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.

Emerald-Cut Moissanite & Pear CZ Toi et Moi Bypass Ring

About This Product

Two stones face each other across an open bypass shank in this toi-et-moi ring: a step-cut emerald-cut moissanite on one side and an ice-flower-cut pear on the other, each held in a slim four-prong basket so the gap between them becomes part of the design. Only the emerald cut is moissanite. The pear is cubic zirconia (CZ), cut in a crushed-ice "ice flower" pattern that scatters light in a different way from the long, mirror-like facets of the moissanite, and that difference is what gives the pairing its contrast. The moissanite is DEF colorless with VVS clarity and measures about 10mm along its length; a 2.65 refractive index sends back more fire than a diamond's 2.42, and at 9.25 on the Mohs scale it shrugs off everyday wear. The CZ pear is also about 10mm and colorless in the white version, but softer at roughly 8.5 Mohs, so give that side a little more care. The open-end shank is 925 sterling silver with white-gold plating and flexes slightly for fit. Spec block - Main stone: emerald-cut moissanite, DEF colorless, VVS, ~10mm; Second stone: ice-flower-cut cubic zirconia, ~10mm; Metal: 925 sterling silver, white-gold plated; Setting: four-prong baskets on an open bypass shank; Stone color options: White, Blue, Yellow, Pink (the ice-flower stone changes color, the moissanite stays white); Fit: open, adjustable band; each size option covers a range of US sizes rather than a single size. Styling note: the asymmetric two-stone layout works as a statement ring on its own or as a right-hand alternative to a single solitaire. Care: clean both baskets gently with a soft brush, avoid ultrasonic cleaners and chlorine, and store the ring separately so the pear's tip and the plating stay protected.
