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.

Leo Zodiac Moissanite Pendant | Sterling Silver

About This Product

Born under the lion's sign? This pendant traces the Leo glyph in a continuous looping line, every curve of the symbol outlined in micro-set moissanite for a charm that reads as astrology first and sparkle a close second. The stones are round-cut moissanite, a lab-grown gem with a refractive index of 2.65 that throws noticeably more fire than diamond's 2.42, so the pave catches light from across a room. At 9.25 on the Mohs scale it shrugs off the daily knocks an everyday necklace takes. The colorless DEF grade keeps each accent stone bright white against the silver, while VVS clarity means no inclusions interrupt the line of the glyph. Built on 925 sterling silver with a cable chain, the piece stays featherlight for layering or wearing solo at the collarbone. Spec block: Stone - moissanite (round accents); Cut - round brilliant; Color - DEF colorless; Clarity - VVS; Metal - 925 sterling silver; Chain - cable; Setting - pave/micro-prong. Styling note: a zodiac charm is the easy personal-gift win because it needs no sizing and no second-guessing the recipient's taste; layer it with a longer plain chain to let the symbol sit as the focal point. Care is simple - wipe with a soft cloth after wear, keep it away from perfume and chlorine, and store flat so the chain does not knot. A meaningful July-August birthday or Leo-season gift that looks far richer than its price, and an easy entry point into the personalized-jewelry trend without committing to an engraving.
