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.

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 Open Heart Pendant – 2ct DEW Silver

About This Product

A floating open-heart silhouette cradles a single round brilliant moissanite at its base, the stone tucked into the lower curve where a tiny "love" script wraps the prong — an asymmetric, modern take on the love pendant that reads as movement rather than a static symbol. The round cut is the workhorse here: 57 facets bend more light back to the eye than any fancy shape, so a 2ct DEW (8mm) stone throws fire visible across a room. That brilliance is physics, not marketing — moissanite's refractive index is 2.65 versus a diamond's 2.42, which is why the sparkle skews toward rainbow flashes under direct light. The moissanite grades DEF colorless and VVS clarity, set in a single-prong, open-frame design on 925 sterling silver finished in white gold plating for a bright, rhodium-like white that won't read yellow against the stone. Styling note: because the heart is an open outline and the stone sits low and slightly off-center, this layers cleanly over a higher choker or a longer chain without the two competing — the negative space inside the heart keeps it from looking heavy on a fine neckline. At 9.25 Mohs it shrugs off the daily knocks a pendant takes against zippers and collars, so it's an everyday piece, not a special-occasion-only one. Lab-grown, conflict-free, and a fraction of a mined diamond's cost for the same face-up size. A clean Valentine's, anniversary, or birthday gift that doesn't lean cliché.
