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.

U-Shaped Moissanite Huggie Hoops

About This Product

Petite enough for a second piercing yet bright enough to catch light across a room, these U-shaped huggie hoops trace a slim horseshoe of single-row pave moissanite around the front of the ear. The lab-grown stones carry a refractive index of 2.65 against a mined diamond's 2.42, so the row reads as continuous fire rather than a line of dull chips. A hinged snap closure sits flush behind the lobe for all-day comfort, and the back of each hoop is stamped S925 for the sterling base. Built on 925 sterling silver and offered in three plated finishes, the pair lets you match your existing stack: 18K yellow gold for warmth, white gold for a cool diamond-look, or rose gold for a softer blush. The pave channel is bead-set so each round moissanite is held by tiny shared prongs, a setting that hides metal and maximises sparkle on a small surface. At 9.25 Mohs the stones shrug off the daily knocks a frequently worn huggie takes. Stone: Moissanite (lab-grown) | Cut: Round Brilliant | Color: DEF colorless | Clarity: VVS | Metal: 925 Sterling Silver | Plating: 18K Gold / White Gold / Rose Gold | Setting: Pave (single row) | Closure: Hinged huggie. Styling note: because the carat weight quoted on moissanite earrings is per earring, a pair like this delivers double the DEW across the two lobes for a fuller look than the single number suggests. Wear them solo as a clean everyday hoop, or pair with a small stud higher up for an easy curated ear. A soft polish cloth keeps the plating bright; remove before swimming to protect the finish.
