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.

Butterfly Moissanite Stud Earrings – Marquise & Round

About This Product

These butterfly studs build a complete wing silhouette from four moissanite stones per ear: two marquise cuts open upward as the elongated upper wings while two brilliant rounds sit below as the lower wings, joined by a polished silver bead that forms the body. The mixed-cut layout is what gives the motif its movement — the marquise points stretch and lift the eye while the rounds throw concentrated brightness underneath, so the butterfly reads as one shape rather than scattered accents. Every stone is DEF colorless, VVS clarity moissanite with a 2.65 refractive index, which is why these out-sparkle a diamond's 2.42 on fire; at 9.25 on the Mohs scale the facets stay crisp through daily wear and won't cloud or scratch like cubic zirconia. Each stud carries roughly 0.73ct DEW (about 1.46ct DEW for the pair) — small enough to sit neatly on the lobe as an everyday stud, with enough spread to flash across a room. Styling take: this is a true do-anything earring. Worn alone it dresses up a workday; in a stacked ear it plays well above a plain second-lobe stud or a thin huggie. Because the silhouette is figural rather than a single solitaire, it adds personality without reading loud. The setting is 925 sterling silver finished in 18K white-gold plating for a bright, white face that won't tarnish quickly with normal wear. Friction-back posts keep them secure. Spec: 4-stone moissanite butterfly (marquise + round), 0.73ct DEW each / 1.46ct DEW pair, DEF / VVS, 925 sterling silver, 18K white-gold plated.
