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 Ox Moissanite Necklace | 22K Gold 925 Silver

About This Product

Set inside an open round frame, a sculpted ox head - short curved horns, broad muzzle, gentle expression - sits above a single round-brilliant moissanite that catches the light from the base of the circle. The contrast of warm matte-gold sculpting against the cool brilliance of the colorless stone is the whole appeal: a culturally meaningful charm that still reads as fine jewelry. The moissanite is DEF colorless (Stone Color White) at VVS clarity, cut to an excellent round-brilliant grade. Its 2.65 refractive index produces more fire than a 2.42 diamond, and at 9.25 on the Mohs scale it stays bright through daily wear. The pendant is 925 sterling silver finished in premium 22K gold plating for that deep, traditional gold tone, hung from a matching cable chain. Spec block: Stone - Moissanite (round brilliant); Cut - Excellent; Color - DEF colorless; Clarity - VVS; Metal - 925 sterling silver; Plating - 22K gold; Setting - prong-set solitaire within an open round frame. Styling note: the unisex round silhouette wears well on a shorter or a longer chain, and the warm 22K tone pairs naturally with other gold-tone pieces. The Ox represents diligence, strength, and steady fortune in Chinese astrology, which makes this a pointed gift for anyone born in an Ox year or anyone who values the qualities it stands for. Care is simple - keep the plating away from perfume and abrasives, wipe with a soft cloth, and store in a pouch to preserve the gold finish. An heirloom-feel piece that carries real meaning.
