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 Ribbon Bow Moissanite Necklace | Pear Center

About This Product

Some pendants ask for attention; this one earns it with a quiet trick of the light. A tied ribbon bow is hand-set in micro-pavé moissanite, every loop and trailing tail lined edge-to-edge with round melee, so the curves spark continuously as you move. At the knot sits a single pear-cut moissanite, angled like a teardrop slipping off the bow. Because moissanite refracts at 2.65 against a diamond's 2.42, that pear throws noticeably more fire than an equivalent diamond would, and the pavé borders multiply it into a soft shimmer rather than a single hard flash. The center stone and melee are DEF colorless with VVS clarity, so there is no warm tint or visible inclusion to dull the effect, and at 9.25 on the Mohs scale they keep their polish through everyday wear. The pendant rests on a slim cable chain in 925 sterling silver, available in white-gold or rose-gold plating roughly 0.03-0.05 microns thick. Styling take: the bow motif reads playful and feminine without tipping into costume, which makes it an easy daily layering piece. Worn alone it sits cleanly at the collarbone; paired with a longer plain chain it anchors a two-tier stack. The pear center keeps total carat weight under 0.5ct DEW (about 5mm), so it stays light and comfortable for all-day wear. It is an unfussy gift choice for a birthday, anniversary, or just-because moment. Specs: pear-cut moissanite center under 0.5ct DEW (~5mm), micro-pavé round melee, DEF color, VVS clarity, refractive index 2.65, 9.25 Mohs, 925 sterling silver, white-gold or rose-gold plating, slim cable chain.
