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.

1ct Moissanite Open-Circle Pendant | 925 Silver

About This Product

A single 1ct (6.5mm) round-brilliant moissanite floats at the center of an open circle, four-prong set so light passes straight through the stone from every angle. The karma-style ring around it is lined with pavé accent moissanite, and two square step-cut stones are bezel-set at the top and bottom of the frame — a quiet geometric balance that reads as modern rather than traditional. Moissanite earns its sparkle by physics, not marketing: a refractive index of 2.65 outpaces diamond's 2.42, which is why the center stone throws noticeably more fire under daylight and warm indoor light alike. The gems are DEF colorless with VVS clarity, and at 9.25 on the Mohs scale the moissanite resists everyday scratching. The setting is 925 sterling silver finished in white-gold-tone rhodium plating for a bright, tarnish-resistant surface, hung on a fine cable chain that lets the open circle sit flat against the collarbone. Styling take: an open-circle pendant is the rare piece that layers without fighting a longer chain — wear it solo at 16in for a clean neckline, or stack it above a longer station necklace and let the negative space in the circle do the work. The pavé frame keeps it dressy enough for evening while the single round center stays understated for daily wear. The center stone reads close to a 1-carat diamond visually but at a fraction of the cost, making it an easy gift for an anniversary, birthday, or graduation without the lab-grown or mined-diamond price. Spec block: 1ct DEW (6.5mm) round center moissanite, DEF / VVS, RI 2.65, 9.25 Mohs; pavé + two square accent stones; 925 sterling silver, rhodium plated; rolo/cable chain, spring-ring clasp.
