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.

Dancing Moissanite Pendant Necklace | 0.5ct 5mm Silver

About This Product

A 5mm round-brilliant moissanite floats in a tension-style dancing setting at the centre of this pendant, so the stone shimmers and catches light with every movement instead of sitting locked flat against the metal. It is framed by a segmented geometric halo of polished sterling silver, with small pave accents set into the angled joints that scatter extra fire around the floating centre stone. Up close the centre stone reads as a true colourless solitaire: DEF colour grade, VVS clarity, and a 2.65 refractive index that returns noticeably more brightness and fire than a 2.42 diamond of the same size. At 9.25 on the Mohs scale it shrugs off daily scratching, and the rhodium-plated 925 sterling silver frame and matching cable chain stay bright white without yellowing or tarnishing over time. Stylist take: a 0.5ct DEW (5mm) stone is the sweet spot for a pendant you actually wear every day — large enough to sparkle at the collarbone, small enough to sit clean under a shirt collar or to layer above a longer chain. The dancing mount means it never looks static in photos or under restaurant lighting, which is why this style outperforms a plain bezel solitaire for gifting. It arrives ready to wear on a matching adjustable cable chain, equally suited to office and evening wear. The geometric octagonal halo gives it more presence than a single floating stone while keeping the overall silhouette compact, balanced, and modern.
