Moissanite Earrings

Is moissanite a luxury?

One of the best things about moissanite is that it looks much more expensive than it actually is. This is why it's common to assume it's luxurious.

In very rare cases, moissanite will occur naturally. Otherwise, it is crafted in a lab artificially. Thus, obtaining moissanite isn't nearly as resource-intensive as traditional diamonds.

Mined diamonds are also bad for the environment, making moissanite an affordable and environmentally conscious choice.

Having said this, moissanite prices vary depending on several factors, including cut and colour. If you prefer a necklace with a big moissanite stone, prepare to pay more than for two moissanite stud earrings.

Our Smile Moissanite Stud Earrings are simple yet showcase exceptional brilliance.

What is moissanite in jewellery?

Moissanite can be made into all sorts of jewellery, from earrings to bracelets and much more. Even though it only gained traction in the last 20 years or so, it is getting increasingly popular.

As it is often artificially made, moissanite comes in various colours and sizes. You can opt for an elegant pair of silver earrings or have a dazzling display of yellow stones. Whatever your personal style, the versatility of moissanite jewellery is suitable for any occasion.

We all know how expensive weddings are, so the thought of adding a big diamond ring into the equation is dizzying. To counter this, lots of brides have fallen in love with moissanite jewellery as it has an unparalleled beauty with stones at a similar lower price point.

Want a rose gold necklace with stones that sparkle? Or perhaps you're looking for a perfect pair of long drop earrings? Big, small, simple, bold, you can incorporate moissanite into your collection with ease.

Are moissanite earrings good quality?

In short, yes, because moissanite has to pass a test set by professional graders. If it scores any less than 'very good', it won't be sold.

A real diamond is strong and scores 10 on the Mohs scale, making it the hardest natural stone in the world. However, moissanite isn't close behind, with a score of 9.25.

This adds to why moissanite is a popular alternative to diamonds in jewellery, as it has the same exceptional sparkle without sacrificing durability.

Can you shower with moissanite jewellery?

As durable as moissanite is, it's not invincible when it comes to water. This is especially true if you are using harsh chemicals in the shower, such as body lotion and shampoo. Because of this, it is recommended that you remove your jewellery before you step into the shower.

Don't panic if you forget before it's too late; your moissanite jewellery should be fine as long as you don't repeatedly shower with it on. Daily use is also generally fine, including washing hands or sweating when working out.

Do moissanite earrings tarnish?

Metal jewellery tarnishes when it comes into contact with day-to-day things such as oil, sweat, and perfume. As moissanite is a different material, it does not tarnish.

However, you should still practice proper care to ensure it keeps its stunning sparkle for years to come. Use a mild soap to clean the earrings, and don't wear them in the shower or when swimming.
