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 Tube Pendant Necklace | 1.6 CTW Silver

About This Product

A cylindrical roller pendant that spins freely on its chain, this moissanite tube necklace throws light from every angle as it turns. The barrel-shaped pendant is wrapped in rows of round brilliant-cut moissanite, and each stone sits in an open four-prong setting so light floods through the back of the gem for maximum return rather than dead-ending in a closed bezel. The stones total 1.6 carats DEW and grade DEF colorless with VVS clarity, so the sparkle reads bright white with no inclusions visible to the eye. Moissanite carries a 2.65 refractive index against a diamond's 2.42, which is the measurable reason this pendant flashes more fire than its price suggests, and at 9.25 on the Mohs scale it resists the scratches and abrasion of daily wear. The pendant rides on a rhodium-plated 925 sterling silver box chain measuring 450mm with an adjustable extender, so it sits at the collarbone or layers under a longer piece. Stylist's take: the spinning roller is a quiet, fidget-friendly detail that makes this an everyday necklace rather than an occasion-only one. Wear it solo against a crew or boat neckline to let the rotation catch the eye, or layer it over a longer chain for depth. The neutral white-metal finish mixes cleanly with both silver-toned and white-gold-toned jewelry, and the compact barrel reads as modern rather than fussy, dressing up a t-shirt as readily as a blouse. Specs: 1.6 CTW DEW round brilliant moissanite | DEF color, VVS clarity | RI 2.65, 9.25 Mohs | rhodium-plated 925 sterling silver | spinning barrel pendant on 450mm adjustable box chain.
