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 Crossover X Huggie Hoop Earrings

About This Product

These crossover huggie hoops turn a simple lobe-hugging silhouette into something sculptural: two slender bands sweep up and cross into a crisp X at the front of each hoop. One band is pave-set with a single row of brilliant round moissanite, while the other is left as a high-shine gold ribbon, so light alternates between flashing stones and mirror metal as you move. The contrast reads as quietly modern rather than fussy, and the compact hinged form keeps everything tight to the ear. On proof: moissanite carries a refractive index of 2.65 against a diamond's 2.42, which is why even this slim line of small accents throws noticeably more fire than its size suggests. The stones are graded D-E-F colorless with VVS clarity, and at 9.25 on the Mohs scale they shrug off daily wear without clouding or scratching. Built on 925 sterling silver under 18K yellow-gold plating, the hoops stay lightweight (about 4.8g the pair) and click shut on a secure hinged post, so they sit snugly without the droop or swing of a larger hoop. Expert take: huggies like these are the easiest sparkle to live in -- wear them solo for a clean everyday flash, or stack them up a second and third piercing where the crossing X lines repeat into a graphic ladder. The warm gold tone flatters most skin and pairs cleanly with both silver and gold elsewhere in a stack. A versatile, low-maintenance hoop that earns its place in daily rotation. Specs: round-cut moissanite, 0.44ct DEW total pair (approx. 0.22ct DEW per earring); D-E-F color; VVS clarity; 9.25 Mohs; 925 sterling silver, 18K yellow-gold plating; hinged huggie; approx. 4.8g per pair.
