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.

Floating Halo Moissanite Necklace | 0.5ct DEW Pendant

About This Product

A round-brilliant moissanite floats at the heart of a sparkling pavé halo, catching light from a wider arc than a plain solitaire and reading visibly larger than its 0.5ct DEW (5mm) center stone. The open setting suspends the gem inside the halo ring, so light passes behind it and the stone appears to hover rather than sit flush against the metal. It is the kind of detail that draws a second look without announcing itself. The center moissanite is DEF colorless with VVS clarity, and its 2.65 refractive index (against a diamond's 2.42) is what drives the extra fire you see flashing across the table as you move. At 9.25 on the Mohs scale it shrugs off the everyday scratches that dull softer stones, so this is a piece you can actually wear daily rather than reserve for occasions. The halo of small accent stones rings the center in a continuous circle, and the rhodium-plated 925 sterling silver four-prong head holds the center secure while leaving the pavé fully open to the light. The bright-white rhodium finish keeps the whole pendant cool-toned and tarnish-resistant. Styling note: a haloed round at 5mm sits in the sweet spot for layering. Worn alone on the included cable chain it lands as a clean everyday focal point; stacked under a longer pendant it adds the close-to-the-collarbone sparkle that anchors a two-strand layer without competing for attention. The halo reads dressy enough for evening yet restrained enough for the office, which is why a haloed solitaire is the necklace most people reach for first. Specs: 0.5ct DEW (5mm) round-brilliant moissanite center, DEF color, VVS clarity, refractive index 2.65, 9.25 Mohs; pavé halo; rhodium-plated 925 sterling silver; cable chain.
