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 Stud Earrings | 925 Silver

About This Product

A horseshoe charm reimagined as an everyday stud: an open U-shaped arc of graduated round moissanite, each stone individually prong-set so it stands free and catches light from its own facets. The curve hugs the lobe and lifts up the ear like a small crescent of light rather than sitting flat — playful, a little vintage, and refined enough to layer with other studs or wear solo. Because the stones are prong-set rather than channel-locked, light wraps every facet, and moissanite's refractive index of 2.65 (against a diamond's 2.42) drives noticeably more fire than a same-size diamond arc would. The graduation — larger stones at the crown of the arc tapering toward the tips — keeps the line reading as a deliberate horseshoe rather than a plain curved bar. Each earring carries roughly 0.6ct DEW of round-cut moissanite (around 2mm per stone), all DEF colorless and VVS clarity, so the row stays bright and eye-clean from across a room. The bodies are 925 sterling silver finished in 18K white-gold (rhodium) plating for a cool, mirror-bright tone that won't compete with the stones. Friction posts with silicone-cushion backs keep them secure through a full day. Styling note: the asymmetric upward sweep flatters most ear shapes and pairs especially well with a single high helix or huggie for a curated stack. At 9.25 on the Mohs scale moissanite shrugs off the daily knocks that scratch softer simulants, making this a true wear-anywhere pair. Specs: 0.6ct DEW per earring, ~2mm round moissanite, DEF / VVS, refractive index 2.65, 9.25 Mohs, 925 sterling silver with 18K white-gold plating, friction post.
