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 Huggie Hoop Earrings | Round Solitaire Silver

About This Product

These moissanite huggie hoops put one round brilliant solitaire on each ear, raised in a four-prong basket setting on a slim hinged hoop that snaps flush to the lobe. Round brilliant moissanite carries a 2.65 refractive index against a diamond's 2.42, so each stone throws more fire and returns light cleanly from every angle the four open prongs leave exposed. The metal is 925 sterling silver finished in rhodium/white-gold plating, the same cool white tone shown in the photo, and the hinged snap closure hugs the lobe without a separate backing to lose or replace. Choose by carat per earring: 1ct reads as roughly 6.5mm across, a confident solitaire that still sits close to the ear; 0.5ct comes in near 5mm for an everyday sparkle that layers easily. Because moissanite is graded in DEW (diamond equivalent weight), these mm figures are the honest on-ear footprint, not a flattering diamond carat conversion. Styling note: a round four-prong solitaire is the most forgiving hoop shape to mirror elsewhere on the ear, so the 0.5ct pair sits neatly under a second piercing while the 1ct stands alone as the lobe statement next to a cuff or climber. The DEF colorless grade keeps the white plating from casting any warm tint, and at 9.25 on the Mohs scale the stone resists the surface scuffs that leave cubic zirconia cloudy within months of daily wear. Specs: DEF colorless, VVS clarity, 9.25 Mohs, refractive index 2.65; round brilliant cut; four-prong setting; 925 sterling silver, rhodium/white-gold plated; hinged huggie hoop; 0.5ct (~5mm) or 1ct (~6.5mm) DEW per earring.
