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.

Men's Pave Moissanite Cross Pendant | Iced 925 Silver

About This Product

Row upon row of pave-set round moissanite fills the broad arms of this Latin cross pendant, a fully-iced 925 sterling silver piece built for a substantial, light-catching presence on the chest. Each accent stone is DEF colorless with VVS clarity, and moissanite's 2.65 refractive index - meaningfully above a diamond's 2.42 - is what lets a densely-set cross like this read brilliant-white rather than grey under everyday lighting. The cross is a clean, bold Latin form with squared terminals and a matching pave bail, so the sparkle runs unbroken from the chain down to the foot. Spec block - Stone: moissanite (round brilliant pave field, DEF/White, VVS, 9.25 Mohs); Cut: round; Metal: 925 sterling silver; Plating: white or yellow gold (variant); Setting: multi-row pave; Chain: cable. At 9.25 Mohs the closely-packed stones resist the edge-chipping and surface frosting that plague softer cubic-zirconia crosses worn against collars and seatbelts. Styling note: this is a statement-scale men's piece - let it hang solo on a heavier cable or curb chain rather than competing in a layered stack, and a v-neck or open collar shows the full cross to best effect. Care is minimal: a soft-brush clean to lift residue from between the pave rows, then dry storage away from cologne and chlorine to keep the white-gold finish from clouding. The multi-row setting bounces light between adjacent stones, giving the whole cross a continuous shimmer instead of isolated points of fire - the look that earns a fully-iced cross its weight.
