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.

Heart Moissanite Pendant | 0.5ct Round 925 Silver

About This Product

Romance gets a measurable upgrade in this 925 sterling silver heart pendant, where a 0.5ct DEW round-cut moissanite (about 5mm) sits at the core of a sparkling pavé heart, framed in turn by a smooth, high-polish heart outline. The center stone is held in a low four-prong basket so it floats inside the open silhouette and catches light from the front and sides. A halo of small accent stones traces the inner heart, doubling the surface that throws fire and giving the piece presence well beyond its dainty footprint. The result is a layering-friendly pendant that reads as special on its own cable chain or stacked with shorter pieces. Why moissanite earns the spotlight: its refractive index of 2.65 outpaces diamond's 2.42, so the round brilliant cut returns noticeably more rainbow flash, while a 9.25 Mohs hardness keeps facet edges crisp through daily wear. The stone is DEF colorless (Stone Color White) at VVS clarity, set against bright rhodium-finished sterling that won't compete with the stone's white sparkle. Spec block: Stone: Moissanite; Cut: Round brilliant; Size: 0.5ct DEW (about 5mm); Color: DEF colorless; Clarity: VVS; Metal: 925 sterling silver; Setting: Four-prong center with pave heart halo. Styling note: a heart this compact sits well at the collarbone on a 16-18in chain and pairs cleanly with hoops or studs without crowding the neckline. Care is simple: store it separately to avoid scratches from harder stones, wipe with a soft cloth after wear, and keep it away from lotions and perfume to preserve the silver's shine.
