Moissanite Cross Pendant Necklace

Moissanite is a sustainable, lab-created gemstone that shines with more fire than diamond, offering brilliance and clarity that endures. With 11 stones reflecting light from every angle and a 9.25 Mohs hardness for lasting durability, this cross pendant embodies quiet elegance and meaningful symbolism for daily wear.

Yes. Moissanite is highly durable, and water will not harm the stone. The 18K gold plating with its protective finish also resists fading when wet.

However, advanced multi-mode testers used by jewelers can distinguish moissanite from natural diamond — which is expected, as moissanite is its own unique and brilliant gemstone.
