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 Oval Moissanite Solitaire Pendant

About This Product

An elongated 3.0ct DEW oval moissanite lies east-west across this pendant, turning a classic solitaire on its side for a wider, more modern line that reads instantly across the collarbone. The horizontal set makes the 10x8mm stone look larger than an upright oval of the same weight, so you get presence without bulk. Four slim double claws hold the center secure while leaving the pavilion open to catch light, and a pavé accent bar sits above and below the stone, framing it like a capsule and adding sparkle where the pendant meets the bail and chain. Moissanite earns that fire honestly: its 2.65 refractive index throws more visible flashes than a diamond's 2.42, and at 9.25 on the Mohs scale it shrugs off daily wear. Graded DEF colorless with VVS clarity, the oval stays crisp and bright rather than tinted or cloudy. The pendant and its cable chain are 925 sterling silver, offered with either bright rhodium plating for a cool white-gold look or warm 18K yellow-gold plating. Expert take: east-west settings are having a real moment because they suit open necklines and layer cleanly under a shirt collar without twisting; this one is understated enough for everyday and still holds its own dressed up. Wear it solo on the supplied chain or stack it over a shorter tennis or station necklace to build a graduated neckline. A quiet, contemporary alternative to the upright pear or round solitaire pendant. Specs: 3.0ct DEW (10x8mm) oval moissanite; DEF color, VVS clarity; RI 2.65; 9.25 Mohs; 925 sterling silver; rhodium or 18K gold plating; adjustable cable chain.
