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.

Beaded Lariat Moissanite Drop Y-Necklace, 1ct DEW

About This Product

Layer this lariat solo or stack it under a choker — the open oval-link slider lets you cinch the V higher or lower the drop for a longer line, so one necklace reads three ways. A polished gold-tone ball chain falls into a fluid Y, threading through a smooth open-link station before a slim strand dips to a bezel-set round-brilliant moissanite that swings free at the tip. A second moissanite rides higher on the chain, echoing the drop and keeping the eye moving. The bezel setting wraps each stone completely, protecting the girdle and giving a clean, contemporary edge that snags nothing and needs no fussing. Here is the proof behind the sparkle: moissanite carries a 2.65 refractive index versus a diamond's 2.42, so it throws noticeably more fire under light, and at 9.25 on the Mohs scale it shrugs off the scratches that dull softer stones through daily wear. Each stone is DEF colorless with VVS clarity, set in 925 sterling silver finished in warm yellow-gold plating to match the beaded chain. The graduated ball links keep the piece supple and weightless against the collarbone, while the free-swinging drop catches movement the way a static pendant never can. Stylist's take: wear it with an open collar or a deep neckline where the long drop has room to fall — it lengthens the neck and frames a V-shape beautifully, and the slider means you can adjust the depth to your outfit without ever taking it off. Easy elegance that earns its place in everyday rotation. Specs: round-brilliant moissanite, 1 carat DEW (6.5mm) drop plus matching station, DEF color, VVS clarity, bezel-set, 925 sterling silver, yellow-gold plating, beaded ball chain.
