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.

Vintage Gothic Cross Moissanite Pendant | 925 Silver

About This Product

A flared fleur-tipped gothic cross anchors this pendant, its central 4mm round moissanite (DEF colorless, VVS) flanked by a pave channel of accent stones running the full vertical and horizontal arms plus the bail. Moissanite refracts at 2.65 versus a diamond's 2.42, so the white fire reads brighter against the high-polish silver than a diamond of the same size. The cross terminals splay into pointed fleur-de-lis tips, giving an heirloom, old-world silhouette rather than a plain Latin bar. Spec block - Stone: moissanite (4.0mm round center, DEF/White, VVS clarity, 9.25 Mohs); Cut: round brilliant; Metal: 925 sterling silver; Plating: white or yellow gold (variant); Setting: pave channel with a prong-set center; Chain: cable. The 9.25 Mohs hardness sits just below sapphire, so the surface resists the scuffs that dull softer simulants on a chain worn daily. Styling note: the flared-terminal cross reads equally as menswear-leaning layering piece or a statement solitaire-and-pave pendant for a v-neck; pair it on a longer cable for an over-shirt drop or choke it up for a collar finish. Care is low-effort - wipe with a soft cloth after wear and keep it off lotions and chlorine to preserve the rhodium-bright finish on the white-gold variant. Because the center stone is prong-lifted above the pave field, light enters from the side as well as the face, which is what produces the cross's signature flash when it catches a light source. A considered choice for confirmation, a faith gift, or everyday gothic-romantic layering, and the dual white and yellow gold variants let you match it to whichever metal tones already dominate your jewelry box without buying twice.
