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.

1ct Round Moissanite Halo Pendant | 925 Silver

About This Product

A round brilliant moissanite anchors this halo pendant, ringed by a single row of pave-set accent stones that widen the face and throw extra light across the neckline. The center stone is a 1ct DEW moissanite measuring 6.5mm, held in a four-prong setting so the pavilion stays open to the light and the stone reads its full size. Moissanite earns its sparkle on the numbers: a refractive index of 2.65 against a diamond's 2.42, which is what gives the rainbow fire you see breaking at the edges of each facet. It grades DEF colorless and VVS clarity, and at 9.25 on the Mohs scale it resists the everyday scratches and clouding that dull softer simulants over time. The halo here is not decoration alone -- the bright pave frame makes the 6.5mm center read noticeably larger than its DEW, a jeweller's trick for face-up size. Styling note: a haloed round sits flat and reads polished rather than flashy, so it layers cleanly under an open collar or stands alone on a bare neckline. The fine cable chain keeps the focus on the pendant and carries from desk to dinner without restyling. It is an easy daily piece that still photographs like an occasion necklace. The pendant and cable chain are 925 sterling silver finished in white rhodium plating, matched to the cool white of the stones, and the chain fastens with a secure spring-ring clasp. Specs: 1ct DEW (6.5mm) round moissanite, DEF colorless, VVS clarity, refractive index 2.65, 9.25 Mohs; pave halo; 925 sterling silver, white rhodium plating; cable chain with spring-ring clasp.
