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 Q Moissanite Necklace | Rose Gold Pave Disc

About This Product

Rather than a cutout, this disc reads as an open rose gold ring lined with a pave halo of moissanite, with a small pave-set Q resting at its center - tail and all - so the letter sparkles in its own right. It is a slightly more dimensional take on the initial pendant: the negative space inside the ring frames the floating Q and makes the design feel airier than a solid coin. Moissanite carries the brilliance: a 2.65 refractive index edges past diamond's 2.42 for extra fire, while 9.25 Mohs hardness keeps the stones bright through everyday wear. Every round stone is DEF colorless (Stone Color White) at default VVS clarity, so both the halo and the central letter stay clean and white. The piece is built on 925 sterling silver with rose gold plating and hangs from a fine cable chain that sits at the collarbone. Spec block - Stone: Moissanite; Cut: round brilliant pave; Color: DEF colorless; Clarity: VVS; Metal: 925 sterling silver; Plating: rose gold; Setting: pave halo ring with pave-set initial. Styling note: the open-ring construction layers especially well - the see-through center keeps it light against a base chain or a longer pendant. As a gift it is personal and unfussy, and the rose tone flatters warm and neutral complexions. Care: polish gently with a soft cloth, keep away from perfume and lotion that dull plating, and store flat in a pouch so the open frame and chain stay scratch-free.
