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.

Sterling Silver Pavé Moissanite Hoop Earrings

About This Product

These sterling silver pavé moissanite hoop earrings put a continuous single row of round brilliant stones across the front-facing edge of each circular hoop, so light catches the band from every angle you turn. Each pavé stone is genuine moissanite: DEF colorless, VVS clarity, with a 2.65 refractive index that throws noticeably more fire than a diamond's 2.42, and a 9.25 Mohs hardness that resists the scratches and clouding that dull lesser stones over years of daily wear. The hoops are built on 925 sterling silver and finished here in a bright white-gold plating; rose-gold and yellow-gold (18K) platings are available from the Metal selector. The closure is a hinged snap-back latch — you tuck the post through and click it shut, which sits more securely than a friction post for all-day wear, gym to dinner. Styling note: a small-to-mid diameter pavé hoop like this reads as an everyday hoop, not a statement piece, so it stacks cleanly with a second helix or lobe stud and won't fight a necklace. The single pavé row keeps the silhouette slim, so it suits a first-hole daily earring as much as a polished office look. The stones are pavé-set in a raised channel along the outer face, leaving the inner band smooth against the ear. Total stone weight reads as accent-scale per hoop rather than carat-headline, which is exactly why these wear light and never catch on hair or collars. Specs: 925 sterling silver, white-gold plating; single-row pavé moissanite, DEF colorless, VVS clarity, RI 2.65, 9.25 Mohs; hinged snap-back closure; sold as a pair.
