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.

Pave Moissanite Cross Drop Huggie Earrings

About This Product

These cross-drop huggie earrings pair everyday wearability with devotional sparkle, so they move from a Sunday service to a dinner out without a second thought. Each polished hinged huggie clicks shut snugly against the lobe, then suspends a slender Latin cross fully pave-set with round moissanite. The arms finish in four-stone fleur tips, giving the crosses an antique-cathedral silhouette that reads richer than a plain bar cross. Why moissanite earns the look: with a 2.65 refractive index it throws noticeably more fire than diamond's 2.42, so even these small accent-sized stones flash rainbow color as your head turns. The gems are graded DEF colorless and VVS clarity, set close in shared-prong pave so the metal nearly disappears and the cross reads as a continuous ribbon of light. At 9.25 on the Mohs scale, moissanite shrugs off the daily knocks earrings actually take. Stylist's note: because the hoop is a true huggie, the cross hangs from the lobe rather than swinging from a wire, so it stays put and pairs cleanly with a second stud higher on the ear or a curated multi-piercing stack. The white-gold-tone plating keeps everything crisp and bright against any skin tone. Total weight is a comfortable 5.4g for the pair, light enough for all-day wear. A faithful, polished pair that signals meaning without shouting. Specs: 1.38ct total DEW round moissanite (DEF / VVS, RI 2.65, 9.25 Mohs); cross drop on hinged huggie hoops; 18K white-gold-plated 925 sterling silver; 5.4g per pair.
