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 Solitaire Pendant Necklace | Silver

About This Product

A single round brilliant-cut moissanite floats in a four-prong basket setting on this solitaire pendant, strung on a fine box chain that lays clean against the collarbone. Choose your presence: 0.5ct DEW (5mm), 1ct DEW (6.5mm), or 2ct DEW (8mm) of stone. The proof is in the cut. Moissanite carries a refractive index of 2.65 against a diamond's 2.42, so this round throws more fire and a brighter, more colourful flash under everyday light. The stone is graded DEF colourless with VVS clarity, and at 9.25 on the Mohs scale it shrugs off the scratches that dull softer simulants. The four claws sit low and tight, leaving the crown and table fully open to catch light from every angle. Stylist take: a round solitaire on a box chain is the workhorse of a jewellery wardrobe. The 0.5ct reads as a quiet everyday sparkle that layers under a heavier piece; the 1ct is the classic bridal-adjacent size that photographs well; the 2ct makes the necklace the statement and wants an open neckline to do its work. The box chain is a deliberate choice here, its squared links sit flat and resist twisting better than a thin cable. Set in 925 sterling silver finished with a white-gold-toned rhodium plating, the metal is hypoallergenic and nickel-conscious for sensitive skin. The bail glides on the chain so the pendant always centres itself. Specs: round brilliant-cut moissanite, DEF colourless, VVS clarity, RI 2.65, 9.25 Mohs; 0.5/1/2ct DEW (5/6.5/8mm); four-prong setting; 925 sterling silver, white gold plated; box chain with spring-ring clasp.
