Is moissanite a real diamond?

Moissanite is not a diamond—it's a distinct gemstone with its own unique properties. Originally discovered in a meteor crater in 1893, today's moissanite is lab-created. It actually has more brilliance and fire than diamonds due to its higher refractive index (2.65 vs 2.42), while being nearly as hard (9.25 vs 10 on the Mohs scale).

Will moissanite pass a diamond tester?

Standard diamond testers measure thermal conductivity, and moissanite often passes these tests because both stones conduct heat similarly. Advanced testers that measure electrical conductivity can distinguish between them. We believe in transparency—our moissanite is beautiful in its own right.

Does moissanite get cloudy over time?

No, moissanite does not get cloudy, lose its sparkle, or change color over time. It's a stable, durable gemstone that maintains its brilliance for a lifetime with proper care. Unlike some simulants, moissanite is highly resistant to scratching, heat, and everyday chemicals.

Can I wear moissanite jewelry every day?

Absolutely! With a hardness of 9.25 on the Mohs scale (second only to diamond), moissanite is extremely durable and perfect for everyday wear, including engagement rings. We recommend removing jewelry during activities involving harsh chemicals or extreme impact.

What is your return policy?

We offer a 90-day worry-free return policy. If you're not 100% satisfied with your purchase, you can return it within 90 days for a full refund. All our moissanite jewelry also comes with a lifetime warranty covering manufacturing defects and stone clouding.

1ct Moissanite Bicycle Pendant Necklace | 925 Silver

About This Product

This bicycle pendant turns a sporty silhouette into a real moissanite showpiece: the front wheel is a 1ct DEW (6.5mm) round brilliant-cut moissanite, free-set so it spins light from every facet while the open-frame bicycle reads instantly even at pendant scale. Two pave accent stones mark the handlebar stem and the bottom-bracket joint, and the rear wheel is rendered as a finely spoked sterling-silver wheel for true cyclist-detail balance. The center stone is graded DEF colorless with VVS clarity, so it shows no warm tint against the white-gold-plated frame. Moissanite's 2.65 refractive index, versus 2.42 for diamond, is what produces the visibly higher fire you see flashing off the front wheel, and at 9.25 on the Mohs scale it resists the scratches and scuffs a daily pendant collects. The frame itself is solid 925 sterling silver finished in white gold plating for a bright, rhodium-like sheen that stays cool and neutral rather than yellowing over time. Styling note: because the moissanite sits low as the front wheel, this pendant layers beautifully over a 16-to-18 inch shorter chain, letting the bicycle land just below the collarbone where the stone catches the most light. It makes a pointed, personal gift for a road cyclist, a spin-class regular, or anyone who simply rides for the freedom of it, and the neutral white metal pairs cleanly with both silver and platinum-tone layering stacks. Specs: 1ct DEW (6.5mm) round brilliant moissanite, DEF color, VVS clarity, RI 2.65, 9.25 Mohs; 925 sterling silver, white gold plated; adjustable cable chain with spring-ring clasp.
