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.

Moissanite U-Shaped Pavé Huggie Hoop Earrings | 925 Silver

About This Product

These U-shaped huggie hoops hug the lobe close, so the three rows of pavé moissanite catch light from every angle without the swing of a drop earring. The squared U-profile gives the band a wide, flat front face fully paved across its width, reading like fine diamond pavé at a fraction of the cost. Each round-cut moissanite is DEF colorless and VVS clarity, with a refractive index of 2.65 against a mined diamond's 2.42, so the micro-pavé throws noticeably more fire under everyday light. The stones sit in a snug bead setting along a 925 sterling silver band; this listing's pictured pair is finished in bright white rhodium, with 18K yellow-gold and rose-gold plating offered as alternate finishes. A hinged snap-bar closure clicks shut flush behind the lobe for all-day security. Expert take: huggies this densely paved are the easiest stack to layer. Wear them solo in a first or second piercing, or run them up a curated ear with a thin solitaire stud above. The close fit keeps them tangle-free under hair and scarves, making them a genuine wear-every-day hoop rather than an occasion piece. Moissanite measures 9.25 on the Mohs scale, just under diamond's 10, so the pavé resists scratching and clouding through daily wear. The compact huggie diameter keeps total carat modest while maximizing surface sparkle across the paved face. Specs: round-cut moissanite micro-pavé, three rows; DEF color, VVS clarity, RI 2.65, 9.25 Mohs; 925 sterling silver, rhodium / 18K gold / rose-gold plated; hinged snap-bar huggie closure; sold as a pair.
