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.

Four-Prong Drop Moissanite Huggie Earrings | Pavé Hoop

About This Product

Two earrings, two ways to sparkle. A snug hinged hoop traces the lobe in a single row of pave-set round moissanite, then a free-swinging round drop hangs below in an open four-prong basket so light floods the stone from every side. The drop measures 5.0mm across (about 0.5ct DEW each), the diameter chosen so it reads as a clear, deliberate accent rather than a heavy chandelier. Because moissanite carries a refractive index of 2.65 against a diamond's 2.42, that lower 5.0mm drop throws noticeably more rainbow fire than an equivalent diamond, and at 9.25 on the Mohs scale it brushes off the knocks of daily wear. Stones are cut to DEF colorless and VVS clarity, set into 925 sterling silver with a slim 13.5mm by 1.5mm hoop and a secure click-shut hinge that sits flat to the ear. Styling take: this is the rare huggie that works backwards and forwards. Worn alone it's an everyday hoop with a little motion; stacked above a second or third piercing it lets the drop do the talking while the pave hoop frames it. The hinged closure means no fiddly butterfly backs and no lost stones at the gym or in the shower. Choose white gold plating for an icy cool-white finish, or rose and yellow for a warmer cast against the colorless stones. A grab-and-go pair that still photographs like fine jewelry. Specs: 5.0mm round drop (~0.5ct DEW each) + pave hoop, DEF color, VVS clarity, RI 2.65, 9.25 Mohs, 925 sterling silver, 13.5mm x 1.5mm hinged huggie.
