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.

Twisted Cross Moissanite Pendant Necklace | 925 Silver

About This Product

A faith symbol reimagined with movement, this cross pendant is formed from two slender bands that twist past one another where the arms meet, so the silhouette reads as a cross from the front yet shifts and catches light as you turn. One band is left high-polished and smooth; the other is channelled with a continuous line of pavé-set round moissanite, so light bounces between the mirror-bright metal and the open fire of the stones. Each moissanite is graded DEF colorless and VVS clarity, with a 2.65 refractive index versus 2.42 for diamond, which is why the accents flash with noticeably more brilliance than cubic zirconia under the same lighting. At 9.25 on the Mohs scale the stones resist the scuffs and clouding that dull softer simulants, so the line of pavé stays crisp through daily wear. The pendant is cast in 925 sterling silver and finished in bright white-gold-tone plating, then hung from a fine cable chain that lets it sit cleanly at the collarbone. Styling note: the openwork, twisting form keeps this lighter and more contemporary than a solid block cross, so it layers easily over a higher pendant or a short beaded chain without looking heavy, and reads equally well with a crew neckline or an open collar. The total moissanite weight is under 0.5ct DEW, spread across the pavé as small round accents rather than one center stone, which is what gives the arms their even, all-over shimmer. A quiet, modern piece for everyday faith wear or a meaningful gift. Specs: 925 sterling silver, white-gold-tone plating; pavé round moissanite, DEF / VVS, <0.5ct DEW total; cable chain; pendant approx. 3.2g.
