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-Shaped Moissanite Pave Huggie Hoop Earrings

About This Product

These U-shaped huggie hoops hug close to the lobe while a triple-row pave of round-brilliant moissanite lights up the entire front face, so the sparkle reads as a solid band of fire rather than a single point of light. The elongated U-silhouette flatters every ear shape, and the hinged latch-back snaps shut securely for confident all-day wear. Each hoop stands roughly 15mm tall and sets dozens of accent stones across three pave rows. The moissanite is DEF colorless with VVS clarity and a refractive index of 2.65 versus 2.42 for diamond, so it returns noticeably more brilliance and rainbow fire under light. At 9.25 on the Mohs scale it resists scratching through daily wear, and the photographed pair carries a white rhodium finish over 925 sterling silver (also offered in 18K yellow-gold and rose-gold plating). The post is stamped S925, and the close-set huggie fit keeps the hoops snug against the lobe rather than dangling. Styling take: the small-stone pave band makes these read as a refined everyday huggie, not a loud statement hoop. Wear them solo as a polished anchor for an interview or office day, or stack a second and third piercing with thinner plain hoops for a graduated curated-ear look. The snug U-shape sits flat enough to layer under glasses or a headset without catching, which is why these out-perform larger hoops as a true wear-anywhere pair. Specs: 925 sterling silver, rhodium / 18K gold / rose-gold plating; triple-row pave moissanite, DEF color, VVS clarity, RI 2.65, 9.25 Mohs; approx 15mm U-hoop; hinged latch-back closure.
