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 Moissanite Illusion Necklace – 2ct DEW (8mm)

About This Product

A single round-brilliant moissanite appears to float at the base of the throat with no visible chain holding it — the classic illusion-pendant trick that puts every facet of fire on display. The stone is suspended on a clear transparent monofilament cord and gripped by a discreet two-prong setting, so from a step away all the eye registers is sparkle hovering against the skin. It is the most minimal way to wear a real solitaire. The illusion only works because the stone earns its keep: cut at 2ct DEW the moissanite measures about 8mm across, graded DEF colorless and VVS clarity, with a refractive index of 2.65 against a diamond's 2.42 — that higher index is what gives moissanite its signature rainbow flash, exaggerated here by the absence of any metal cup or halo to mute it. The setting and bail are white gold-plated 925 sterling silver, and the cord finishes with an adjustable 40+5cm clasp so it sits as a short pendant or a slightly longer drop. Styling note: because nothing else competes for attention, this reads best on a bare neckline — a scoop tee, an open collar, or a strapless dress — and layers cleanly under a heavier chain when you want contrast. It is an easy everyday piece that still photographs like a gift. At 9.25 on the Mohs scale the stone shrugs off daily wear; wipe the cord clean and store flat to keep it invisible.
