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.

Star & Moon Pavé Moissanite Huggie Drop Earrings

About This Product

Wear the night sky as a pair: one ear gets a crescent moon, the other an eight-point starburst, each charm suspended from a slim hinged huggie hoop for a deliberately mismatched, asymmetric look. The drop adds gentle movement that a plain stud or hoop can't, while the huggie still hugs the lobe so the earrings sit secure all day. Every surface is paved with full-cut round moissanite. The crescent traces a fine moissanite-lined arc against a beaded inner edge, and the star packs graduated pavé around one brighter central stone of roughly 2mm, with smaller 1–1.5mm accents fanning out to each point. With a refractive index of 2.65 versus a diamond's 2.42, even these tiny stones throw outsized rainbow fire, so the pair reads far brighter than its modest stone weight. The moissanite is near-colorless DEF with VVS clarity and a 9.25 Mohs hardness that shrugs off daily scratches. Charms and hoops are 925 sterling silver finished in 18K white gold plating for a cool, rhodium-bright white that won't tarnish with normal wear. Stylist take: because the motifs differ ear to ear, these layer beautifully in a second piercing or alongside a simple stud — and the celestial theme carries from an office day through a party or wedding without restyling. Total piece weight is about 4.2g for the pair, light enough to forget you're wearing them. Specs: 925 sterling silver, 18K white gold-plated; pavé round moissanite, DEF color, VVS clarity, RI 2.65, 9.25 Mohs; under 0.5ct DEW per earring; hinged huggie closure; ~4.2g pair.
