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.

Moissanite Huggie Hoop Earrings | 925 Silver

About This Product

These moissanite huggie hoop earrings put the sparkle exactly where it shows: a single channel-set row of round brilliant moissanite runs across the front-facing half of each snug hoop, while the back half is plain polished metal that sits flush against the ear. The result is a compact, everyday hoop that reads as a continuous band of light from the front without overwhelming a small lobe. The stones are graded DEF colorless and VVS clarity, with a refractive index of 2.65 against a diamond's 2.42 — that higher index is what drives the disc-of-fire flash you see catching the channel edges in the photo. At 9.25 on the Mohs scale, moissanite resists the daily knocks and abrasion that dull softer simulants, so the channel keeps its mirror finish. Each hoop is built on genuine 925 sterling silver and finished in your choice of plating: white gold (shown), rose gold, or 18K yellow gold. Styling take: huggies this size are the workhorse of an ear stack — wear them solo for a polished office look, or pair them as the anchor below a stud or a larger statement hoop in a second piercing. The channel setting protects the stones from snagging on hair and scarves, which is why we recommend this style over claw-set hoops for people who wear earrings around the clock. A hinged snap-bar closure clicks shut securely and stays put through the day. Specs: 925 sterling silver; white/rose/18K yellow gold plating; channel-set round moissanite, DEF color, VVS clarity; refractive index 2.65; Mohs 9.25; hinged snap-back hoop closure.
