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 Pave Budded Cross Necklace

About This Product

A budded cross worn close enables quiet, everyday devotion, and this pendant delivers it in pave-set Moissanite that catches light from across a room. The open Gothic silhouette carries trefoil tips at each arm, every edge traced in a continuous line of round-brilliant accent stones so the cross reads as a glittering frame around a smooth, polished center. That contrast of bright pave against high-shine metal is what keeps the piece refined rather than flashy. Moissanite earns its place on proof, not adjectives: a 2.65 refractive index throws more fire than diamond's 2.42, near-colorless DEF body and VVS clarity keep each tiny stone clean and white, and 9.25 Mohs hardness means the micro-pave stays crisp through daily layering, collars, and scarves. The pendant rides a fine cable chain with an adjustable extender, so you can set the drop high at the throat or longer over a neckline; an S925 oval tag confirms the sterling base. Choose bright white-gold plating for an icy, contemporary look or warm yellow-gold plating for an heirloom, almost ecclesiastical feel. Expert take: because the cross is petite and motif-forward, it layers beautifully with a longer plain chain or a delicate station necklace, and it reads as unisex, making it an easy confirmation, baptism, or birthday gift. The faith-forward design stays understated enough for office wear yet meaningful enough to never come off. Spec block: pave round-brilliant Moissanite (<0.5ct total, DEF color, VVS clarity, RI 2.65, 9.25 Mohs); 925 sterling silver with 18K white- or yellow-gold plating; budded trefoil cross pendant on adjustable cable chain; approx. 3.4g; unisex.
