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 Teardrop Y-Drop Lariat Necklace

About This Product

This featherweight lariat trades heft for movement: a small pavé teardrop set with tiny round Moissanite stones rests at the centre, and the cable chain slips straight through it to form a slim Y-drop that ends in a graduated bead tassel. The open line draws the eye downward, elongates the neck, and frames an open collar, V-neck, or button-down without crowding it. The drop swings as you move, so the little teardrop catches and releases light with every turn. Proof is in the stone. Moissanite carries a 2.65 refractive index against a diamond's 2.42, so even this petite cluster throws noticeably more fire than a same-size diamond would. The stones are graded D-E-F colourless and VVS clarity, and at 9.25 on the Mohs scale they shrug off the daily knocks a layering piece takes. Total stone weight sits under 0.07ct DEW (sub-2mm rounds) — deliberately dainty, so the sparkle reads as a glint rather than a statement. Styling tip: this is a layering anchor, not a soloist. Wear it longest in a stack beneath a short choker and a mid-length pendant so the Y-drop and bead tassel hang clear below the others, or let it stand alone over a plain knit for a quiet, modern line. The slim cable chain keeps the whole piece light enough to forget you have it on. Crafted in 925 sterling silver finished with 18K yellow-gold plating for a warm, golden tone. Specs: Moissanite, D-E-F colour, VVS clarity, round cut, <0.07ct DEW total; 925 sterling silver, 18K yellow-gold plated; refractive index 2.65; 9.25 Mohs.
