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.

Square Moissanite Hip Hop Stud Earrings | 925 Silver

About This Product

These square hip-hop stud earrings pack a full cube-block face in micro-pavé moissanite, so light fires from the flat top and all four beveled sides at once. Each square block is set with dozens of round-cut DEF colorless, VVS clarity moissanite stones held in corner prongs — a dense paved field rather than a single flat stone, which is what gives the iced-out look its depth and movement and lets the studs read clean from across a room. Moissanite earns the sparkle through physics, not marketing: a refractive index of 2.65 (diamond is 2.42) returns more light, and at 9.25 on the Mohs scale these stones resist scratching through daily wear far better than cubic zirconia, which clouds within months. The setting is solid 925 sterling silver in a bright rhodium-finished white tone, stamped 925 directly on the post. Styling note: cube studs sit flat and read clean from the front, so they layer well with a second helix or lobe piece without tangling, and the geometric block shape stays sharp where a round stud would soften. The screw-back closure is the detail that earns its keep — unlike push-backs, the threaded post locks the earring in place, which is why it's the standard for heavier hip-hop studs that you don't want sliding loose or slipping out at the gym or overnight. Sold as a matching pair, and the unisex profile suits any ear stack.
