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 Halo Stud Earrings | Round, 925 Silver

About This Product

These halo stud earrings put a round brilliant-cut moissanite at the center of each stud, then ring it with a pavé halo of small accent stones to widen the face and lift the sparkle. The result reads larger on the lobe than the center stone alone, which is why halo studs are the go-to when you want presence without an oversized solitaire. The center moissanite is graded DEF colorless with VVS clarity, so there is no warm tint against the white metal. Its refractive index of 2.65 sits above diamond's 2.42, giving the high-contrast, fiery flashes you can see scattered through the facets in the photo. At 9.25 on the Mohs scale it shrugs off everyday wear, and the four-prong basket holds each stone secure for daily use. The setting is 925 sterling silver finished in white gold plating, with a pavé-set halo and a push-back closure that you can see in the bright, even white tone of the metal. Choose 1ct DEW (6.5mm) per earring for a balanced everyday stud, or 0.5ct DEW (5mm) for a more discreet sparkle close to the lobe. Note moissanite is sized by Diamond Equivalent Weight, so the millimetre face is the number that matters, not the carat label. Stylist take: round halo studs are the most forgiving earring shape — they sit flush, frame any face, and pair as easily with a t-shirt as with bridal. They are a clean second-piercing or everyday pair. Specs: center round brilliant moissanite, DEF / VVS, RI 2.65, 9.25 Mohs; pavé halo accents; 925 sterling silver, white gold plated; push-back; 1ct DEW (6.5mm) or 0.5ct DEW (5mm) per earring.
