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.

Crescent Moon & Star Pavé Moissanite Necklace

About This Product

Reach for a little celestial sparkle every day. This crescent moon pendant curves into a slim sterling-silver arc set edge-to-edge with pavé moissanite, while a small pavé star charm swings freely from the moon's inner tip, catching light with every step. Because moissanite carries a 2.65 refractive index versus a diamond's 2.42, each tiny round stone returns more fire than its size suggests, so the whole motif reads as continuous shimmer rather than a row of separate points. The gems are graded D-E-F colorless with VVS clarity, so there's no warm tint or visible inclusion to dull the brightness, and at 9.25 on the Mohs scale the surface shrugs off the everyday scuffs that fog softer stones. The piece is built on 925 sterling silver and finished in your choice of 18K white gold or 18K rose gold plating, then strung on a delicate cable chain that's light enough to layer beneath a longer pendant or wear on its own at the collarbone. Stylist's take: the dangling star adds a flicker of movement that a fixed charm can't, which is why this works as well over a crew-neck sweater as it does against bare skin in summer — pair it with small huggie hoops for a clean, modern stack. The compact total carat (under 0.5ct DEW, roughly 5mm of pavé coverage) keeps it dainty rather than flashy, ideal as a birthday or anniversary gift for anyone drawn to moon-and-star symbolism. Specs: 925 sterling silver, 18K white or rose gold plating, D-E-F colorless / VVS round-cut moissanite, refractive index 2.65, 9.25 Mohs, under 0.5ct DEW total, cable chain.
