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 Snowflake Dancing Stone Necklace – 0.5ct

About This Product

A snowflake you can wear all year: this 18 x 18mm openwork flake is built entirely from moissanite, with a pavé-set inner hexagon framing a 0.5ct DEW (5mm) round brilliant at its heart. The centre stone sits on a dancing-stone mount — a twin-wire suspension that lets it tremble with your pulse, your breath, every step you take. Because moissanite's fire is direction-dependent, that constant micro-movement keeps the centre flashing even while you stand still, so the pendant catches light long after a static stone would go quiet. The dancing centre is DEF colorless with VVS clarity and a 2.65 refractive index — meaningfully higher than a diamond's 2.42 — which is why moissanite throws more of that rainbow fire. Crucially, the accent stones lining the snowflake's arms and inner ring are moissanite too, not CZ, so the frame matches the centre's brilliance instead of dulling beside it. The whole flake is rendered in 925 sterling silver with a white-gold-tone plating, giving a bright, cool-white finish that reads icy and clean against skin. Styling note: at roughly 18mm the snowflake reads as a delicate, everyday charm rather than a heavy statement piece — it layers beautifully over a crew-neck knit in winter, yet stays light enough for a summer tee. It arrives on a 45cm cable chain, an ideal length to sit just below the collarbone. A genuine year-round favourite that leans festive at Christmas without being literal about it. Specs: 0.5ct DEW (5mm) round moissanite centre on dancing mount; pavé moissanite accents; DEF colorless, VVS clarity, 9.25 Mohs; 925 sterling silver, white-gold-tone plated; 18 x 18mm pendant; 45cm cable chain; approx. 3.12g.
