Moissanite is its own gemstone — lab-created silicon carbide with a Mohs hardness of about 9.25. It is a brilliant diamond alternative, not a diamond and not a "lab-grown diamond." Each stone is selected for fire, clarity, and lasting everyday wear.

It is real moissanite — a genuine lab-created gemstone (silicon carbide) set in real 925 sterling silver. It is a diamond alternative (simulant), not a diamond, and we never call it a lab-grown diamond.

Some thermal diamond testers may read moissanite as diamond because it conducts heat similarly. Specialized moissanite or dual testers, and professional gemological testing, reliably tell them apart. Moissanite is its own gemstone, not a diamond.

No. Moissanite does not get cloudy or lose its sparkle. If it ever looks dull, that is usually lotion, oils, or everyday film — clean it gently with a soft cloth and mild soapy water to restore the shine.

Moissanite (silicon carbide, Mohs ~9.25) is harder, more brilliant, and far more durable than cubic zirconia (Mohs ~8–8.5), which can scratch and dull over time. Moissanite keeps its sparkle through daily wear.

We describe carat as the diamond-equivalent size (often shown as CTW). Because moissanite weighs slightly less than a diamond of the same dimensions, a "1ct" moissanite is about the size of a 1-carat diamond rather than its exact weight.

For everyday wear, 0.5–1ct stays subtle and comfortable; 2–3ct reads as noticeable, date-night sparkle; 5ct is a true statement. All are set in 925 sterling silver.
