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.

Zodiac Rooster Moissanite Pendant | Gold-Plated Silver

About This Product

For anyone born under the Rooster, this pendant carries the sign's reputation for confidence and good timing in a piece you can wear every day. A plump rooster is modeled in raised relief inside an open circular frame, its comb, beak and feathered wing picked out in matte-and-polished detail, with a single round-cut moissanite prong-set at the lower edge so the bird seems to perch beside the light. The stone is genuine lab-grown moissanite rather than cubic zirconia, and the difference shows: a 2.65 refractive index against a diamond's 2.42 gives it brighter, more colorful flashes, while 9.25 Mohs hardness keeps it scratch-resistant through years of wear. A colorless DEF grade reads crisp and white next to the warm metal, and VVS clarity keeps the table clean of visible inclusions. Both frame and motif are 925 sterling silver under a generous 22K gold plating, delivering high-karat warmth at a wearable weight, and a smooth bail lets it ride centered on the included cable chain. Spec block: Stone - Moissanite (round brilliant); Cut - Excellent; Color - DEF colorless; Clarity - VVS; Metal - 925 sterling silver; Plating - 22K gold; Setting - prong solitaire within an open circle frame. Styling note: a fitting gift for those born in 2017, 2005, 1993 or 1981, the round frame layers neatly with a longer chain or stands alone at the collarbone. To keep it bright, buff with a soft cloth after wear, avoid perfume, lotion and chlorinated water, and store it dry and separate so the gold plating stays even and the moissanite keeps its sparkle.
