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.

Moissanite Bezel Bead-Chain Lariat Necklace

About This Product

Lengthen your neckline with a lariat that moves like liquid gold. A continuous run of polished round beads traces the collarbone, then dips into a slender Y-drop that draws the eye downward and elongates the upper body, a styling trick that flatters open and V-necklines especially well. At the junction sits a single round-brilliant moissanite (0.5ct DEW, 5mm) cradled in a smooth bezel, so the stone is protected and snag-free yet still catches light from every angle without a prong interrupting the line. The gem is DEF colorless and VVS clarity, with a 2.65 refractive index that throws more fire than a diamond's 2.42, and a 9.25 Mohs hardness that keeps it bright through daily wear. The bead chain is 925 sterling silver finished in 18K yellow gold plating, and it terminates in a lobster clasp at the tip of the drop, so you can wear it as a fixed Y-lariat or adjust how low the drop falls. Stylist take: this is the layering anchor of a necklace stack. Worn alone it reads quiet and modern; clasped over a crisp shirt or a slip dress it adds a single point of sparkle without competing with statement earrings. The warm gold tone and beaded texture skew dressed-up, but the scale stays everyday, so it transitions from desk to dinner without a second thought. A versatile gift for a birthday, anniversary, or just because. Specs: 0.5ct DEW (5mm) round moissanite, DEF / VVS, bezel set, 18K yellow-gold-plated 925 sterling silver bead chain, lobster clasp.
