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 Moissanite Pendant | 1ct DEW Baguette Halo

About This Product

Wear a stone that throws more colored fire than a diamond: this Art Deco pendant centers a round brilliant 1ct DEW moissanite (6.5mm) inside a sunburst halo of tapered baguette stones, so light splinters across the whole circle every time you move. The baguettes radiate outward in a ballerina setting, giving the pendant the geometric, fan-shaped symmetry that defines 1920s Art Deco jewelry. The math backs the sparkle. Moissanite carries a refractive index of 2.65 against a diamond’s 2.42, which is what produces that extra rainbow flash, and at 9.25 on the Mohs scale it resists scratching through daily wear. The center stone is cut and graded to DEF colorless, VVS clarity, so it reads bright white face-up with no visible inclusions. The setting is 925 sterling silver finished in white gold plating, holding the round center in a prong basket framed by the baguette surround. The pendant head measures roughly 10mm x 20mm and hangs from a polished triangular bail. Stylist note: a round-plus-baguette halo this compact sits high near the collarbone, so it layers cleanly over a crew neckline or under an open collar without competing with earrings. It rides an adjustable cable chain (up to 450mm / 18in) with a secure spring-ring clasp, letting you set it at the choker or princess length. A vintage-leaning piece that still reads modern enough for everyday. Specs: round 1ct DEW (6.5mm) moissanite center, DEF color, VVS clarity, RI 2.65, 9.25 Mohs; tapered baguette ballerina halo; 925 sterling silver, white gold-plated; pendant ~10x20mm; adjustable cable chain to 450mm; spring-ring clasp.
