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 Moissanite Circle Pendant Necklace | 925 Silver

About This Product

This 1ct moissanite circle pendant pairs a single round-cut solitaire with an open-circle halo, so the stone reads larger than its footprint while the negative space keeps the look modern and layerable. The 1ct center is a 6.5mm DEW (Diamond Equivalent Weight) round brilliant, four-prong set toward the base of the circle so it catches light against bare skin rather than disappearing into the chain. The open circle that frames it is hand-set with pavé moissanite accents running the full perimeter, and that pavé continues up the elongated bail for a continuous line of sparkle from chain to stone. Every stone is graded DEF colorless with VVS clarity, and moissanite's 2.65 refractive index (versus 2.42 for diamond) is what drives the fire you can see firing off the center facets in the photo. At 9.25 on the Mohs scale it resists scratching and daily wear. Stylist take: the circle motif is the easiest solitaire to layer. Worn alone it reads like a refined eternity-circle pendant; stacked above a shorter paperclip or bar chain it anchors a two- or three-tier neckline without the stones tangling. The cool white-gold-plated finish keeps it crisp under both warm and cool lighting. Built on 925 sterling silver with a bright white rhodium-toned plating, hung on an adjustable cable chain with a secure spring-ring clasp. Specs: 1ct DEW (6.5mm) round moissanite center, pavé moissanite open-circle halo and bail, DEF colorless, VVS clarity, 2.65 refractive index, 9.25 Mohs, 925 sterling silver, white gold plated, adjustable cable chain, spring-ring clasp.
