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 Pinwheel Spiral Pendant Necklace

About This Product

Movement is the whole point of this pendant: four sweeping arms curve around a brilliant round moissanite like the vanes of a spinning pinwheel, catching light from every angle as you move. Two of the arms are lined edge-to-edge with pave-set accents while the opposing pair stays open and high-polished, so the silhouette reads as a four-point spiral rather than a solid frame. A single petite round accent floats between the bail and the pinwheel, lifting the eye upward and giving the drop a graceful sense of length. The center stone does the heavy lifting on sparkle. Moissanite carries a 2.65 refractive index against a diamond's 2.42, so it throws noticeably more rainbow fire, and at 9.25 on the Mohs scale it shrugs off the daily knocks that dull softer stones. Held in a secure six-prong basket, the DEF-colorless, VVS-clarity round stays bright and crisp without the warmth or inclusions you would pay a premium to avoid in a mined diamond. Stylist's take: the open spiral form keeps this from feeling like a heavy halo pendant, so it layers cleanly over a crew neckline or sits alone above a scoop or V-neck. It is a versatile everyday piece that still photographs like an occasion necklace. The pinwheel hangs from a fine cable chain in 925 sterling silver finished with bright 18K white-gold plating for a cool, rhodium-like shine. Specs: brilliant round moissanite center (~1ct DEW, 6.5mm), DEF color, VVS clarity, 6-prong setting; pave-set spiral arms; 925 sterling silver, 18K white-gold plated; fine cable chain.
