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 Pave Hoop Earrings | 0.54 CTW DEF/VVS Silver

About This Product

These pave hoop earrings line a slim, elongated oval band with a single row of round-brilliant moissanite melee, so the front-facing arc reads as one continuous ribbon of light while the back stays plain polished metal. Worn, they sit close to the lobe and catch movement at every angle, giving more presence than their delicate width suggests. The stones are DEF colorless and VVS clarity with a 2.65 refractive index, higher than a diamond's 2.42, which is why a row this fine still throws crisp white sparkle rather than reading flat or glassy. At 9.25 on the Mohs scale the melee resists the everyday scratches that dull softer simulants, and the shared-prong pave keeps each stone secure with minimal metal showing between them. The band is 925 sterling silver finished in white gold plating, and the hinged latch-back snaps flush for a clean, snag-free closure that holds through a full day of wear. Total weight is 0.54 CTW (about 0.27ct per earring) spread across the melee row, not a single center stone, which is what gives these their understated everyday-luxe look instead of a statement glare. Expert take: a continuous pave line like this is the most forgiving hoop to wear daily. It stacks cleanly with a second smaller hoop or a stud, layers under a curated ear, and reads polished from a morning meeting to dinner without any restyling. Specs: 0.54 CTW total moissanite (~0.27ct/earring), round-brilliant melee, DEF color, VVS clarity, RI 2.65, 9.25 Mohs; 925 sterling silver, white gold plated; hinged latch-back.
