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.

Cinched-Waist Pavé Moissanite Bead Necklace – 1.38ct DEW

About This Product

A roller bead that sparkles from every angle, this cinched-waist pendant draws inward at its center for a subtle hourglass profile that reads sculptural without fuss. The barrel is wrapped in horizontal rows of pavé moissanite totaling 1.38ct DEW, so brilliance circles the entire bead and keeps flashing as it shifts and turns on the chain. Because the bead rotates freely, you never see a dull side — light catches a fresh row of stones with every movement. Moissanite throws more fire than a diamond, with a refractive index of 2.65 versus a diamond's 2.42, which is why even these small accent stones flash colour across a room. Every stone is DEF colorless and VVS clarity, prong-set into a polished 925 sterling silver barrel finished in your choice of white-gold or rose-gold plating. The pendant rides on a fine cable chain with an adjustable slider so you can wear it high at the collarbone or let it drop lower under a neckline. At a 9.25 Mohs hardness, the stones resist scratching and hold their polish through daily wear. Styling note: a compact pavé bead like this is the easiest everyday sparkle to layer — stack it above a longer pendant or wear it solo with an open collar, and the freely-spinning bead keeps the look alive whether you're at the office, out to dinner, or dressed for a party. It is light enough at roughly 3.2g to disappear into all-day wear yet bright enough to register the moment you move. Specs: 1.38ct DEW total moissanite, DEF / VVS, RI 2.65, 9.25 Mohs, white- or rose-gold-plated 925 sterling silver, adjustable cable chain.
