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.

Marquise Moissanite Solitaire Necklace – 1ct DEW

About This Product

A single marquise-cut moissanite hangs point-up from a slim snake chain, gripped at its two tips by sharp V-prongs that all but disappear, so the stone reads as a floating sliver of light against the collarbone. The marquise is the most elongating of the fancy shapes: its 57 facets run the full length of the stone, drawing the eye vertically and lengthening the neckline. Because moissanite has a refractive index of 2.65 against a diamond's 2.42, that long axis throws noticeably more fire down its center than a comparable diamond would, an effect that turns sharpest under evening and candlelight. The center is graded DEF colorless with VVS clarity, so there is no tint and no visible inclusion at arm's length, and at 9.25 on the Mohs scale the surface resists the scratches and clouding that dull softer stones over years of daily wear. At 1ct DEW the stone measures roughly 10x5mm, large enough to register across a room yet light enough for everyday layering. The minimal two-prong mount keeps the setting from competing with the stone, which is why this piece styles as easily under an open collar as it does solo against bare skin. Choose white gold plating for a cool, contemporary finish or 18K yellow gold for the warmer tone shown here. Built on 925 sterling silver and strung on a 40cm chain, it is a quiet, versatile everyday solitaire rather than a statement piece. Specs: marquise moissanite, 1ct DEW (~10x5mm), DEF colorless, VVS clarity, refractive index 2.65, 9.25 Mohs; 925 sterling silver, white or 18K yellow gold plating; 40cm snake chain.
