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 3ct Starburst Halo Moissanite Necklace

About This Product

A 3ct DEW emerald-cut moissanite (about 9x7mm) anchors this pendant, its long step-cut facets pulling the eye down clean parallel hall-of-mirrors lines rather than scattering fire the way a brilliant cut does. Encircling it, a starburst halo of round accents fans outward in graduated points, throwing a frame of bright sparkle that makes the rectangular center read larger on the neck. The whole pendant hangs from a polished bail on a fine cable chain. Cut from DEF colorless, VVS clarity moissanite, the center carries a 2.65 refractive index versus a diamond's 2.42, so it returns noticeably more light under everyday lighting, and at 9.25 on the Mohs scale it shrugs off the daily knocks a pendant takes. The setting is 925 sterling silver plated in cool white rhodium, a tone chosen to keep the stone icy rather than warm. Stylist take: the emerald cut plus sunburst halo is a deliberately vintage, art-deco-leaning silhouette, so it sits best against an open neckline or a crew collar where the geometry can breathe; pair it with matching emerald-cut studs for a red-carpet look, or wear it solo as a clean statement. The step cut shows its center most honestly, so this is a stone you want clean: a quick wipe with a soft cloth keeps the table clear. A genuinely dressy piece that still works for office and daytime wear. Specs: 3ct DEW (~9x7mm) emerald-cut center, round starburst halo, DEF/VVS moissanite, RI 2.65, 9.25 Mohs, 925 sterling silver, white rhodium plating.
