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 Pig Moissanite Necklace | Gold 1ct

About This Product

Year of the Pig, captured in a warm gold circle: this pendant frames a sculpted winged pig's head inside an open round halo, with a 1ct round-brilliant moissanite cradled at the base like a luminous offering. Moissanite drives the brilliance, its 2.65 refractive index tops diamond's 2.42, so the centre stone fires with extra rainbow flash against the matte gold relief. The stone is DEF colorless (Stone Color White) at VVS clarity and sits at 9.25 on the Mohs scale, hard enough to shrug off everyday knocks. The pig motif, a symbol of prosperity and abundance in Chinese tradition, is rendered in soft-brushed detail that contrasts the high-polish moissanite for an eye-catching mixed-finish look. Spec block: Stone: Moissanite, 1ct DEW Cut: Round brilliant Color: DEF colorless (White) Clarity: VVS Metal: 925 sterling silver, 22K gold plated Chain: Cable Setting: Prong The 22K gold plating over solid 925 sterling silver gives a rich yellow-gold warmth without the price of solid gold, and the cable chain keeps the pendant centred. Styling tip: the warm gold tone flatters deeper and olive skin tones and pairs naturally with other gold-plated layers, or wear it solo as a birth-year talisman. A standout gift for anyone born in a Pig year or a lover of meaningful, culturally rooted jewelry. Care is easy, avoid contact with perfume and lotion, wipe gently with a soft dry cloth, and store separately so the plating stays bright and the moissanite keeps its sparkle.
