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.

1ct Moissanite Halo Drop Earrings | DEF VVS Silver

About This Product

These halo drop earrings frame a 6.5mm round brilliant-cut moissanite (1ct DEW per earring) in a circle of micro-pavé accents, so the centre stone reads larger and catches light from the leverback through to the drop. The moissanite is graded DEF colorless and VVS clarity, with a 2.65 refractive index against a diamond's 2.42 — that higher index is why these throw more fire across a room than the price suggests. Each stone is cut with 57 facets and rates 9.25 on the Mohs scale, second only to diamond, so the table holds its polish through daily wear. The halo and the upper hoop are both set with small round accent stones, while the secure leverback closure keeps the drop sitting flush against the lobe rather than swinging loose. The metal is 925 sterling silver finished in rhodium / white-gold plating for a bright, cool-white tone that mirrors the colorless centre stones. Styling note: a halo round on a slim pavé leverback is the most forgiving drop shape for an everyday-to-evening wardrobe — short enough to wear under hair down, sparkly enough to stand in for studs at a wedding. Pair with a white-gold or platinum chain to keep the tone consistent; the rhodium finish won't fight a warmer yellow-gold stack. Because moissanite carat weight differs from diamond, size is given as diamond equivalent weight (DEW): each 1ct DEW centre measures 6.5mm across, a balanced everyday scale that still flashes from the halo on a leverback drop.
