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.

U-Shaped Pavé Moissanite Hoop Earrings | 925 Silver

About This Product

These U-shaped huggie hoops wrap the lower lobe in a continuous arc of pavé-set moissanite, so the sparkle sits flush against the ear rather than dangling. The U-profile is shorter than a full round hoop, which makes them a secure everyday pair that stays put through gym, sleep and shower without the snag of an open hoop. Each hoop is paved with two rows of round-brilliant moissanite along its outer face. Moissanite reads as bright white because the stones are graded DEF colorless with VVS clarity, and it out-sparkles diamond on raw fire: a refractive index of 2.65 against diamond's 2.42. At 9.25 on the Mohs scale it resists the scratches that dull cubic zirconia, so the pavé keeps its flash for years of daily wear. The earrings are 925 sterling silver finished in rhodium-look white gold plating, with a hinged lever-back latch that snaps shut behind the lobe. Styling note: pavé huggies are the workhorse of a stacked-ear look. Worn low in the first hole they anchor a curated lobe; worn solo they carry a bare ear without reading dressy. The white finish stays neutral against both silver and gold jewelry, so they layer with anything already in your stack. Stone size is measured in diamond equivalent weight: the field of round accents totals roughly 0.5ct DEW of moissanite per earring. Carat weight quoted is per earring. Specs: 925 sterling silver, rhodium-look white gold plating | moissanite, DEF color, VVS clarity, 9.25 Mohs, RI 2.65 | ~0.5ct DEW pavé per earring | U-shaped huggie hoop, hinged lever-back.
