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 Sheep Moissanite Pendant | Gold-Plated Silver

About This Product

Those born in the Year of the Sheep are known for kindness and creativity, and this pendant gives that sign a graceful form to wear. A curly-fleeced sheep is sculpted in detailed relief inside an open circular frame, its coiled wool and gentle face rendered with real texture, while a single round-cut moissanite sits prong-set at the base like an offering the sheep holds close. The stone is genuine lab-grown moissanite rather than cubic zirconia: a 2.65 refractive index versus a diamond's 2.42 gives it brighter, more colorful fire, and 9.25 Mohs hardness keeps it scratch-resistant through everyday wear. A DEF colorless grade keeps the center crisp and white against the warm gold, and VVS clarity means inclusions stay out of sight. The frame and motif are 925 sterling silver under a lavish 22K gold plating for high-karat warmth at a comfortable weight, finished with a smooth bail that lets the pendant sit 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 heartfelt gift for anyone born in 2015, 2003, 1991 or 1979, the round frame layers well with a longer pendant or wears solo at the throat. Maintain its shine by buffing with a soft cloth after wear, keeping it away from perfume, lotion and chlorine, and storing it dry and separate so the gold plating stays even and the moissanite holds its sparkle.
