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.

Virgo Zodiac Moissanite Pendant | Pavé Sterling Silver

About This Product

Born under the sign of the maiden? This Virgo pendant traces the zodiac's curling glyph in micro-pavé moissanite, so your star sign sparkles every time you move. The glyph itself is the draw: a polished 925 sterling silver symbol set edge-to-edge with tiny round-cut moissanite, each stone hand-set into the contours of the maiden's looping tail. Moissanite is the reason it throws so much light. With a refractive index of 2.65 against a diamond's 2.42, the pavé fires back more rainbow flash than the stone size alone suggests, while a 9.25 Mohs hardness keeps every facet crisp through daily wear, layering, and the occasional knock. The stones are graded DEF colorless (Stone Color White) at VVS clarity, so the silver reads bright rather than grey. Spec block — Stone: Moissanite; Cut: round brilliant pavé; Color: DEF colorless; Clarity: VVS; Metal: 925 sterling silver; Chain: cable; Setting: micro-pavé. Styling note: a zodiac glyph this compact is built for stacking — wear it solo on a short chain to sit at the collarbone, or layer it over a longer plain chain for that off-set astrology look. It also makes an easy, personal birthday gift for any Virgo (born roughly August 23 to September 22). Care is simple: moissanite shrugs off scratches, but the sterling silver behaves best with an occasional polish-cloth buff and a night in the jewelry box rather than the shower. Lobster-clasp closure on a lightweight cable chain that stays put without weighing down the neckline.
