Moissanite and materials
What is moissanite?
Moissanite is a gemstone made of silicon carbide. Ours is lab-created. It's very hard (9.25 on the Mohs scale, just under diamond's 10), so it stands up to daily wear, and it shows strong brilliance and fire, often more colorful flashes than a diamond.
Is moissanite a diamond?
No. Moissanite is its own gemstone. It's not a natural diamond, a lab-grown diamond, or cubic zirconia (CZ). We'll always label it clearly as moissanite.
What does "ct DEW" mean?
Carat diamond-equivalent weight. Moissanite is lighter than diamond, so we describe a stone by the diamond size it matches. A 6.5mm round moissanite looks like a 1ct diamond, so it's listed as 1ct DEW.
Will it pass a diamond tester?
Basic thermal testers often read moissanite as diamond. Multi-testers that also check electrical conductivity identify it as moissanite. We don't sell on "passes the tester" because we're not pretending it's a diamond. We sell it because it looks great and lasts.
What metal do you use?
925 sterling silver (92.5% pure silver). Most pieces are rhodium plated for a bright white finish and extra tarnish resistance. Each listing says exactly what the piece is.
How do I know my piece is real sterling silver?
Look for the "925" stamp, usually on the clasp, tag or inside the band. Sterling silver isn't magnetic. If you ever have a concern, email us.
Sizing
How do I choose a bracelet size?
Wrap a soft tape measure (or a strip of paper) snugly around your wrist bone and add about ½" for a comfortable fit, or ¾"–1" for a looser fit.
How do I choose a chain length?
As a guide: 16" sits at the base of the neck, 18" at the collarbone, 20" just below it, and 22"–24" mid-chest. Many men wear 20"–22" tennis chains.
How do I find my ring size?
The most reliable way is to get sized at a local jeweler. You can also measure a ring that already fits and compare it to a standard US ring size chart. See our Sizing Guide for more detail.
What if it doesn't fit?
Exchange it within 30 days of delivery, as long as it's unworn and in its original packaging. See our Returns policy.
Orders and shipping
How fast do you ship?
In-stock orders ship from New Jersey with tracking. You'll get a tracking email once it ships.
Where do you ship?
Within the United States for now.
Can I track my order?
Yes. Every order ships with tracking, and the link is in your shipping confirmation email.
Can I order a size or style I don't see?
Some styles (larger Cuban links, some lengths and ring sizes) are available by special order. Email us with what you're looking for.
Returns, care and payment
What is your return policy?
30 days from delivery for unworn items in original packaging, including sale items. Full details are in our Returns policy.
How do I care for and clean my jewelry?
Take it off before swimming, showering, the gym, and putting on lotion or perfume. Clean with warm water, a drop of mild soap and a soft brush, then pat dry. Store each piece in its pouch so pieces don't scratch each other.
What payment methods do you accept?
Major credit and debit cards and Shop Pay at checkout.
Why are your prices lower than fine jewelry stores?
Moissanite and sterling silver cost far less than diamonds and gold, and we sell direct online with no showroom overhead. We price fairly from day one instead of marking up and "discounting."
