The Decade Guarantee
10 years
No claim fee. No return-first. Moissanite covered for a decade.
Worn, it reads as restraint — not noise.
The category shouts in bright yellow gold. This doesn't. Matte black is a position: you want the ice, you don't want to be read as loud.
At the collar or on the wrist, it lands as intent — the understated flex of someone who chose the quieter signal on purpose.
Graded for clarity, then photographed under a single off-axis specular light so the fire reads as proof, not gloss.
A different surface chemistry than the bright-gold-bonded process the field runs on — it won't fade or tarnish to brass.
Hold the tester to it yourself — one ships in the box. It passes. We still label it moissanite, because that's exactly what it is.
Every piece carries its own atelier number — authenticity you can verify, not a story you have to take on faith.
Ten years on fade, tarnish, and stone-loss. No claim fee. No return-first.
Questions, answered
Is moissanite fake?
No. Moissanite is its own stone — more fire than the one everyone compares it to, at a fraction of the cost. We label every piece moissanite, because that's exactly what it is.
Will the black coating wear off?
The matte-black PVD is a surface chemistry bonded to 925 sterling, not a paint or plating that flakes. Fade and tarnish are covered for ten years under the Decade Guarantee.
How do I get the size right?
Chains run 18–22 inches. A 20-inch sits right at the collarbone on most men; size up an inch or two for a looser drape over a layer.
What happens after I click buy?
You continue to a secure checkout to finish the order. Your piece ships from the US, packed with its diamond tester and the Decade Guarantee card — test it yourself the day it arrives.
Why moissanite, and not the real thing?
Because the markup on the 'real thing' buys you a receipt, not more presence on the wrist. Matte black, VVS-grade moissanite, and a serialized atelier number get you the iced silhouette people actually read — at a price that isn't a flex about your bank account.
