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 Stud Earrings | 925 Silver

About This Product

These princess-cut moissanite studs put a crisp square solitaire at each ear, held in a four-prong claw basket that lifts the stone off the lobe so light reaches every facet. The step-and-brilliant princess cut throws a sharp, geometric flash rather than the soft round halo of a brilliant, which is what makes it read modern and architectural in photos and in person. Each stone is DEF colorless and VVS clarity, so there is no visible tint or inclusion at arm's length. Moissanite carries a refractive index of 2.65 against a diamond's 2.42, so the return of light is actually higher than a mined diamond of the same size, and a smaller stone still reads bright. At 9.25 on the Mohs scale, just under diamond, it resists the scuffs and clouding that everyday wear inflicts on softer stones, so these survive a daily commute-to-dinner rotation without babying. The setting is 925 sterling silver finished in white-gold plating, with screw-back posts (shown behind each stud) that lock the earring in place far more securely than a friction push-back for active wear and sleep. Styling note: a square solitaire sits flush and symmetrical, so it flatters a second-hole stack and reads as a clean anchor under a round or huggie hoop above it. Moissanite carat is measured as diamond-equivalent weight (DEW). The 0.6ct option is about 5.5mm, 1ct about 6.5mm, and 2ct about 8mm per ear. Specs: princess-cut moissanite | DEF color, VVS clarity | RI 2.65, 9.25 Mohs | 925 sterling silver, white-gold plated | screw-back posts | 0.6ct/1ct/2ct DEW per earring (5.5/6.5/8mm).
