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 Marquise Butterfly Stud Earrings | Gold Finish

About This Product

These butterfly studs catch the eye with a single marquise-cut moissanite forming one upraised wing, its pointed-oval facets throwing more fire than a diamond can. Each earring pairs that brilliant stone with three sculpted wings of polished metal: an open wire-drawn upper wing that frames the moissanite, a solid mirror-finish lower wing, and a looped open petal that keeps the silhouette light and asymmetric. The effect is delicate but deliberate, a butterfly mid-flutter rather than a flat charm. The proof is in the optics. Moissanite carries a 2.65 refractive index against a diamond's 2.42, so the marquise reads brighter under everyday light, and at 9.25 on the Mohs scale it resists the scratches and clouding that dull cheaper stones. The gems are graded DEF colorless with VVS clarity, so each wing stays icy-white with no visible inclusions. Built on 925 sterling silver with an 18K yellow gold finish, the warm metal flatters most skin tones and the studs sit close on the lobe for all-day comfort. Styling note: marquise stones elongate visually, so these read taller than a round stud and give a small lobe a lifted, awake look. Wear them solo for the office or stack them above a hoop for a curated ear. They suit a birthday, a bridesmaid gift, or an everyday treat. Each marquise is roughly 0.5ct DEW (about 5mm equivalent) per earring. Specs: marquise-cut moissanite, DEF color, VVS clarity, ~0.5ct DEW per stud, 925 sterling silver with 18K yellow gold finish, push-back posts.
