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.

925 Silver Moissanite Huggie Hoop Earrings

About This Product

These 925 sterling silver moissanite huggie hoops wrap close to the lobe and throw real fire from a single channel-set row of round-brilliant moissanite running along the front-facing edge. Because moissanite carries a 2.65 refractive index versus a diamond's 2.42, that slim pave line returns noticeably more sparkle than the same width set with cubic zirconia, while the rear half of each hoop stays plain polished metal so the earring sits flush and comfortable. Proof is in the material spec. The stones are DEF colourless and VVS clarity, so the line reads white and clean with no visible inclusions at lobe distance. At 9.25 on the Mohs scale the moissanite resists the everyday scratching that dulls softer simulants, and the channel setting protects each stone's girdle from knocks. The 925 sterling silver base is finished in 18K plating, offered here in white, rose, or yellow gold so you can match existing pieces. Styling take: huggies this size (a snug inner diameter rather than a drop hoop) are the pair you leave in. They read as an everyday second-hole or single-lobe staple, layer cleanly under a larger statement hoop, and the hinged snap-post closure clicks shut so there is no backing to lose. For a stacked ear, run two of these up one lobe in matched or mixed plating.
