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.

1ct Round Moissanite Swirl Halo Necklace

About This Product

A single round-brilliant moissanite of 1 carat DEW (a true 6.5mm) sits at the heart of this pendant, wrapped in sweeping ribbons of metal that spiral inward like the petals of a rose. Those crossed bands are traced with tiny pavé stones, so the halo shimmers around the solitaire without ever overpowering it. The effect is movement frozen in metal: light catches the swirl from every angle, then collects in the center stone. Moissanite is the reason that center burns brighter than diamond. Its refractive index of 2.65 outclasses a diamond's 2.42, throwing noticeably more rainbow fire, while DEF colorless grading and VVS clarity keep the body water-clear and free of visible inclusions. At 9.25 on the Mohs scale it resists scratching through years of daily wear, so this is a piece you can layer under a collar and forget about. Stylist's note: the round stone and compact swirl setting make this an easy everyday pendant that still reads dressy — wear it solo on its included fine cable chain for a clean neckline, or layer it over a shorter station chain for dimension. The 18K white gold finish stays cool and bright against most skin tones; the rose gold option warms the same design for a softer, romantic feel. It lands naturally as a birthday, anniversary, or bridal-party gift. Specs: 1ct DEW (6.5mm) round moissanite center, DEF color, VVS clarity, pavé swirl halo, refractive index 2.65, 9.25 Mohs hardness, 18K white or rose gold plated over 925 sterling silver, fine cable chain.
