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.

Yellow Gold Moissanite Hoop Earrings – 2.16ct DEW per Hoop

About This Product

These inside-out hoops wrap a warm 18K yellow-gold-plated frame in a continuous row of round-brilliant moissanite, set along both the outer front face and the inner edge so the stones flash whether you face the camera or turn your head. The all-pave styling skips a single center stone in favor of a full graduated line of melee that reads as one bright, unbroken sweep of light. Moissanite is the reason they sparkle harder than a comparable diamond pair: a refractive index of 2.65 against a diamond's 2.42 throws noticeably more fire, so even the smallest stones near the hinge keep returning color and brightness. Each hoop carries roughly 2.16ct DEW of DEF colorless, VVS-clarity moissanite, and at 9.25 on the Mohs scale the stones shrug off the daily knocks that earrings inevitably take. The hinged snap-bar closure clicks shut securely against the lobe and stays put through long days. Stylist's take: an oval-leaning inside-out hoop is the most flattering of the medium hoops — the front row frames the face while the inner row peeks out as you move, giving you visible sparkle from every angle without the weight of a full diamond hoop. Wear them solo as an everyday upgrade, or stack with a stud in a second piercing for a layered look that still reads polished at the office. Built on 925 sterling silver under the yellow-gold plating for lasting structure. Specs: 2.16ct DEW per hoop · round-brilliant melee · DEF colorless · VVS clarity · RI 2.65 · 9.25 Mohs · 18K yellow-gold-plated 925 sterling silver · hinged snap closure.
