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 Scorpio Zodiac Pendant | Pave Silver

About This Product

Cut into the unmistakable Scorpio glyph - the stylized M with a barbed, arrow-tipped tail - this pendant gives the most intense sign of the zodiac a piece with real fire. The symbol is rendered as a slim silver outline filled edge-to-edge with pave moissanite, so the whole shape glitters rather than relying on engraving. Moissanite's 2.65 refractive index runs well above diamond's 2.42, which is why even the tiny accent stones along the tail flash with rainbow light. The stones are DEF colorless (Stone Color White) at VVS clarity, excellent-cut round brilliants under 1.5mm, bead-set in a single dense channel that traces the glyph from the first hump to the upturned sting. A polished silver-tone bail and delicate cable chain keep the focus on the symbol. With moissanite sitting at 9.25 on the Mohs scale, this everyday zodiac piece shrugs off the knocks a daily-worn pendant takes. Spec block: Stone Moissanite; Cut Round Brilliant; Color DEF (White); Clarity VVS; Metal 925 sterling silver; Setting bead-set pave. Styling note: a zodiac glyph is personal without being loud - wear it solo for a clean, meaningful look, or layer it with a birthstone or initial piece for a curated stack. It also makes an easy, thoughtful gift for the Scorpio in your life (October 23 to November 21). Care is simple: wipe with a soft cloth, keep it clear of perfume and chlorine, and store it flat so the pave stays seated along the tail and humps of the symbol. The compact silhouette layers neatly with a longer chain, letting the Scorpio glyph sit as the lower charm in a two-tier stack.
