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 moissanite huggie hoops cluster mixed-size round brilliant stones across the front-facing arc, so the sparkle catches light from every angle while the snug hinged silhouette stays close to the lobe. Wear them solo for a clean everyday lift or stack them up a second piercing for a layered, lit-from-within look. Every stone is lab-grown moissanite graded DEF colorless and VVS clarity, prong-set in a staggered pavé cluster that scatters light instead of marching in a single rigid row. With a refractive index of 2.65 — higher than a diamond's 2.42 — the fire reads brighter under warm restaurant light, and at 9.25 on the Mohs scale the surface resists the daily scuffs that dull lesser stones. The back half of each hoop is left as plain high-polish metal, keeping the earring light enough for all-day comfort. Stylist take: huggies this size flatter a stacked ear because the gemstone front sits forward while the plain shank disappears against the lobe — pair the white-finish pair shown here with cooler silver or platinum pieces, or switch to the yellow- or rose-gold plating to warm up gold-heavy stacks. The total set carries roughly 0.5ct DEW of moissanite, with individual round accents around 1.5mm to 2.5mm. Crafted on a 925 sterling silver base in your choice of 18K white, yellow, or rose gold plating, with a secure hinged click-clasp closure. Specs: 925 sterling silver | 18K gold plating (white/yellow/rose) | moissanite DEF / VVS, refractive index 2.65, 9.25 Mohs | pavé cluster huggie hoop | ~0.5ct DEW total | hinged click-clasp.
