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.

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 Circle Pendant | 0.5ct DEW Pavé Halo

About This Product

A round-brilliant moissanite floats inside an open circle frame on this pendant, catching light from every angle as you move. The center stone is a 0.5ct DEW (5mm) round moissanite held in a four-prong setting, so nothing crowds the table and the fire reads clean against bare skin. Two pavé-set arcs sweep around the open circle, and two princess-cut (square) accent stones sit at the 12 and 6 o'clock positions to break up the curve with a bit of geometry. Moissanite earns its sparkle on the numbers: a refractive index of 2.65 outshines a diamond's 2.42, which is why the center stone throws more rainbow fire than a same-size diamond would. At 9.25 on the Mohs scale it resists daily scuffs, and DEF colorless / VVS clarity grading keeps the body bright and clear. The setting is 925 sterling silver finished in rhodium plating, giving the cool white tone you see in the photo and a layer of tarnish resistance over the silver. Styling take: the open-circle silhouette is one of the easiest pendants to layer. Worn on its own it sits as a tidy 5mm focal point for work or daily wear; paired with a longer plain chain it adds dimension without competing, since the halo frame is airy rather than solid. The cable-link chain shown keeps the look modern and unfussy, and the 5mm scale reads as understated rather than flashy for office or everyday wear.
