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.

Smiling Face Moissanite Stud Earrings

About This Product

Two tiny smiles for your earlobes: each stud is a curved bar of brilliant-cut moissanite that turns up at both ends into a grinning arc, so the pair reads as a pair of bright little smiles rather than the usual round point. The melee stones run edge to edge along the curve, and because moissanite carries a refractive index of 2.65 against a diamond's 2.42, even these small accents throw noticeably more rainbow fire than the same shape cut in cubic zirconia. The face-up sparkle is the whole point of a piece this minimal. The pair holds 0.19ct DEW of moissanite per earring, 0.38ct DEW total across the set. Stones are DEF colorless with VVS clarity, lined along the bar so the metal almost disappears behind the light. The frame is 925 sterling silver plated in white gold (stamped S925) on a push-back post, and at 9.25 Mohs the moissanite resists the scratches that dull softer stones worn every single day. Stone: Moissanite (lab-grown) | Cut: Round Brilliant melee | Size: 0.19ct DEW per earring (0.38ct DEW total pair) | Color: DEF colorless | Clarity: VVS | Metal: 925 Sterling Silver, white-gold plated | Setting: Pave bar Styling note: a curved bar sits flat and close to the lobe, so these layer cleanly under a second or third piercing without tangling, and the smile motif keeps an everyday stud playful rather than formal. Store them dry and re-seat the push-backs after a wipe-down to protect the white-gold plating. A cheerful, low-key gift that still sparkles.
