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 | Pave Silver

About This Product

Worn close to the throat, this ankh pendant turns an ancient symbol of life into a full-fire moissanite statement. The looped-top cross is set shoulder-to-shoulder with round-brilliant moissanite, so every line of the figure throws light rather than reading as flat metal. Moissanite carries a refractive index of 2.65 against diamond's 2.42, which is why the pave looks brighter and more rainbow-edged than cubic zirconia or a plain polished cross. The stones are DEF colorless (Stone Color White) at VVS clarity, excellent-cut round brilliants roughly 1.5-2mm each across the pave field, prong-held in continuous rows along the loop, the crossbar and the descending shaft. At 9.25 on the Mohs scale the moissanite resists the daily scuffs an everyday pendant collects. The pendant hangs from a substantial silver-tone curb chain that suits the iced-out, unisex look of the piece. Spec block: Stone Moissanite; Cut Round Brilliant; Color DEF (White); Clarity VVS; Metal 925 sterling silver; Plating choice of white (rhodium-look) or yellow gold; Setting shared-prong pave. Styling note: an ankh reads as both spiritual and architectural, so it layers cleanly over a crew tee or a collared shirt and pairs well with a second shorter chain for a stacked, modern look. Care is simple: wipe with a soft cloth after wear, keep it away from perfume and chlorine, and store it flat so the pave rows stay seated. Choose white plating for a cool icy finish or yellow for a warmer, vintage-gold tone against the colorless stones. Sized as a true statement pendant rather than a tiny charm, it reads clearly at conversation distance and earns its place as a focal piece in a layered necklace stack.
