genuine weight and drape rather than a thin, hollow profile, and the white finish keeps the focus on the stones. Each moissanite stone is graded DEF colorless with VVS clarity and carries a 2.65 refractive index versus a diamond's 2.42, which is why the pave reads brighter and throws more rainbow fire than a comparable diamond chain. At 9.25 on the Mohs scale the stones resist the daily scuffs an everyday chain takes, and they hold that brilliance without clouding. The body is solid 925 sterling silver finished with rhodium plating for a bright white, tarnish-resistant surface, and it closes with a secure box clasp and a baguette-accented push-tab so it stays put through a full day of wear. Stylist take: a 12mm width is the sweet spot for a statement Cuban. It is substantial enough to anchor a streetwear or hip-hop look, but still clean enough to layer with a thinner rope chain or a pendant for added depth. Choose 18-20 inches to sit right at the collarbone, or 22-26 inches if you want it to layer long over a hoodie or open collar. Offered in lengths from 16 to 26 inches to match your build and how you like a chain to sit. Specs: 12mm width | round-cut moissanite, DEF color, VVS clarity, full micro-pave | 925 sterling silver, rhodium plated | secure box clasp | lengths 16-26 in.
