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.

Moissanite Stud Earrings | Round 4-Prong 925 Silver

About This Product

Round brilliant moissanite studs that read like classic diamonds but outshine them: a refractive index of 2.65 (vs 2.42 for diamond) drives more fire and brighter light return, while a 9.25 Mohs hardness keeps the facets crisp through years of daily wear. Each stud holds a single round brilliant-cut moissanite gripped by a four-prong (claw) basket. The open setting lets light enter from the sides as well as the table, so the stone face-up looks larger than its carat weight suggests and sparkles from every angle. Stones are DEF colorless and VVS clarity — eye-clean and bright white, with no warm tint against the metal. The 925 sterling silver settings are rhodium/white-gold plated for a cool, mirror-bright finish that matches the moissanite's icy white and resists tarnish better than bare silver. Stylist note: a four-prong round solitaire is the most versatile stud you can own. Worn alone it reads as a polished everyday classic that suits the office, denim, or a wedding; in a stacked second piercing it carries formal looks without competing with a statement necklace. Push-back posts with clear silicone-disc backings sit flush against the lobe and hold securely for all-day wear. Choose 0.5ct DEW (5mm) per earring for a delicate everyday sparkle, or 1ct DEW (6.5mm) per earring for a fuller, more visible solitaire. Moissanite carat is measured as Diamond Equivalent Weight (DEW), so each size is sold by its true face-up millimeter spread rather than raw mass. Specs: round brilliant moissanite, DEF color, VVS clarity, RI 2.65, 9.25 Mohs; 0.5ct DEW (5mm) or 1ct DEW (6.5mm) per earring; four-prong setting; 925 sterling silver, white-gold/rhodium plated; push-back posts.
