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.

Vintage Pear Moissanite Teardrop Necklace

About This Product

A pear-cut moissanite floats free inside a milgrain-edged open teardrop frame, suspended from a four-stone quatrefoil bail for a romantic, heirloom-inspired drop. Because the frame is open rather than solid, light passes straight through the stone from every angle, so the center reads brighter than a bezel-set drop of the same size. The beaded milgrain running around the teardrop outline is the detail that sells the vintage story up close, while the diamond-arranged cluster of four accents at the top mirrors the teardrop below for a balanced, symmetrical silhouette. The center stone is an 8x6mm pear, roughly 1.25ct DEW, cut to DEF colorless and VVS clarity. Moissanite's 2.65 refractive index throws noticeably more fire than a diamond's 2.42, and at 9.25 on the Mohs scale it shrugs off the daily knocks that dull softer stones. Four small moissanite accents complete the quatrefoil bail so the sparkle carries all the way up the drop. Expert take: a pear drop like this elongates the neckline and pairs cleanly with both an open collar and a crew neck, so it works for a wedding, a birthday dinner, or everyday wear. The open-frame teardrop is more forgiving than a heavy pendant if you layer it with a shorter chain. Choose white-gold plating for a cool, classic finish or yellow-gold for warmer vintage tones; both arrive on a matching cable chain. Specs: 8x6mm pear moissanite, ~1.25ct DEW, DEF color, VVS clarity, 2.65 RI, 9.25 Mohs; 925 sterling silver with 18K white- or yellow-gold plating; four accent moissanites; on a matching chain.
