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.

1ctw Moissanite Huggie Hoop Earrings | Bar-Set Silver

About This Product

These bar-set moissanite huggie hoops trace a continuous line of round brilliant-cut stones across the front of each hoop, so the sparkle reads as one unbroken arc of light rather than a single point. The DEF colorless, VVS-clarity moissanite carries a 2.65 refractive index versus 2.42 for diamond, which is why each stone throws noticeably more fire under everyday light. At 1ctw per earring (0.5ct / 5mm round stones across the row), they sit close to the lobe in the hinged huggie format shown, hugging the ear instead of dangling. Look closely at the photo and you can see the shared four-prong bar setting: each round stone is held by slim white-metal claws that bridge to its neighbor, keeping the stones level and the gallery open so light passes through the pavilions. The mounting is 925 sterling silver finished in white gold plating, which is what gives the bright, neutral-cool tone in the image. Styling-wise, a graduated bar-set huggie is the workhorse second piercing or everyday primary stud upgrade — substantial enough to stand alone, restrained enough to stack under a larger hoop or cuff. Because the stones run along the front face rather than wrapping the full hoop, they read clearly from straight-on, which photographs and reads well in profile. Moissanite's 9.25 Mohs hardness handles daily wear and the click-down huggie closure stays secure. Specs: 1ctw moissanite per earring (0.5ct / 5mm round, DEF color, VVS clarity, RI 2.65, 9.25 Mohs); bar/shared-prong setting; 925 sterling silver, white gold plated; hinged huggie hoop with click closure.
