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.

Horseshoe Moissanite Solitaire Necklace 1ct

About This Product

A single round moissanite sits cradled in a polished horseshoe, an open U-frame half-bezel that hugs the stone at the base and leaves the crown fully exposed to the light. That open setting is the whole point: with less metal touching the gem, more of the table catches fire than a closed bezel or four-prong head would allow, so the stone reads larger on the neck. Moissanite carries a refractive index of 2.65 against a diamond's 2.42, which is the measurable reason this pendant throws noticeably more rainbow flash under everyday room light. The center stone runs about 1.0ct DEW (roughly 6.5mm), grades DEF colorless and VVS clarity for a bright, icy white face, and at 9.25 on the Mohs scale it shrugs off the daily scuffs that dull softer simulants. The horseshoe frame and cable chain are 925 sterling silver finished in 18K white-gold plating for a cool, mirror-bright tone that keeps the focus on the stone. Styling take: the lucky-horseshoe motif is small enough to layer, so wear it solo on a 16-18 inch chain as a daytime everyday piece, then stack it above a longer pendant or a thin station chain for a graduated neckline. It sits well against both crewnecks and open collars, and the symbolism makes it an easy birthday or anniversary gift that does not feel fussy. The open-base setting also means light reaches the pavilion from below, so the sparkle holds up indoors, not just in direct sun. Specs: 1.0ct DEW (~6.5mm) round moissanite, DEF color, VVS clarity, RI 2.65, 9.25 Mohs; 925 sterling silver with 18K white-gold plating; horseshoe half-bezel pendant on a cable chain.
