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.

Moissanite Ankh Cross Pendant | Prong-Set 925 Silver

About This Product

The looped top is the tell: this is an ankh, the Egyptian crux ansata, not a plain Latin cross. A teardrop loop crowns the crossbar and stem, and the whole silhouette is outlined in prong-set round moissanite that traces the symbol like a line of light. Moissanite earns its place here on the numbers — a 2.65 refractive index throws noticeably more fire than diamond's 2.42, and 9.25 Mohs hardness keeps each stone crisp through years of wear. Stones are DEF colorless with VVS clarity, so the outline reads white and clean from across a room. Spec block: - Stone: Moissanite (DEF colorless, VVS) - Cut: Round brilliant - Motif: Ankh / Egyptian looped cross - Metal: 925 sterling silver - Plating: White gold or yellow gold - Setting: Four-prong, stone-by-stone outline - Chain: Cable link Styling note: the ankh carries a meaning of life and continuity, which makes it a thoughtful gift beyond pure ornament. Because the design is an open outline rather than a solid plate, it stays light on the neck and layers cleanly under or over other chains. Wear it on a mid-length chain so the loop sits just below the collarbone. Keep it bright by wiping the stones with a soft, dry cloth and storing it away from harder pieces that could scratch the plating; an occasional gentle brush behind the prongs clears the dust that dulls fire over time. Expert take: choose white-gold plating to let the moissanite read its coolest and whitest, or yellow gold to lean into the ancient-Egyptian origin of the symbol for a warmer, more talismanic feel. A distinctive alternative to the standard cross for anyone who wants symbolism with an edge.
