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.

Chinese Zodiac Dog Moissanite Pendant | Gold Plated

About This Product

Loyalty made literal: a chubby, seated puppy in profile anchors this zodiac pendant, ears flopped and nose tipped toward a single round-cut moissanite it seems to nudge forward. The figure sits inside an open round frame that reads as both a coin and a halo, hanging from a cable chain that sits comfortably at the collarbone. The stone does the heavy lifting on sparkle. Moissanite's 2.65 refractive index outpaces diamond's 2.42 for visible fire, and at 9.25 on the Mohs scale it shrugs off the scratches that dull softer stones over years of wear. Graded DEF colorless (Stone Color White) with default VVS clarity, the moissanite stays icy-bright against the warm 22K gold-plated finish layered over a 925 sterling silver core. Spec block — Stone: Moissanite; Cut: Round; Color: DEF colorless; Clarity: VVS; Metal: 925 sterling silver, 22K gold plated; Chain: Cable; Motif: Chinese zodiac dog. Styling note: the playful figural charm leans youthful and sentimental, ideal as a Year-of-the-Dog birth-year keepsake, a dog-lover's everyday piece, or a Lunar New Year gift with a story behind it. Wear it solo for a clean focal point or layer it under a longer chain for contrast in tone. Care: buff gently with a soft cloth, avoid perfume, lotion, and pool chlorine to preserve the gold plating, and store flat in a pouch to stop the chain knotting. Small, warm, and full of personality.
