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.

Initial D Lariat Moissanite Necklace with Roman Disc

About This Product

This lariat necklace turns a single initial into an editorial statement: a sculptural letter-D motif anchors the front, while a slender Y-drop falls to an open Roman-numeral disc cradling one round moissanite that sways and sparks with every step. The stone is graded DEF colorless with VVS clarity, and its 2.65 refractive index throws noticeably more fire than a diamond's 2.42, so even this petite center (about 0.25ct DEW, roughly 4mm) reads bright against the openwork disc. The vertical bar of the D is lined with micro-pave accents that catch light along the collarbone, and the rolo chain is broken up by a small openwork bar link and a polished ring station for a layered, just-stacked look. At a 9.25 Mohs hardness, moissanite resists the daily scratches that dull softer stones, so the disc keeps its mirror finish through everyday wear. Styling note: the adjustable Y-drop is the whole point here. Worn long it elongates a simple crew-neck or open collar; cinched shorter it sits like a delicate choker-length pendant. It layers cleanly over a second fine chain because the D and the disc sit at different depths, so nothing tangles. The personalized letter and clean Roman-numeral disc make it an easy birthday, anniversary, or graduation gift that still feels modern rather than sentimental. Set in 925 sterling silver with your choice of 18K white gold or 18K rose gold plating, it pairs as naturally with workwear as with a party dress. Specs: round moissanite, DEF / VVS, ~0.25ct DEW (~4mm); 925 sterling silver; 18K white or rose gold plating; adjustable lariat Y-necklace.
