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.

Octagonal Pavé Moissanite Stud Earrings | 925 Silver

About This Product

Make a compact statement with these octagonal pavé moissanite stud earrings, engineered for everyday sparkle that holds up to close inspection. Each stud is a flat eight-sided face fully micro-pavé set with round-brilliant moissanite, anchored by a raised square center cluster that gives the design a tiered, 3D profile and extra fire from the side. The stones are DEF colorless and VVS clarity, with a 2.65 refractive index that throws more light return than a diamond's 2.42, plus 9.25 Mohs hardness that resists daily scuffing. Proof is in the build: solid 925 sterling silver with secure screw-back posts (the "925" hallmark is stamped on each post), so the pair stays put through a full day or a workout. The white version shown is rhodium-plated for a bright, tarnish-resistant white-gold look; a yellow-gold-tone plating is also offered. Each stud measures roughly 8mm across the octagon, a low-profile footprint that reads polished rather than flashy. Styling take: the geometric octagon sits flatter and more architectural than a round halo stud, so it layers cleanly under a first or second piercing and works as a unisex everyday anchor. Pair the white finish with a tennis bracelet for an iced-out hip-hop set, or wear them solo with a collared shirt for understated, close-up shine that still earns a second look. Spec block: octagonal pavé stud | round-brilliant moissanite, DEF / VVS / RI 2.65 / 9.25 Mohs | 925 sterling silver, rhodium or yellow plating | screw-back posts | ~8mm face | sold as a pair.
