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.

1ct Pear Moissanite Halo Drop Earrings | 925 Silver

About This Product

These pear cut moissanite drop earrings deliver a 1ct DEW (6.5mm) teardrop on each ear, set in a brilliant micro-pave halo that suspends from a slim pave huggie hoop for movement and sparkle with every turn of the head. The drop length keeps the stone in motion against the jaw, where the elongated pear shape reads as a flattering, lengthening line. Each center stone is DEF colorless, VVS clarity moissanite with a refractive index of 2.65 versus a diamond's 2.42, so the fire returns more visibly under evening and warm light. At 9.25 on the Mohs scale, the stones resist the scratching and clouding that dull lesser drops, and the encircling halo of accent stones widens the apparent size of each pear while masking the four prong tips holding it. The settings, hoops and halos are 925 sterling silver finished in rhodium for a bright, cool white-metal tone that won't tarnish with daily wear. Expert take: pear drops suit nearly every face because the point sits low and draws the eye downward; wear them with the point facing down (as shown) for a classic bridal look, and let the huggie hoop do the work of an everyday earring while the halo dresses it up for the evening. A secure hinged huggie closure keeps the pair on through long wear. Specs: 1ct DEW per earring (6.5mm pear) | DEF color | VVS clarity | RI 2.65 | 9.25 Mohs | halo + pave huggie | rhodium-finished 925 sterling silver.
