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.

Vintage Moissanite Hoop Earrings | Round-Cut Huggies

About This Product

These vintage-inspired moissanite hoop earrings put a single continuous row of round brilliant-cut moissanite across the front-facing arc of each huggie hoop, so the stones stay visible and catch light from every angle as you move. The compact huggie silhouette sits close to the lobe, making these as easy to layer in a second piercing as they are to wear solo. A hinged snap closure clicks shut behind the ear for all-day security without a separate backing to lose. Each stone is graded DEF colorless with VVS clarity, so the row reads bright white rather than yellow-tinted. Moissanite's refractive index of 2.65 outpaces a diamond's 2.42, which is why the rainbow fire across these hoops is more pronounced than the white-only sparkle of cubic zirconia. At 9.25 on the Mohs scale the stones resist the scuffs and clouding everyday hoops collect over years of wear. The shown finish is 925 sterling silver plated with white gold; rose gold and yellow (18K) gold plating options carry the same stone layout. Stylist take: a half-eternity hoop like this is the workhorse of a stacked-ear look. Wear the white gold version as your anchor hoop and add a smaller plain huggie above it, or switch to the yellow gold pair to warm up against gold-tone necklaces and watches. Because the moissanite sits in shared single-prong settings rather than a heavy bezel, the row stays light on the lobe. Specs: round brilliant-cut moissanite, DEF colorless / VVS clarity, RI 2.65, 9.25 Mohs; 925 sterling silver, white / 18K yellow / rose gold plating; single-row half-eternity huggie hoop, hinged snap closure.
