Product info

Can I buy Adamans pieces on other websites? I’ve seen some that look the same

Genuine Adamans pieces can only be bought from www.adjewellery.co.uk. It has come to our attention there are a lot of imitating websites claiming to sell similar pieces, using our images or videos. These, in fact, are scam websites.


Things to consider: 


1. Much lower prices. Imitators tend to lure you in with an attractive price, to make up for credibility, if it's too good to be true it probably is. They'll use a low quality material and/ or plating finish which will significantly affect the longevity and quality of the item.


2. Delivery times that are unbearably long. This indicates the company is dropshipping which will leave you waiting for months to receive your item directly from a factory, usually from China.


3. Unclear and/ or complicated return policies. Dropshipping websites make it very difficult to return your item and will often request that you return it to China which can be costly and risky.

What makes your quality different?

Our gold plated jewellery is 5x PVD plated, which is industry leading, we use the same process that we use in our vermeil pieces. The process is the highest quality plating available. Our gold plated jewellery will last longer than any gold plating you may be used to. Our team is constantly innovating and improving on our current plating processes to ensure our pieces last the longest.

How should I store my jewellery?

Jewellery should be wiped down with a microfibre cloth and kept dry after use. We provide a pouch & box to store your jewellery, these are lined with a tarnish proof microfibre felt. High quality pouches & boxes are always lined with a similar microfibre felt to protect the luster of the gold plated jewellery. If your climate is humid, place a small packet of desiccant crystals inside your storage area. Avoid storing your pieces in direct contact with rubber. Always remove your jewellery when applying any colognes, perfumes or other chemical products. Avoid chlorine, especially at elevated tempatures, as this may cause permeneant discoluariton of your gold jewellery.

Our pieces are 5 times PVD plated in real gold, which is the highest quality plating method available which we also use in our vermeil pieces. Our plating method is industry leading and we are so confident in the production of our gold jewellery that we offer a lifetime warranty.

In certain circumstances we will ship your order separately.

Why was Adamans created?

With a passion to positively affect as many young people as possible Calum Norman created Adamans to satisfy this desire. Calum had an understanding of fashion and found other brands that had a head start were not putting product quality at the forefront of their operations, with this in mind Adamans was born. Working with suppliers and investing in the most advance plating methods available at the time of launch in 2019, Adamans found a balance between cost, product quality and longevity. Since, Adamans has significantly invested in design & brand image to resonate with their audience for a close feeling of community.

Moissanite FAQ: Chains, Tennis Chains & Pendants | Adamans

Basics & Quality

Moissanite FAQ | Why Choose Adamans Moissanite Over Diamond

 

Welcome to the definitive Adamans Moissanite FAQ. Below you’ll find fast, transparent answers (with helpful links) on what moissanite is, how it compares to diamond, and why our pieces are a brilliant choice for everyday wear and special occasions.

Quick browse: Explore our Moissanite Chains, Moissanite Tennis Chains, Moissanite Pendants, and Moissanite Earrings.

What is moissanite?

Moissanite is a lab-grown gemstone made of silicon carbide (SiC). It was first discovered in a meteor crater and is prized for its intense brilliance and fire (rainbow flashes). Moissanite’s refractive index (~2.65–2.69) is higher than diamond’s (~2.42), which is why it looks exceptionally bright—especially in larger stones like our moissanite tennis chains.

Is moissanite a real gemstone?

Yes—moissanite is a genuine gemstone with its own chemical composition and optical properties. It isn’t a fake diamond; it’s a diamond alternative that stands on its own merits for sparkle, durability and value. See our full Moissanite vs Diamond Guide.

Moissanite vs diamond: what’s the difference?

Sparkle & fire: Moissanite’s higher refractive index and dispersion mean more sparkle and colourful fire in most lighting.

Durability: Diamond is the hardest at 10 on the Mohs scale; moissanite is ~9.25, making it incredibly durable for daily wear.

Ethics: Moissanite is lab-grown, reducing environmental and social concerns linked with mining.

Price: You’ll typically get a larger look for less, especially on statement pieces like Cuban chains and pendants.

Why choose Adamans moissanite over diamond?

  • Maximum brilliance-per-pound: Our hand-set moissanite achieves an iced look at a fraction of diamond pricing—perfect for tennis chains and bust-down pendants.
  • Consistency & quality control: Lab-grown stones deliver reliable clarity and cut across sizes, from micro-pavé to large centre stones.
  • Ethical & low-impact: You’re choosing a conflict-free, lab-grown stone.
  • Lifetime peace of mind: Covered by our Lifetime Warranty.
  • Hypoallergenic builds: Available in .925 sterling silver and gold options, finished for daily comfort. See Jewellery Care.

Does moissanite pass a diamond tester?

Some thermal diamond testers can register moissanite as diamond because both conduct heat. Advanced multi-testers can tell them apart. Either way, moissanite isn’t trying to “be” diamond—it’s chosen for its own brilliance, durability and value.

How durable is moissanite?

Moissanite ranks about 9.25/10 on the Mohs scale and resists scratches very well. It’s tougher than most gemstones used in jewellery, making it ideal for everyday chains, rings and pendants.

Will moissanite cloud or lose sparkle?

No—moissanite doesn’t cloud with age. Like any jewellery, it can collect oils and soap film. A quick clean restores full sparkle (see How to Clean).

Is moissanite ethical and sustainable?

Yes. Our stones are lab-grown to minimise mining impact and ensure consistent quality. If you prioritise responsible style, moissanite is a strong choice. Learn more in our Moissanite vs Diamond Guide.

What metal options do you use?

Our pieces are crafted in .925 sterling silver and select gold options, with premium plating/finishes designed for shine and durability. For sensitive skin, see our Jewellery Care and Lifetime Warranty.

Can I shower or work out in moissanite?

Moissanite stones themselves are fine with water and sweat. To keep the metal finish looking fresh long-term, we recommend removing jewellery before heavy chlorine exposure or gym sessions. For daily wear guidance, see Jewellery Care.

How do I care for moissanite jewellery?

Use warm water, a mild soap, and a soft brush, then rinse and pat dry. For chains and tennis pieces, an occasional ultrasonic clean can help maintain that “just iced” look. Full guide: Jewellery Care.

What carat/size should I pick?

Carat weight varies by cut and setting. For tennis chains, choose mm width and length based on the look you want:

  • Subtle daily shine: 3–4mm
  • Statement everyday: 5–6mm
  • Show-stopper: 7mm+

See our Size & Fit Guide and compare looks on the product pages across Moissanite Tennis Chains and Moissanite Chains.

Is there a warranty and returns policy?

Yes—our pieces are covered by a Lifetime Warranty against manufacturing defects. For peace of mind on sizing and style, see Shipping & Returns.

Do you offer custom pieces?

Absolutely. From bespoke pendants (including our iconic Queen’s Head) to fully iced chains, our team can help. Start a brief via Custom Enquiry.

Shipping, taxes & financing

We ship UK & international with tracked options. Duties/taxes depend on destination. We also offer payment options at checkout. Read Shipping & Returns.
