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 Pavé Disc

About This Product

Personalize with a quiet bit of sparkle: this round disc pendant frames a pavé letter Q at its center, encircled by a halo of micro-set round moissanite. The double-row layout - an outer pavé ring around an inner pavé initial - gives the small pendant real presence, with light bouncing between the two bands of stones. Moissanite's 2.65 refractive index outshines a diamond's 2.42, so even these tiny accent stones return a lively, fiery flash rather than a flat shimmer. Stones are DEF colorless with VVS clarity, set into 925 sterling silver finished in a warm rose gold tone, and the pendant rides on a matching rose gold cable chain. The looping tail of the Q is clearly defined in the pavé work, distinguishing it from a plain O. Spec block: Stone - Moissanite; Cut - Round; Color - DEF colorless; Clarity - VVS; Metal - 925 Sterling Silver; Plating - Rose gold tone; Setting - Pavé disc with pavé initial. At 9.25 on the Mohs scale the moissanite shrugs off daily knocks, making this an everyday-friendly initial piece. Styling tip: it layers beautifully with a longer plain chain or a second initial for a couple's or family stack, and the rose gold tone flatters warm and neutral skin tones alike. Care is easy - wipe the disc with a soft cloth to clear oils that dull pavé, store it in a pouch away from abrasive jewelry, and avoid perfume and chlorine contact to protect the rose finish. A sweet, giftable monogram that wears as well solo as it does layered.
