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 | 925 Silver 5-Stone

About This Product

Reach for these moissanite huggie hoop earrings when you want sparkle that hugs the lobe without the weight of a drop. Each small hoop carries a graduated line of five round-brilliant moissanite stones, shared-prong set across the front of the band so light passes between every stone for an uninterrupted run of fire that follows the curve of the hoop. The brilliance is measurable, not marketing: moissanite has a refractive index of 2.65 versus a diamond’s 2.42, so these DEF colorless, VVS-clarity stones return more visible fire than a diamond of the same size. At 9.25 on the Mohs scale the stones resist the scratching and clouding that dull cubic zirconia within months of daily wear. The 925 stamp is struck into the inner band (visible in the photo), and the rhodium-plated white finish keeps the silver bright and tarnish-resistant. Stylist take: a five-stone huggie reads more refined than a plain metal hoop and far more wearable than a stud for a second or third piercing — worn alone it is an everyday earring, stacked up the ear it builds a curated sparkle line that catches light from every angle. The hinged latch back snaps flush to the lobe, so there is no dangling post to catch on hair or scarves. Also offered in 18K yellow gold and rose gold plating over the same sterling base. Specs: 5× round-cut moissanite per hoop, ~3mm each (1ct DEW total per earring) · DEF color · VVS clarity · RI 2.65 · 9.25 Mohs · 925 sterling silver, rhodium / 18K gold / rose gold plating · hinged huggie latch back.
