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.

Butterfly Moissanite Stud Earrings | 925 Silver

About This Product

These butterfly studs sit flat on the lobe with a sculptural lift, four high-polish domed wings opening around a slim pave-set body so the whole motif reads as a butterfly caught mid-flutter rather than a flat outline. Each wing is mirror-bright 925 sterling silver, and small round moissanite stones are flush-set into the metal so they sit level with the surface and wink like dewdrops without snagging on hair or scarves. Down the centre, a tight row of pave-set rounds concentrates the sparkle into a single bright spine, balancing the smooth, substantial wings. Moissanite carries a 2.65 refractive index against a diamond's 2.42, so even these petite stones throw more fire than their size suggests, and at 9.25 on the Mohs scale the surfaces stay scratch-bright through daily wear. Styling take: scattered flush-set studs are the workhorse of a stacked-ear look. Wear them solo for an office-to-evening sparkle that never tips into fussy, or pair them low with a plain huggie or a single small hoop higher up to build a curated ear without competing focal points. The polished wings keep the design modern and playful, the kind of everyday piece you stop noticing you put on. Choose 18K white gold plating for a crisp, cool silver tone or 18K yellow gold plating for a warmer, sunlit glow; both ship on secure push-back posts stamped S925. Each stone is DEF colorless with VVS clarity, so the scatter stays bright and consistent across both wings. Specs: 925 sterling silver, 18K white or yellow gold plating; flush-set and pave round moissanite, under 0.5ct DEW per earring; DEF color, VVS clarity, 2.65 RI, 9.25 Mohs; push-back studs.
