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 Stud Earrings

About This Product

A pair of round-brilliant moissanite studs is the one earring nearly every wardrobe asks for, and this version earns the spot by getting the fundamentals right. Each stone sits in a four-prong basket setting that lifts it clear of the lobe, so light enters from the sides as well as the top for full, uninterrupted return. Moissanite carries a 2.65 refractive index against a diamond's 2.42, which is why these read brighter and throw more rainbow fire under everyday light. The stones are cut to DEF colorless and VVS clarity, and at 9.25 on the Mohs scale the surface stays crisp and scratch-resistant through daily wear. Sizing is measured in diamond equivalent weight (DEW), since moissanite is a distinct stone. Per earring you can choose 0.5ct (5mm) for a quiet, lobe-hugging point of light, 1.0ct (6.5mm) for the everyday classic, 1.5ct (7.5mm) for noticeable presence, or 2.0ct (8mm) for a bold, unmistakable sparkle. The setting and post are 925 sterling silver finished in 18K white gold plating, secured with push-on friction backs you can see in the side view. Styling note: a true four-prong basket like this one is the most versatile stud you can own. The 1.0ct pair flatters most lobes and pairs cleanly under glasses or a high collar, while the 2.0ct reads as a statement on its own or as the anchor of a stacked-piercing curation. Polish with a soft cloth and avoid harsh chemicals to keep the plating bright. Specs: round brilliant moissanite; DEF colorless, VVS; 2.65 RI; 9.25 Mohs; 925 sterling silver, 18K white gold plated; four-prong basket; friction backs; 0.5/1.0/1.5/2.0ct DEW per earring.
