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 Moissanite Halo Drop Earrings - 2ct DEW

About This Product

A rectangular emerald-cut moissanite drops from a slim pave huggie, framed by a single round-brilliant halo that throws far more fire than the step cut alone. The long, open facets of the emerald cut read crisp and architectural, an Art Deco silhouette scaled for everyday wear rather than the jewelry box. Each drop hangs free on a small jump ring, so it sways and catches light with movement instead of sitting flat against the lobe. The proof is in the numbers. Moissanite carries a refractive index of 2.65 versus a diamond's 2.42, which is why the halo of small round accents sparkles harder than its size suggests, and why a clean step cut like this still flashes. The center stones are graded DEF colorless with VVS clarity, so they face up icy white with no warm tint, and at 9.25 on the Mohs scale they shrug off daily knocks far better than the cubic zirconia found in costume drops. Styling note: because the emerald cut is a step cut, it rewards good lighting and a clean setting. The halo here does double duty, adding the brilliance the cut withholds while keeping the rectangle's tailored lines intact. They read dressy enough for a wedding or party yet restrained enough for the office. The hinged huggie closes snug and secure, so the drop stays oriented forward all day. Set in 925 sterling silver finished in bright rhodium-tone white (also offered in rose gold), with a pave-lined huggie and a tiny accent cluster bridging hoop to halo. Specs: emerald-cut moissanite, ~5x7mm / 2ct DEW per earring, DEF colorless, VVS clarity, refractive index 2.65, 9.25 Mohs, halo and pave accents, 925 sterling silver, hinged huggie.
