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 Open Star Stud Earrings

About This Product

Wear a wish on each ear. These open five-point star studs frame a single round-brilliant moissanite that floats prong-set in the heart of a high-polish gold star outline, so the negative space inside the silhouette keeps the look airy, youthful and easy to wear from desk to dinner. The lone center stone does the talking: with a refractive index of 2.65 it bends and scatters more light than a mined diamond at 2.42, throwing crisp rainbow fire even under flat office lighting. Each moissanite is graded D-E-F colorless and VVS clarity, so there is no warm tint or visible inclusion to dull the sparkle, and a 9.25 Mohs hardness means the facets stay sharp through daily knocks, gym bags and pillow-creased mornings. The star frame is cast in 925 sterling silver and plated in warm 18K yellow gold for a soft, golden-hour tone that flatters most skin tones. Styling take: because the motif is open rather than solid, these read as playful but never costume - pair them with a slim huggie or a delicate pendant for an easy everyday stack, or let them stand alone as a conversation starter. The carat weight is measured per earring (DEW), and the petite roughly 0.2ct DEW center stone (about 3.8mm) sits flush to the lobe on a secure friction post and butterfly back, light enough for second holes or all-day wear. A thoughtful little gift for a birthday, holiday or just because. Specs: center moissanite, round brilliant, ~0.2ct DEW (~3.8mm) per earring, D-E-F color, VVS clarity, RI 2.65, 9.25 Mohs; 925 sterling silver plated 18K yellow gold; friction-post studs.
