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 Tiger Moissanite Pendant | Gold-Plated Silver

About This Product

Born in the Year of the Tiger? This pendant turns that birthright into a wearable talisman. A seated tiger cub is sculpted in three-dimensional relief inside an open circular frame, its whiskered face and rounded ears rendered in crisp detail, while a single round-cut moissanite sits prong-set at the base where the tiger appears to cradle it. The stone is real lab-grown moissanite, not cubic zirconia: it carries a 2.65 refractive index versus a diamond's 2.42, so it throws noticeably more rainbow fire under light, and at 9.25 on the Mohs scale it shrugs off the daily knocks that scratch softer stones. The colorless DEF grade keeps the center bright and icy against the warm gold, and VVS clarity means no inclusions distract the eye. The frame and motif are cast in 925 sterling silver finished with a rich 22K gold plating for a high-karat glow without solid-gold weight. A polished bail threads onto the included cable chain so the pendant hangs centered. 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: this reads as a meaningful gift for anyone born in 2010, 1998, 1986 or 1974, and the round-frame silhouette layers cleanly over a crew neckline or beneath an open collar. Care is simple - wipe with a soft cloth, keep it away from perfume and chlorine, and store it dry to protect the gold plating and keep the moissanite flashing.
