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.

Radiant Cut Moissanite Stud Earrings | 925 Silver

About This Product

A radiant cut puts more light-return per millimetre on your ear than almost any shape: trimmed corners plus a crushed-ice brilliant facet pattern scatter light in every direction, so these studs read brighter and livelier than a same-size step cut. Each earring holds one elongated rectangular moissanite in a four-prong basket setting of 925 sterling silver, finished bright white to mimic platinum. The stones are DEF colorless and VVS clarity, with a 2.65 refractive index that out-sparkles a diamond's 2.42, and at 9.25 on the Mohs scale they resist the daily knocks studs take better than nearly every coloured gemstone. Sizing is per earring and quoted in diamond equivalent weight (DEW), because a moissanite carat is not a diamond carat: 0.5ct DEW sits near 5mm, 1ct near 6.5mm, and 2ct near 8mm of face-up length. Stylist note: a radiant's lengthening rectangle flatters a rounder face and pairs cleanly with a high-neck or collared look where a round stud can disappear into the lobe; the 1ct DEW is the everyday sweet spot, while the 2ct DEW carries an evening or bridal moment on its own. A secure push-back closure keeps each stud flush and upright for all-day wear, and the elongated table reads as a slightly larger stone than a round of equal weight. Because the metal is solid 925 sterling silver rather than plated brass, the studs can be re-polished for years without ever wearing through to a base metal underneath.
