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.

Spiral Moissanite Stud Earrings | 0.5ct DEW 925 Silver

About This Product

These Minimalist Spiral Moissanite Stud Earrings frame a round brilliant-cut moissanite inside an open swirl of polished sterling silver, so the stone reads larger than its footprint while the spiral catches light from every turn. Each earring carries a 0.5ct DEW (5mm) stone held in a secure four-prong basket, the loops sweeping outward like the petals of a knotted rose, set against a softly textured backing that adds depth without weight. The proof is in the stone. Moissanite refracts at 2.65 against a diamond's 2.42, so the fire and brilliance you see here exceed a same-size diamond. Graded DEF colorless and VVS clarity, the moissanite stays eye-clean and bright white, with a 9.25 Mohs hardness that resists daily scratching. The interlocking spiral frame is cast in 925 sterling silver and finished in white gold plating for a cool, mirror-like luster that complements the gem's icy sparkle. Expert take: a 5mm pinwheel stud sits flat against the lobe and works as an everyday anchor — pair it with a hoop in a second piercing, or wear it solo with an open neckline so the swirl reads as motion, not bulk. The recessed loops also shield the girdle of the stone, which makes this a sturdier choice than a bare solitaire stud for hair, scarves and sweaters, and an easy gift for a first moissanite piece. Specs: 0.5ct DEW (5mm) round brilliant moissanite per earring | DEF colorless, VVS clarity | refractive index 2.65 | 9.25 Mohs | 925 sterling silver, white gold plated | four-prong setting, push-back posts.
