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.

Pear-Cut Moissanite Halo Stud Earrings | 1ct DEW

About This Product

These pear-cut moissanite halo studs put a 1ct DEW (6.5mm) teardrop stone at the center of each earring, lifted by a three-prong setting that keeps the point and shoulders fully open to light. A single row of pavé-set round accents wraps the halo, widening the apparent face of each stud and throwing extra fire around the edge so the pair looks larger than the center carat alone. Moissanite earns that fire honestly: a refractive index of 2.65 against a diamond's 2.42 means more light bends back to your eye, so a 6.5mm stone reads brighter than a same-size diamond. The center stones are graded DEF colorless with VVS clarity, and at 9.25 on the Mohs scale the surface resists the scratching and clouding that dull cubic zirconia within months of daily wear. Stylist's note: the pear silhouette is most flattering worn point-down, where the taper elongates the lobe and reads dressier than a plain round stud. The halo adds presence at roughly 13mm overall without crossing into chandelier territory, so these carry from a workday to a dinner reservation. Push-back closures sit flush against the lobe and hold securely through a full day. Each stud is cast in 925 sterling silver finished in rhodium-toned white for a bright, cool-white metal that mirrors the colorless center and resists tarnish. Sold as a pair, and the carat weight is quoted per earring rather than per pair. Specs: 1ct DEW (6.5mm) pear-cut moissanite center, DEF color, VVS clarity, refractive index 2.65, 9.25 Mohs; pavé round-cut halo; 925 sterling silver, white rhodium finish; push-back posts.
