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.

Dainty Open Heart Moissanite Pendant | 925 Silver

About This Product

Worn slightly tilted, this open-heart silhouette stays minimal: a smooth, polished silver outline with one inner edge set with a row of small round moissanite, so the sparkle catches only as the pendant turns. There is no large center stone here - the design is deliberately understated, which is exactly why it works as an everyday layering piece. The accent moissanite carries a 2.65 refractive index against a diamond's 2.42, so even at this small scale the stones throw more fire than a comparable cubic-zirconia accent line. They are graded DEF colorless (Stone Color White) at VVS clarity, keeping the pave bright and white rather than gray. Built on 925 sterling silver and rated 9.25 on the Mohs scale, the heart resists the daily knocks and scratches that wear down softer plated alloys. Spec block - Stone: Moissanite (pave accents along one edge); Cut: Excellent round; Color: DEF colorless; Clarity: VVS; Metal: 925 sterling silver; Plating: white / rose / 18K yellow gold (choose at checkout); Setting: channel-style pave on an open-heart outline; Chain: cable. Styling note: the small footprint makes this an easy first fine-jewelry gift or a quiet anniversary piece - it reads grown-up rather than novelty. The open, asymmetric tilt layers cleanly under a longer pendant without tangling, and sits neatly at the collarbone on a 16-18 inch chain on its own. To keep it bright, wipe the polished silver with a soft cloth after wear, avoid lotion and perfume directly on the metal, and store it flat so the open frame holds its shape. Rose gold flatters warm tones, white gold keeps it crisp and modern, and yellow gold leans classic.
