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 Square Halo Pendant | 0.5ct 925 Silver

About This Product

This round-cut moissanite halo pendant pairs a brilliant 0.5ct DEW (5mm) center stone with a cut-corner square pavé frame, so a modest stone reads far larger on the neckline. The center moissanite floats in a four-prong setting at the heart of an open octagonal halo, micro-pavé set with dozens of accent stones that continue up the bail for edge-to-edge sparkle from chain to base. The center stone is graded DEF colorless and VVS clarity, and its 2.65 refractive index (versus 2.42 for diamond) throws noticeably more fire under direct light. At 9.25 on the Mohs scale it resists the everyday scratches that dull softer simulants, while the negative-space gap between the prong-set center and the surrounding halo lets light pass through the stone from every angle rather than bouncing off a closed bezel. Stylist take: the geometric square halo squares off an otherwise classic round solitaire, which makes this read more modern and architectural than a plain round-halo pendant. It sits at the hollow of the throat on the included cable chain, layers cleanly under a longer strand, and the rhodium-plated white finish stays bright against both warm and cool skin tones. It is a safe, instantly recognisable gift that still looks considered. The 925 sterling silver mount is rhodium-plated for tarnish resistance and a bright white shine. Wipe with a soft cloth after wear and store it dry between outings to keep the pavé crisp.
