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.

Moissanite Huggie Hoop Earrings | Sterling Silver Pavé

About This Product

These sterling silver moissanite huggie hoops wrap close to the lobe and carry two parallel rows of pavé-set moissanite across the front face, so light catches the whole curve instead of a single point. The hinged latch-back clicks shut flush against the ear, which is why they sit securely through a full day without the droop or backing-loss of a standard butterfly post. The pavé stones are accent-cut moissanite (roughly 1mm each across the double row, near 0.10ct total DEW per earring), graded DEF colorless and VVS clarity. With a refractive index of 2.65 against a diamond's 2.42 and a 9.25 Mohs hardness, the rows throw more fire than cubic zirconia and resist the surface scratching that dulls softer stones. The band is solid 925 sterling silver; the hero shown here is the rhodium-finished white-gold plating, with rose gold and 18K yellow gold also available. Styling take: a double-row pavé huggie reads as one continuous sparkle line rather than a scattered cluster, which is what makes it the cleaner second-piercing or everyday-stack option versus a chunky single-stone hoop. Worn alone they finish a work look; doubled with a plain thin hoop higher on the ear they build a curated stack without competing. The polished inner band and lightweight profile keep them comfortable for all-day wear, and the close huggie diameter clears scarves and collars cleanly. Specs: 925 sterling silver, white-gold/rose-gold/18K-gold plating | double-row pavé moissanite, ~0.10ct DEW per earring (~1mm stones), DEF / VVS | refractive index 2.65 | 9.25 Mohs | hinged latch-back closure.
