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 Heart Moissanite Illusion Necklace

About This Product

A single heart-cut moissanite hovers at the base of the throat, held by a clear illusion cord so fine it disappears against the skin and the stone seems to float unsupported. The four-prong basket lifts the heart off the body, letting light enter from every facet rather than reflecting off a backing chain. With a refractive index of 2.65 against a diamond's 2.42, that exposure translates into noticeably more fire, and at D-E-F colorless grade with VVS clarity the stone reads bright white, never glassy or grey. Choose your scale: 1ct DEW (6.5mm), 2ct DEW (8mm), or a statement 3ct DEW (9.5mm) heart. The illusion cord is a monofilament line that vanishes at conversational distance, finished with a 925 sterling silver lobster clasp, a small sterling heart charm, and an adjustable extender so the drop sits exactly where you want it. The metalwork is rhodium-toned for a bright white-gold look that resists tarnish. Styling note: because the cord reads as invisible, this piece does the opposite of a heavy pendant - it works under an open collar or with a bare neckline where a visible chain would compete, and it layers cleanly beneath a longer pendant without tangling a second metal tone into the look. At 9.25 on the Mohs scale the moissanite shrugs off daily scratches, making this practical for everyday wear, not just occasions. A quiet, romantic piece that lets the heart speak for itself. Spec: heart-cut moissanite, 1ct/2ct/3ct DEW (6.5/8/9.5mm), D-E-F color, VVS clarity, RI 2.65, 9.25 Mohs; 925 sterling silver, rhodium-toned, illusion cord with adjustable extender.
