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.

U-Shape Pavé Moissanite Huggie Hoop Earrings

About This Product

Want hoops that read as a polished diamond detail without the diamond price? These U-shape pavé moissanite huggie earrings hug the lobe in a compact horseshoe silhouette, with a hinged snap-back closure that sits flush against the ear and stays secure through a full day-to-night wear without a separate butterfly back to lose. Each huggie is set with multiple rows of pavé round-cut moissanite across the curved front face, tapering to a smooth, high-polish back. The stones are DEF colorless and VVS clarity, with a refractive index of 2.65 versus a diamond's 2.42, so they throw noticeably more fire under direct light. At 9.25 on the Mohs scale they resist the everyday scuffs and clouding that dull softer simulants like cubic zirconia. The base is solid 925 sterling silver, finished in bright rhodium for the white tone shown here, with rose-gold and 18K yellow-gold plating also available across the variants. Styling take: pavé huggies are the rare earring that works as a permanent fixture. Wear them as your everyday anchor and stack a thin threader or a single stud in a second piercing above. The curved U-profile bounces light around the lobe instead of dropping it downward, which is why a pavé huggie photographs brighter and looks fuller than a flat, single-line hoop of the same diameter. The hinged snap closure clicks shut one-handed and holds tight all day. Specs: 925 sterling silver, rhodium / rose / 18K-gold plated; pavé round-cut moissanite, DEF color, VVS clarity, refractive index 2.65, 9.25 Mohs hardness; hinged huggie snap-back closure.
