Frequently Asked Questions
Do antique cut moissanite pendants sparkle like diamonds?
Yes, and often even more. Moissanite has higher fire than diamonds, which means it reflects more rainbow-colored light. Antique cuts, however, give a subtler, warmer glow instead of sharp brilliance.
Are antique style moissanite pendants durable for daily wear?
Yes. Moissanite ranks 9.25 on the Mohs hardness scale, making it one of the most durable gemstones. It works well for everyday jewelry, including pendants.
What is the difference between old cut and modern cut moissanite?
Old cut moissanite has larger, hand-cut style facets that create a soft glow. Modern cuts use precision technology for sharper brilliance and more sparkle.
