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 Rope Halo Cushion Moissanite Studs

About This Product

These yellow gold stud earrings rework the classic halo into something with real vintage texture. Each stud centers a round brilliant moissanite of roughly 1ct DEW (about 6.5mm) per earring, held in a four-prong basket and circled by a tight pavé halo of accent stones. A hand-twisted rope border wraps the halo into a soft cushion silhouette, so the square outline reads warm and rounded rather than sharp. The braided gold catches light along its grooves, giving the studs presence on the lobe even before the center stone fires. The sparkle is the proof point. Moissanite's 2.65 refractive index throws noticeably more fire than a diamond's 2.42, so the center stone returns bursts of spectral color under direct light, while the pavé halo adds a fine ring of scintillation around it. The stones are DEF colorless with VVS clarity, and at 9.25 on the Mohs scale moissanite resists the scratching and clouding that dull softer simulants through daily wear. Stylist's take: the rope-and-halo frame makes these read as heirloom pieces, so they pair best with warm-toned outfits and other yellow gold layering — they bridge office and evening without looking like a plain solitaire stud. The yellow gold plating also flatters warmer skin tones and softens the contrast of the colorless center. Secured with standard friction posts and backs for easy everyday wear. Specs: round brilliant moissanite ~1ct DEW (6.5mm) per earring; DEF color; VVS clarity; refractive index 2.65; 9.25 Mohs; pavé accent halo; twisted rope cushion frame; 925 sterling silver with yellow gold plating; friction-post backs.
