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.

Gourd Dancing Moissanite Pendant – 1ct DEW (6.5mm)

About This Product

This dancing moissanite pendant suspends a round-cut center inside an open calabash, or gourd-shaped, frame so the stone floats on a hidden spring and flickers with every breath you take. That motion is the point: instead of sitting flush, the center swings inside its setting and catches light from new angles all day, multiplying the flashes you would get from a static stone. The gourd silhouette gives it a soft, talisman feel, while the look stays modern and wearable on a fine cable chain. The center is genuine moissanite, not crystal or cubic zirconia: graded DEF colorless with VVS clarity, it carries a refractive index of 2.65 against a diamond's 2.42, so it returns measurably more fire. At a 1ct DEW it measures about 6.5mm across — a confident but everyday size that reads instantly across a room. The open gourd frame and the inner loop that cradles the stone are traced in a fine sweep of pave accents, adding a continuous line of sparkle around the silhouette without crowding the dancing center. Built on rhodium / white-gold-plated 925 sterling silver with a 9.25 Mohs hardness, the moissanite shrugs off daily wear and the silver keeps it light on the neck. Stylist take: this is the necklace to layer at a slightly longer length over a higher, daintier chain, or to wear solo against a scoop or V-neck where the gourd shape has room to read. It moves to a wedding or party as easily as it does to the office. Specs: 1ct DEW (6.5mm) round moissanite center, DEF / VVS, RI 2.65, pave accents, white-gold-plated 925 sterling silver, cable chain.
