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.

Toi et Moi Emerald & Pear Moissanite Bypass Ring

About This Product

Two contrasting stones face each other across an open bypass shank in this toi-et-moi ring: a step-cut emerald rectangle on one side and a brilliant pear teardrop on the other, each held in slim four-prong baskets so the gap between them becomes part of the design. The pairing reads as deliberately modern rather than matched-set, letting the long parallel facets of the emerald cut play against the bright crushed-ice sparkle of the pear. Moissanite makes both stones perform: a 2.65 refractive index sends back more fire than a diamond's 2.42, while 9.25 Mohs hardness protects the exposed points of the pear and the open corners of the emerald cut through everyday wear. Both are DEF colorless with VVS clarity, totaling roughly 2ct DEW across the pair. The open-end shank is 925 sterling silver with a high-polish rhodium finish and adjusts for an easy fit. Spec block - Stone: Moissanite (DEF colorless, VVS); Cuts: emerald (step) + pear (brilliant); DEW: ~2ct total; Metal: 925 sterling silver; Setting: four-prong, open bypass shank; Stone Color options: White, Blue, Yellow, Pink. Styling note: the asymmetric two-stone layout sits beautifully as a statement ring on its own, and the open shank means it can be nudged to fit across a range of sizes. Care: clean the prong baskets gently with a soft brush so both crowns stay clear, and store separately to protect the pear's tip. A distinctive dual-stone piece for anyone who wants something past the single solitaire.
