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 Moissanite Gothic Cross Pendant | 925 Silver

About This Product

Worn close to the chest, this gothic cross reads as a heavyweight statement rather than a delicate charm. The pendant is a flared fleur-de-lis cross in solid 925 sterling silver, its entire surface filled with dense raised scrollwork that catches and scatters light across every edge. Moissanite is the stone of choice across this collection for a reason: at a refractive index of 2.65 it out-sparkles diamond's 2.42, and at 9.25 on the Mohs scale it shrugs off the daily knocks a chest-worn pendant takes. Color sits in the DEF colorless range and clarity at VVS, so any accent stones stay bright and eye-clean. Spec block: - Stone: Moissanite (DEF colorless, VVS) - Cut: Round accents - Motif: Gothic fleur-de-lis cross, engraved relief - Metal: 925 sterling silver - Plating: White gold or yellow gold - Setting: Engraved relief surface - Chain: Cable link Styling note: the broad flared arms and patterned face make this a layering anchor — pair it on a slightly shorter chain over a crew neck, or let it hang solo against an open collar. The yellow-gold finish warms the engraving for a vintage feel, while the white-gold reads cooler and more modern. Expert take: the trefoil-tipped arms and pointed foot place this firmly in the gothic-revival tradition, where the cross is meant to read as architecture for the body rather than a quiet token — the engraving does the work that set stones do on a pavé piece, throwing a flickering, low-shine sparkle that holds up under movement. Care is simple: wipe with a soft cloth after wear and store flat to keep the textured surface from snagging, and avoid lotions or sprays directly on the plating so the relief stays sharp. A substantial faith-and-fashion piece built to be seen, not whispered.
