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.

Twisted Rope Moissanite Huggie Earrings | 0.41ct DEW

About This Product

These huggie hoops wrap the lobe in a slim braided ribbon of light, the kind of everyday pair that reads as fine jewelry without the everyday-diamond price. The front half of each hoop is a twisted-rope motif, micro-pave set with brilliant round-cut moissanite that spirals like a vine; the back half is plain polished sterling so the sparkle stays at the front of the ear where it shows. Moissanite throws noticeably more fire than diamond -- a refractive index of 2.65 against a diamond's 2.42 -- so even a narrow 1.3mm band registers as a continuous line of light rather than scattered dots. The stones are graded DEF colorless and VVS clarity, and at 9.25 on the Mohs scale they shrug off daily wear far better than cubic zirconia. Each hoop measures 17mm across with a 3.2mm pave-topped face, closing with a secure hinged click-back that hugs the lobe flush -- comfortable enough to sleep in and small enough to layer in a stacked second or third piercing. Styling tip: worn solo they finish a clean office look; paired with a simple stud higher on the ear they build a curated stack without competing. Available in rhodium-plated white gold tone, plus warm yellow-gold and rose-gold plating over 925 sterling silver. Carat is per earring (Sparkile convention): 0.41ct DEW each, 0.82ct DEW total for the pair. A versatile, low-fuss huggie that earns its place in daily rotation. Specs: 0.41ct DEW moissanite per earring (0.82ct pair), DEF / VVS, 17mm hoop x 1.3mm band, 925 sterling silver, hinged click-back.
