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 Pear Drop Butterfly Necklace | Pavé Pendant

About This Product

Delicate movement in every glance: an open pavé-outlined butterfly perches at the top of this pendant, trailing into a single bezel-set round accent that leads the eye down to a luminous pear-cut moissanite drop. The teardrop is the anchor of the design, held in a three-prong setting that lifts it clear of the metal so light floods through every facet from crown to tip. At roughly 1.25ct DEW (about 8x6mm), the pear reads generously without overwhelming the airy butterfly above it. Moissanite carries a refractive index of 2.65 against a diamond's 2.42, so this stone throws noticeably more fire and rainbow flash under any light, while its DEF-equivalent colorless grade and VVS clarity keep the face bright and clean. At 9.25 on the Mohs scale it shrugs off daily wear, making this a piece you can layer under a collar on a workday and still wear out at night. Expert take: the negative space inside the butterfly is what makes this necklace feel modern rather than sweet, keep it as your only statement at the neckline and let the pear do the talking, or nest it just above a plain fine chain for a subtle two-tier drop. Crafted in 925 sterling silver and finished in your choice of 18K white-gold or 18K yellow-gold plating, it suspends from a matching cable chain. A bridal-adjacent sparkle that still works with jeans. Specs: 925 sterling silver; ~1.25ct DEW (8x6mm) pear moissanite center; pavé butterfly and bezel accent; DEF colorless, VVS clarity; refractive index 2.65; 9.25 Mohs; 18K white- or yellow-gold plating; cable chain.
