What is Moissanite?

Moissanite Photo and Medallion Pendants

by Aumsri Pradhan on Sep 28, 2026

Quick answer: Moissanite photo and medallion pendants let you carry a loved one, a memory or a personal emblem close to your heart. A photo pendant sets a printed or enameled image inside a frame of moissanite; a medallion pendant is a round or shaped disc decorated with initials, symbols or characters. They are popular as memorial pieces, family tributes and personal statement jewelry. Choose a durable photo finish, a secure bail and a sturdy chain.

Some jewelry is about memories more than style. Here is how to choose a meaningful photo or medallion pendant.

Tips for Choosing

  • Photo quality: sharp, well-lit images reproduce best.
  • Size: larger frames show faces more clearly.
  • Bail: a dog-bone or wide bail supports heavier pendants.
  • Chain: pair with a tennis or Cuban chain for weight and style.
  • Engraving: add a date or short message on the back.

Caring for Photo Pendants

  • Wipe gently with a soft, damp cloth.
  • Avoid soaking photo pieces or using ultrasonic cleaners.
  • Keep away from chlorine, perfume and harsh chemicals.
