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.

Emerald-Cut Floating Moissanite Necklace | Illusion Set

About This Product

A single emerald-cut moissanite hovers at the base of the throat, suspended on a clear, near-invisible line so the stone appears to float against bare skin with nothing visibly holding it. The step-cut emerald shape trades the fiery scintillation of a brilliant cut for long, mirror-like flashes and architectural clarity, the kind of quiet sparkle that reads as confident rather than loud. Because moissanite carries a refractive index of 2.65 against a diamond's 2.42, those flat planes throw noticeably more light, and at 9.25 on the Mohs scale the stone shrugs off the daily knocks of an everyday piece. The center is DEF near-colorless with VVS clarity, prong-set in a slim open-back basket of 925 sterling silver. The lobster clasp, extension chain and a small signature heart charm are the same rhodium-finished sterling, while the transparent line itself disappears against the skin so the illusion-set look stays clean from any angle. Choose your stone weight by presence: 1.0ct sits at roughly 6.5mm for a barely-there everyday whisper, 2.0ct reaches about 8mm for a clear focal point, and 3.0ct lands near 9.5mm when you want the floating stone to do the talking. Styling note: the illusion line keeps the neckline weightless, so this layers beautifully under an open collar or over a fine knit without the visual clutter of a metal chain, and it photographs as if the gem is set directly on the collarbone. An adjustable extender lets it ride higher or settle lower with the day's neckline. Spec: emerald-cut moissanite, DEF / VVS, 1.0-3.0 DEW, 925 sterling silver, rhodium finish, adjustable illusion-line necklace.
