Will a moissanite chain pass a diamond tester?

Yes, it will pass a basic thermal tester because they detect heat, which moissanite conducts well. However, it will not pass a professional electrical tester, as moissanite conducts electricity (unlike diamonds). This is how jewelers reliably tell them apart.

Does moissanite look fake or get cloudy over time?

No. High-quality moissanite will not get cloudy, change color, or lose its sparkle. It is a 9.25 on the Mohs hardness scale (second only to diamond), so it permanently resists scratches and surface dullness that can make other stones look "fake."

Is moissanite a real gemstone or a fake diamond?

Moissanite is a real, distinct gemstone, not a "fake diamond." While it looks similar, it is made of silicon carbide (diamonds are carbon) and has its own unique properties, like superior "fire" (rainbow sparkle). It's a genuine, ethical, and affordable gemstone in its own right.

Why are moissanite chains so much cheaper than diamond chains?

The price difference is due to scarcity. Natural diamonds are rare and mined, which involves high labor and environmental costs. Our moissanite is lab-grown in a controlled, ethical process, making it a sustainable and affordable luxury without the high markup.

What’s the difference between Miami Cuban and Prong Cuban links?

Miami Cuban links are flatter and more tightly interconnected. Prong-set Cuban links often have stones held by visible prongs, sometimes creating a more rounded or intricate look, allowing more light into the stones.

Can I wear my moissanite chain in the shower or every day?

Yes, moissanite itself is incredibly durable (9.25 hardness) and is not harmed by water or daily wear. However, to protect the shine of the metal (like sterling silver or gold) and prevent buildup from soap or lotions, we recommend removing it before showering.

What's the best way to clean a moissanite chain?

The best way to clean your chain is simple. Soak it in a small bowl of warm water with a few drops of mild dish soap for 10-15 minutes. Then, gently scrub the stones and links with a soft-bristled toothbrush. Rinse it well and pat dry with a lint-free cloth.
