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 Cross Huggie Drop Earrings

About This Product

A petite pavé cross swings from a smooth, click-shut huggie hoop, pairing everyday ease with a quiet devotional motif. Each cross is hand-set with a single file of round moissanite running the full length of both arms, so the piece catches light with every turn of your head while staying small and tasteful against the lobe. The stones read DEF colorless with VVS clarity, and moissanite's 2.65 refractive index throws noticeably more fire than a diamond's 2.42 — an outsized sparkle for such a dainty silhouette. At 9.25 on the Mohs scale the gems shrug off the scuffs of daily wear, so the pavé stays bright through gym sessions, showers, and back-to-back workdays. The hoop and cross are crafted in 925 sterling silver finished with 18K white gold plating for a cool, rhodium-white tone that won't yellow, and the hinged snap closure sits flush and secure so there's no fiddly post or loose back to lose. Styling note: because the cross dangles rather than studs flat, these flatter a second or third piercing beautifully — wear them solo for a clean look or stack them above a plain hoop for a layered ear without competing for attention. They sit close to the lobe, so they slide under a collar or scarf without snagging. A thoughtful pick for a confirmation, christening, or birthday, and easy enough to live in daily. Total stone weight stays under 0.5ct DEW of accent pavé per earring, keeping them feather-light at roughly 3g the pair. Specs: round pavé-set moissanite (DEF / VVS, <0.5ct DEW per earring), 925 sterling silver, 18K white gold plating, hinged huggie closure with cross drop.
