No Moissanite is not a “fake” diamond. There is no such thing as a fake diamond, all gemstones have a name. Even lab created diamonds are not fake because they have the same chemical and physical properties as a natural mined diamond. Cubic Zirconia is the cubic crystalline form of zirconium dioxide. Moissanite is comprised of silicon carbide and is its own gemstone.
Does Moissanite ring as a diamond on a diamond tester?
Yes, Moissanite will ring as a diamond on a standard handheld diamond tester. Those testers are using thermal technology to determine what type of stone it is. Moissanite and Diamonds share the same thermal properties which is why it rings as a diamond. There are other handheld testers available that will test stones for moissanite and also jewelry stores have special machines to test stones as well.

Can my jewelry get wet?
The general rule regarding can you wear gold in the shower is to try to avoid it, especially on a frequent basis. Traditionally, and what is most advised, is that your gold jewelry should always be kept dry and stored properly.
