Its refractive index (2.65–2.69) is higher than diamond (2.42), meaning it disperses more light and produces more fire — the coloured flashes visible when the stone moves. Moissanite rates 9.25 on the Mohs hardness scale (diamond is 10), making it one of the hardest gemstones available and suitable for daily wear without concern about scratching under normal conditions. The GRA certificate confirms the stone's authenticity and specifications.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eHow to Style It\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA four-claw solitaire pendant is one of the most versatile necklace styles you can own — the clean, geometric setting works across casual and formal looks without feeling out of place in either direction. Wear it solo on a bare neckline for a clean, confident statement, or layer with a longer plain chain below it. Keep the second piece simple so the moissanite pendant remains the focal point.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 18K gold tone pairs naturally with warm neutrals and other gold jewellery. The round brilliant stone catches light in any setting — indoors, outdoors, day or evening — making it a piece that works as hard as you do.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eCare\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMoissanite is extremely durable and does not lose its brilliance over time. The 925 sterling silver chain and setting with 18K gold plating requires more care — remove before showering, swimming, and exercising. Apply perfume and lotion before putting the necklace on, not after. Store in a soft pouch or jewellery box when not wearing. Wipe with a soft dry cloth after wearing. With proper care, the 18K gold plating over sterling silver lasts 1–3 years before showing wear.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cdetails\u003e\u003csummary\u003eWhat is moissanite?\u003c\/summary\u003e\u003cp\u003eMoissanite is a lab-created gemstone originally discovered in a meteorite crater.
