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.

Round Moissanite Star-Prong Studs – DEF VVS

About This Product

A round brilliant-cut moissanite held in an eight-claw star-prong basket, so the setting itself reads like a tiny sunburst around each stone — a stud that does more than sit flat in the lobe. The prongs splay outward in a starburst silhouette, lifting the stone off the ear so light enters from the sides as well as the crown. That extra light is the point. Moissanite carries a refractive index of 2.65 versus a diamond's 2.42, so it returns measurably more fire — the flashes of color you can catch across a room — and the open star-prong basket maximizes it instead of boxing the stone in. Each stone is graded DEF colorless and VVS clarity, with the round brilliant's 57-facet pattern doing the brightness work. Styling note: studs with a decorative prong gallery wear differently than a plain four-prong solitaire. The star claws give a vintage, slightly ornamental face-up look, so these read dressier than a basic stud while still being everyday-safe. The push-back posts keep them secure for daily wear, and moissanite's 9.25 Mohs hardness (just under diamond's 10) means they shrug off the scratches a daily stud collects. Set in hypoallergenic 925 sterling silver plated in white gold — a real, skin-friendly base, honestly described as plated rather than solid. DEW is stated per earring, so a 1ct selection is 1ct DEW each / 2ct DEW total for the pair. Specs: Stone — Moissanite (lab-grown); Cut — Round Brilliant; Size — 0.3–2ct DEW per earring; Color — DEF colorless; Clarity — VVS; Metal — 925 Sterling Silver; Plating — White Gold; Setting — Star (multi-claw) Prong; Closure — Push Back.
