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.

5mm Moissanite Cross Pendant | Prong-Set 925 Silver

About This Product

Eleven round moissanite stones laid corner to corner form this classic Latin cross, each one held in its own four-prong basket so light reaches the stone from every side. The result is a cross that looks like a continuous line of brilliance rather than a flat plate. At 5mm, the stones are large enough to read clearly at conversational distance, and moissanite's 2.65 refractive index sends back more fire than a diamond's 2.42 at a fraction of the cost. Hardness of 9.25 on the Mohs scale means the exposed stones hold up to everyday wear, and DEF colorless grading with VVS clarity keeps the whole cross bright white and eye-clean. Spec block: - Stone: Moissanite (DEF colorless, VVS) - Cut: Round brilliant - Size: 5mm per stone - Metal: 925 sterling silver - Plating: White gold or yellow gold - Setting: Four-prong - Chain: Cable link Styling note: the open prong-set construction lets the cross sit lighter and sparkle harder than a pavé slab of the same outline. White-gold plating keeps the look crisp and contemporary; yellow gold warms it for a more traditional, heirloom feel. This is a versatile piece for daily faith wear or a milestone gift like a confirmation or baptism. To keep the stones flashing, rinse occasionally in warm water with a drop of mild soap, brush gently behind the prongs where dust collects, and pat dry. Store separately so the plating stays unscratched. Expert take: at 5mm the round stones sit just past the point where a cross stops being subtle and starts catching the eye across a room — a sweet spot if you want presence without bulk, and the prong baskets keep each stone open at the back so light passes through instead of dead-ending against metal. It is a piece that flatters both a tailored shirt and a casual layered look.
