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 X-Cross Stud Earrings | 925 Silver

About This Product

A graphic little kiss for the everyday, these X-cross studs layer two slim bars into a crisp criss-cross that sits flat and close on the lobe. One bar is pave-set with a row of round-cut moissanite while the second crosses over in polished, unset metal, so the sparkle reads as a deliberate accent rather than a full block of stones. The contrast is what makes them work: light skips along the pave channel and catches the smooth crossed bar beside it, giving a modern, slightly hip-hop edge without ever feeling loud. Moissanite earns its place here on the numbers. Its 2.65 refractive index throws noticeably more fire than a diamond's 2.42, and at 9.25 on the Mohs scale it shrugs off the daily knocks that dull softer stones, so the pave stays bright through commutes, workouts, and weekends. The DEF colourless grade and VVS clarity keep each tiny accent stone clean and white against the bright metal. Built on 925 sterling silver and finished in 18K white gold plating, the studs secure with standard posts and friction butterfly backs and are stamped S925 for peace of mind. Styling tip: because the motif is small and flat, these are an ideal second-piercing or everyday anchor stud — wear them solo for a clean office look, or stack them below a hoop or huggie for an easy curated-ear effect that still feels intentional. Specs: round-cut moissanite, under 0.5ct DEW per earring (approx 3mm of pave); DEF colour, VVS clarity; 925 sterling silver, 18K white gold plated; post with butterfly back.
