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.

Pavé Moissanite Leaf Huggie Earrings | 925 Silver

About This Product

Slip on a pair of huggie hoops that hug the lobe close and throw fire with every turn of your head. These curved, leaf-shaped huggies are pavé-set across the face with dozens of round-cut moissanite accents, so the whole panel reads as continuous sparkle rather than a single stone — a quiet, modern alternative to a plain hoop. The gemstone is moissanite, not cubic zirconia: a refractive index of 2.65 (versus 2.42 for diamond) is what drives that rainbow flash, DEF colorless body, VVS clarity, and 9.25 on the Mohs scale for daily-wear durability. The crescent face is hand-set with micro-pavé moissanite accents and finished as a smooth tapered leaf — wider at the top, narrowing to a point — on a 925 sterling silver frame. A hinged leverback (English-lock) clasp snaps shut securely, so they stay put through workouts, travel, and all-day wear. Choose your plating: rhodium-finished white gold for a bright modern look, or warm rose or yellow 18K gold plating over the sterling base. Styling take: the compact curved face sits flat against the ear, so these work as a permanent everyday earring and stack cleanly above a second piercing or alongside a small stud. The pavé surface catches light from any angle, making them dressier than a polished hoop without ever reading as formal, and the leverback keeps them comfortable enough to forget you have them on. Specs: 925 sterling silver; micro-pavé round-cut moissanite (DEF / VVS, RI 2.65, 9.25 Mohs); curved leaf-shaped huggie face; hinged leverback clasp; white, rose, or yellow 18K gold plating.
