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 Teardrop Eye Pendant | 0.5ct 925 Silver

About This Product

An open teardrop frame gives this 925 sterling silver pendant its distinctive eye-like silhouette, with a 0.5ct DEW round-cut moissanite (about 5mm) suspended low in the drop so it sways and sparkles with movement. The negative space inside the wishbone-shaped frame keeps the design airy and modern rather than heavy, while a cluster of three small accent stones crowns the bail and a curved row of accents arcs across the base of the drop, cradling the center stone like a smile. It is a dainty everyday piece that still photographs as something special. The sparkle is the point, and it is measurable: moissanite's refractive index of 2.65 exceeds diamond's 2.42, so the round brilliant facets return more fire and brightness, and a 9.25 Mohs hardness means the polish holds up to daily wear. The center stone is DEF colorless (Stone Color White) at VVS clarity, set in bright rhodium-finished sterling on a delicate cable chain. Spec block: Stone: Moissanite; Cut: Round brilliant; Size: 0.5ct DEW (about 5mm); Color: DEF colorless; Clarity: VVS; Metal: 925 sterling silver; Setting: Four-prong center in an open teardrop frame with accent stones. Styling note: the drop shape elongates the neckline, making this a flattering solo pendant on a 16-18in chain or the lowest layer in a stacked look. Care is straightforward: keep it stored apart from harder stones, wipe with a soft cloth after wear, and remove it before showering or applying lotion and fragrance so the silver stays bright.
