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.

Round Moissanite Huggie Earrings – 5mm 0.5ct DEW Pavé

About This Product

These huggie earrings sit close to the lobe, then push one round moissanite forward where it catches the light first. Each hoop carries a single 5.0mm round brilliant (0.5ct DEW) lifted in a four-prong bridge set sideways across the open front, while a row of 1.5mm pavé melee traces the lower curve of the 16.5mm hoop — so the solitaire and the band flash together every time you turn your head. The center stone does the heavy lifting on proof: moissanite's 2.65 refractive index outpaces a diamond's 2.42, throwing more fire from a smaller footprint, and at 9.25 on the Mohs scale it shrugs off the daily knocks a small hoop takes against collars, scarves and phone screens. Color grades DEF colorless and clarity reads VVS, so there is no warm tint or visible inclusion to dull the sparkle. Styling take: huggies this size — 16.5mm across on a slim 1.7mm band — are the earring that earns a permanent spot in a stacked ear or worn solo on a bare lobe. The front-set stone reads dressier than a plain hoop but stays small enough for back-to-back wear from desk to dinner, and the hinged snap closure keeps each one secure. Finished in 925 sterling silver and available plated in white, yellow or rose gold tone to match the rest of your stack. Spec: 5.0mm round moissanite (0.5ct DEW each) · DEF colorless · VVS clarity · four-prong bridge setting · 1.5mm pavé melee · 16.5mm hoop, 1.7mm band · 925 sterling silver in three plating tones · hinged huggie closure · 3.66g pair.
