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 Pendant | Gold

About This Product

A cheerful cartoon ox — horns, thumbs-up and all — hugs a single round brilliant moissanite at the base of this open-circle pendant, turning a Year-of-the-Ox keepsake into something that actually sparkles. The gold-plated frame keeps the figure suspended cleanly inside the ring, and the gemstone does the heavy optical work: at a 2.65 refractive index versus 2.42 for diamond, moissanite throws far more fire than the plain cubic zirconia used on most zodiac charms. The Ox stands for diligence, steadiness and honesty, which makes this a thoughtful piece for anyone born in an Ox year or drawn to that symbolism. Spec block: Stone: Moissanite (one round brilliant) Cut: Round brilliant Color: DEF colorless Clarity: VVS Metal: 925 sterling silver Plating: 22K gold Setting: Four-prong, held by the ox figure Chain: Cable Styling note: the warm 22K-gold tone reads richer than standard gold plating and pairs naturally with other yellow-gold layers, though it stands well on its own as a meaning-led pendant. It works as a birthday or Lunar New Year gift without leaning costume — the real moissanite keeps it grown-up. To protect the plating, keep it away from perfume and lotion, wipe with a soft dry cloth after wear, and store it flat in a pouch. The moissanite itself, at 9.25 on the Mohs scale, will stay clear and bright through years of daily wear.
