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.

3mm Moissanite Cross Pendant | Dainty 925 Silver

About This Product

Scaled down to a slim, everyday silhouette, this Latin cross is built from a row of 3mm round moissanite stones, each cradled in its own prong setting so the arms read as a delicate line of light rather than a solid bar. The smaller stone size keeps the pendant understated enough for layering or daily wear while still throwing real sparkle: moissanite's 2.65 refractive index outshines diamond's 2.42, and at 9.25 on the Mohs scale the exposed stones resist the scuffs of constant wear. DEF colorless grading and VVS clarity keep every stone bright white and clean to the eye. Spec block: - Stone: Moissanite (DEF colorless, VVS) - Cut: Round brilliant - Size: 3mm per stone - Metal: 925 sterling silver - Plating: White gold or yellow gold - Setting: Prong - Chain: Cable link Styling note: the dainty 3mm scale makes this the easy-to-wear member of the cross family — slim enough to disappear under a collar yet sparkle when it catches the light, and an ideal first faith piece or a subtle layering chain alongside a longer pendant. White-gold plating reads modern and cool; yellow gold gives it a softer, classic warmth. Keep it looking new by wiping the stones with a soft cloth after wear, rinsing occasionally in mild soapy water, and storing it flat and separate so the thin plated arms stay scratch-free. Expert take: 3mm is the layering size — small enough that it never competes with a longer statement pendant, yet the brilliant-cut moissanite still flashes when you move, so it earns its place even worn alone. It makes an easy gift for a first communion, a christening keepsake, or anyone building a delicate everyday stack.
