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.

Two-Tone X-Motif Moissanite Cross Necklace

About This Product

A cross with conviction and a couture edge. The silver body is pave-set with a vertical and horizontal line of round-brilliant moissanite, each accent stone firing with a 2.65 refractive index that pushes more brilliance and fire than a diamond's 2.42. Crossing the body are five sculpted gold X-motif wraps, the detail that gives this piece its two-tone contrast and an unmistakably modern silhouette. The graduated rows of stones draw the eye down the length of the cross while the warm gold X's break up the cool silver, so the pendant catches light from every angle rather than reading as a flat religious charm. Crafted in 925 sterling silver with two-tone 18K white and yellow gold plating, it hangs from a polished cable chain that lies flat against the collarbone. Stylist take: it is deliberately unisex and built to layer. Wear it solo on a shorter chain for a clean focal point, or stack it over a longer plain chain to add the gold tone into a silver-heavy layered look. The hip-hop-leaning proportions read well on a wider neckline, while the DEF colorless, VVS-clarity stones keep it refined enough for the office or a christening gift. Moissanite rates 9.25 on the Mohs scale, so the surface resists the everyday scuffs that dull cheaper crystal pendants, and the rhodium-finish plating holds its shine with simple wipe-downs. A meaningful symbol with genuine gemstone presence, made to be worn daily rather than saved for Sundays. Specs: 925 sterling silver, two-tone 18K white & yellow gold plating; round-brilliant moissanite, DEF colorless, VVS clarity, under 0.5ct DEW total; cable chain.
