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 Pavé Huggie Hoop Earrings | 925 Silver

About This Product

These pavé huggie hoops hug close to the lobe so the click-top hinge sits flush and the earrings stay put through a full day, from desk to dinner. A single channel of round-cut moissanite runs along the front face of each oval hoop, throwing white fire that reads as fine jewellery at arm's length. The hinged snap-bar clasp closes with an audible click, so there is no fiddly butterfly back to lose. Each hoop is set with a row of small accent moissanite stones, graded DEF colorless and VVS clarity. Moissanite carries a 2.65 refractive index against a diamond's 2.42, which is why the pavé scintillates harder than cubic zirconia under the same light, and at 9.25 on the Mohs scale the surfaces resist the scuffs that dull softer stones over time. The band is solid 925 sterling silver finished in rhodium-toned white gold plating, hypoallergenic and nickel-safe for sensitive ears. The hoop measures roughly 15mm across with a slim profile, small enough to layer up a second piercing yet bright enough to wear solo. Stylist note: a pavé huggie is the most versatile hoop you can own. Worn alone it polishes a plain neckline; stacked above a larger plain hoop it builds an ear curation without looking busy. White-gold, rose-gold and yellow-gold finishes let you match an existing jewellery wardrobe rather than start a new one. Specs: DEF / VVS moissanite pavé · ~15mm oval huggie · 925 sterling silver, rhodium white-gold plating · hinged click-top clasp · refractive index 2.65 · 9.25 Mohs.
