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.

Sunburst Halo Moissanite Pendant Necklace - 1ct DEW DEF

About This Product

A 1ct DEW (6.5mm) round brilliant moissanite sits at the heart of this pendant, ringed by ten prong-set accent stones that radiate outward like petals on a sun-flower burst. The effect is a halo that reads far larger than the center alone, so the face flares with rainbow fire the instant it meets a light source. That fire is measurable: moissanite carries a refractive index of 2.65 against a diamond's 2.42, which is why the sunburst layout throws so much sparkle from a compact footprint. Each center stone is DEF colorless with VVS clarity, four-claw set so light enters from every angle, and rated 9.25 on the Mohs scale for daily-wear durability. The halo and the tapered bail are pavé-set with matched micro-stones, carrying the shimmer right up the chain rather than stopping at the pendant edge. Everything is cut from 925 sterling silver finished in bright white-gold plating for a rhodium-like shine that resists tarnish. Styling take: a round halo pendant is the most forgiving necklace shape to layer - it nests cleanly under a shorter choker or sits solo at the collarbone for office-to-evening wear. The floral burst reads dressy enough for a wedding guest but restrained enough for everyday, and the white-gold tone pairs with both warm and cool wardrobes. At roughly 2.6g it stays light on a fine cable chain, which here measures 40cm with a 5cm extender so you can wear it at 16 or 18 inches. Specs: 1ct DEW (6.5mm) center | DEF colorless, VVS clarity | RI 2.65 | 9.25 Mohs | 925 sterling silver, white-gold plated | 40+5cm cable chain.
