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 Necklace | Silver

About This Product

Built around the looped ankh - the Egyptian key-of-life cross - this pendant traces the full symbol in prong-set round moissanite, from the teardrop loop at the top through the horizontal bar and down the vertical stem. Setting the entire outline in stones rather than a few accents means light fires along every edge of the symbol, giving the ankh a continuous line of brilliance. Moissanite supplies that fire at a 2.65 refractive index, noticeably above a diamond's 2.42, for a flash that is bright and faintly rainbow rather than flat. The stones are DEF colorless with VVS clarity, each lifted in a four-prong sterling silver basket, and the pendant hangs from a polished bail on a twisted rope-style chain. Spec block: Stone - Moissanite; Cut - Round brilliant; Color - DEF colorless; Clarity - VVS; Metal - 925 Sterling Silver; Plating - White or Yellow Gold tone; Setting - Four-prong outlined ankh. At 9.25 on the Mohs scale moissanite resists everyday abrasion, so the open loop and arms keep their sparkle through regular wear. Styling tip: the ankh reads as a meaningful, slightly bolder alternative to a plain cross - wear the white gold tone for a cool, modern finish or the yellow gold tone for a warmer, vintage feel, on a 18-22 inch chain for a centered drop on a crewneck or open collar. Care is straightforward - wipe with a soft cloth, store flat to keep the open loop from snagging other chains, and avoid chlorine and harsh cleaners to protect the plating. A distinctive, unisex symbol of life and protection rendered in full moissanite sparkle.
