At 3.4g, it's lightweight enough for all-day wear without any heavy pull. Nickel-free, lead-free, and unisex in design. Select your stone size from the variant options above.

1CT vs. 2CT — Which to Choose
The 1CT stone is the more versatile everyday option — significant enough to be noticed and impressive up close, but proportioned for daily wear without feeling oversized. It's the right choice if you want a piece that works across casual and dressed-up looks.
The 2CT is a statement piece. It has noticeably more visual presence and produces more light return — the fire and brilliance are more immediately visible from a distance. It's the right choice for occasions, gifting, or if you simply prefer a bolder look. Priced higher to reflect the larger stone.
Moissanite vs. Diamond — What to Know
Moissanite is a lab-created gemstone with optical properties that rival and in some ways exceed diamond. 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.
How to Style It
A round solitaire pendant works as a standalone piece or layered with a longer plain chain below it. Wear it solo on a bare neckline for a clean, confident statement — the moissanite stone does all the work. For a layered look, keep the second piece simple and longer so the pendant remains the focal point.
The sterling silver finish pairs naturally with cool-toned outfits and other silver or white gold pieces. The unisex design means it works equally well as a men's or women's piece — for men, wear it solo on a bare neckline; for women, it works solo or layered.
Care
Moissanite is extremely durable and does not lose its brilliance over time. The 925 sterling silver chain and setting can tarnish with prolonged exposure to moisture and chemicals. Remove before showering, swimming, and exercising. Apply perfume and lotion before putting the necklace on. Store in a soft pouch or jewellery box when not wearing. Clean the stone occasionally with a soft cloth or mild soap and water to maintain its brilliance.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between 1CT and 2CT?
The 1CT stone is proportioned for everyday wear — significant presence without being oversized. The 2CT is a bolder statement piece with noticeably more visual impact and light return. Both use the same round brilliant cut and claw setting. Select your preferred size from the variant options above.
What is moissanite?
Moissanite is a lab-created gemstone with optical properties that rival diamond — a higher refractive index, exceptional hardness (9.25 Mohs), and near-colourless appearance. It's a genuine gemstone, not a simulant like cubic zirconia.
Is moissanite the same as cubic zirconia?
No. Moissanite is significantly harder (9.25 vs 8.5 Mohs), has a higher refractive index, and maintains its brilliance over time. CZ can become cloudy with wear; moissanite does not.
Is this hypoallergenic?
Yes — nickel-free and lead-free. The 925 sterling silver base is naturally hypoallergenic and safe for sensitive skin.
Is this suitable for daily wear?
Yes. Moissanite is one of the hardest gemstones available (9.25 Mohs) and is highly resistant to scratching. The lightweight 3.4g construction makes it comfortable for extended daily wear. Remove before showering and swimming to maintain the sterling silver finish.
Is this a good gift?
Yes — a moissanite solitaire pendant in sterling silver is a significant and meaningful jewellery gift. Available in 1CT and 2CT to suit different preferences and budgets. Works for engagements, anniversaries, birthdays, and any occasion where you want to give something genuinely impressive.
