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.

East-West Emerald-Cut Solitaire Moissanite Necklace

About This Product

There is something quietly confident about a single emerald-cut stone turned on its side. This necklace sets a substantial 5ct+ DEW Moissanite (roughly 11 x 9 mm) east-west across the throat, held in a slim four-prong basket so the elongated step-cut does the talking. Because Moissanite carries a 2.65 refractive index against a diamond's 2.42, the long parallel facets throw cool, glassy flashes rather than scattered sparkle — the signature "hall of mirrors" look that the emerald cut was made for. DEF colorless grading keeps the body water-clear, and VVS clarity matters here: the open table of a step cut hides nothing, so an eye-clean grade is what lets the stone read crisp and deep instead of cloudy. The horizontal orientation is the styling trick — it makes the stone span wider and sit more modern than a classic vertical drop, and it follows the line of the collarbone instead of fighting it. A fine cable chain keeps all the attention on the center and layers easily under a shorter choker or over an open collar. Stylist note: this is the piece that turns a plain white tee and blazer into something deliberate, and it reads equally at home with bridal whites, whether worn solo or layered for contrast. Built on 925 sterling silver with an 18K white-gold plating for a bright, rhodium-cool finish that resists yellowing. Adjustable cable chain included. Specs: 5ct+ DEW emerald-cut Moissanite, DEF color, VVS clarity, refractive index 2.65, 9.25 Mohs hardness; four-prong basket; 18K white-gold-plated 925 sterling silver; cable chain included.
