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.

Serpent Scale Moissanite Huggie Earrings | Snake Hoops

About This Product

These serpent-scale huggie hoops wrap the lobe in an articulated snake, each scale a faceted segment of high-polish 925 sterling silver that catches and throws light as you move. The body alternates plain mirror-bright scales with pave panels of round moissanite, while the pointed head and tapered tail are fully set so the snake appears to glint awake with every turn of your head. Because moissanite carries a 2.65 refractive index against a diamond's 2.42, those tiny accent stones return noticeably more fire than the same spread in diamond, giving a small hoop an outsized sparkle. The pave is graded DEF colorless and VVS clarity, set in a 9.25-Mohs stone that resists the scratches and clouding daily wear inflicts on softer simulants. As a small hinged huggie the hoop sits snug to the lobe with a secure snap closure, so it stays put through workouts, travel and sleep without the dangle or snag of an open hoop. Stylist's note: snake jewelry reads as quietly powerful rather than literal, and at this scale the earrings layer beautifully in a second or third piercing or stack above a larger statement hoop. Choose warm 18K yellow gold plating for a vintage-gold mood or cool 18K white gold plating for a crisp platinum-look finish that mirrors the colorless stones. A confident everyday earring that works as easily with denim as with evening wear. Specs: 925 sterling silver, 18K white or yellow gold plating; pave round moissanite approx 0.5ct DEW total per earring; DEF color, VVS clarity, refractive index 2.65, 9.25 Mohs; hinged huggie snap closure; sold as a pair.
