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.

Art Deco Hexagon Moissanite Stud Earrings | 0.5ct DEW

About This Product

These hexagon halo studs frame a round brilliant-cut moissanite in a geometric Art Deco cluster that throws fire across a room, not just a jewelry case. Each earring centers a 0.5ct DEW (5mm) round stone in a six-prong basket, ringed by alternating tapered baguettes and pave round accents that build the signature hexagonal silhouette and a subtle starburst flash when light moves across the face. The brilliance is measurable, not marketing. Moissanite carries a refractive index of 2.65 against a diamond's 2.42, so it returns more light and disperses more spectral color; at DEF colorless grade and VVS clarity the stones read white and clean to the naked eye with no visible inclusions. A 9.25 Mohs hardness keeps the table and facet edges crisp through daily wear, and the baguette-and-pave frame is set in 925 sterling silver plated with white gold for a bright, rhodium-like finish that resists dulling. Styling note: a hexagon cluster wears like a halo stud but reads more architectural, so it bridges everyday and dressed-up far better than a plain solitaire. The 5mm center plus the surrounding halo gives roughly the face-up presence of a noticeably larger single stone while staying lightweight for all-day wear, and the secure push-back posts sit flush against the lobe. Pair them with a white-gold-toned chain to keep the Art Deco geometry the focal point, or stack with smaller studs for a layered ear. Specs: 0.5ct DEW (5mm) round brilliant center per earring; DEF color, VVS clarity, RI 2.65, 9.25 Mohs; hexagon baguette-and-pave halo; 925 sterling silver, white-gold plated; six-prong setting; push-back posts.
