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.

Princess Cut Moissanite Pendant | 925 Silver Solitaire

About This Product

A princess-cut moissanite solitaire delivers more fire than a diamond at a fraction of the cost, thanks to a 2.65 refractive index versus diamond's 2.42. This pendant centers a square step-faceted stone held point-down in a four-prong basket, so light enters through every open angle and throws the rainbow flashes you can see in the photo. The DEF colorless grade reads icy-white against the polished rhodium-plated setting, and VVS clarity means no inclusions interrupt the table. Choose 1ct DEW (6.5mm) for an everyday, layerable scale or 2ct DEW (8mm) for a statement drop. Because moissanite carat weight differs from diamond, we list DEW (Diamond Equivalent Weight) plus the true millimeter face so the size you see is the size you get. The stone hangs from a slim cable chain with a spring-ring clasp and a tapered bail that keeps the kite-set square sitting square. Expert take: a princess cut set on the diagonal, as shown here, elongates the neckline more than a flat-square setting and pairs cleanly with both a crew neckline and an open collar. At 9.25 on the Mohs scale, the gem resists the scratching and clouding that softer cubic zirconia develops, so it stays brilliant through daily wear. Set in solid 925 sterling silver, it's hypoallergenic and nickel-safe for sensitive skin.
