Black Diamond Cross Necklace – Selah
Price range: $119.95 through $249.95
Eleven black GRA-certified moissanites set against polished white gold plating, creating a high-contrast cross that carries devotion with an edge most jewelry lines won't touch.
More designs:
- Black moissanite delivers a deep, opaque brilliance with subtle surface flash when it catches direct light, a look closer to natural black diamond than any coated CZ alternative.
- The silver-toned shared-prong gallery frames each dark stone with bright metal, producing a graphic black-and-white contrast that reads bold from a distance and detailed up close.
- Available in four stone sizes from 2.5mm (0.66 cttw) to 5mm (5.5 cttw), scaling from a discreet dark accent to a substantial gothic-inflected statement cross.
- 925 sterling silver with 18k white gold plating resists tarnish and keeps the bright metal tone consistent with the dark stone aesthetic over months of wear.
- Cable chain or box chain option at 16 in plus 2 in extender, shipped in a jewelry pouch and gift box ready for presentation.
Our Take
This is the piece that made the whole team pause. The black moissanites absorb light instead of throwing it, and that changes the entire energy of the cross. Against skin, the Selah looks serious and intentional. The scalloped gallery on the reverse catches you off guard with how refined it is for something this bold.

Description
The Black Diamond Cross Necklace That Breaks the Mold
Most cross necklaces lean toward light: white stones, bright metal, maximum sparkle. The Selah goes the other direction. Eleven round black moissanites sit in a shared-prong gallery of polished white gold-plated sterling, and the effect is closer to ironwork than traditional jewelry. Black moissanite absorbs most wavelengths and returns a deep, glassy surface luster with flashes of metallic brilliance at certain angles. It shares the 9.25 Mohs hardness of its colorless counterpart, so the stones resist scratching and maintain their surface polish indefinitely. The shared-prong construction lifts each stone above the silver gallery, letting ambient light hit the crowns and produce that characteristic dark glint. From the front, you see a stark cross of black rounds against bright metal. From the side, the sculpted scallop profile reveals the depth of the setting and the craftsmanship that holds it together.
Dark Stones, Deep Symbolism
Black gemstones in devotional jewelry carry their own lineage. In Victorian mourning traditions, black stones represented remembrance and enduring faith through grief. In contemporary jewelry, black crosses signal a faith that is personal and unapologetic rather than ornamental. The Selah fits both readings. It pairs naturally with darker wardrobes: black leather, charcoal knits, navy tailoring. It also creates striking contrast over white or ivory necklines. The 2.5mm and 3mm versions blend into layered chains as a subtle dark punctuation mark among brighter metals. The 4mm and 5mm sizes stand alone with authority. This is a cross for someone whose faith does not need to match the room.
Keeping Black Moissanite at Its Best
Black moissanite shows fingerprints and skin oils more visibly than colorless stones because of its opaque surface. A quick wipe with a dry microfiber cloth after each wear keeps the stones looking sharp. For a deeper clean, soak the pendant in lukewarm water with mild soap for a few minutes and use a soft-bristle brush around the prong bases where residue builds. The white gold plating benefits from the same care routine as any plated jewelry: avoid chlorine, remove the necklace before applying lotions or perfumes, and store it in the included pouch to prevent contact with other metals. The black moissanite itself will not fade, cloud, or lose its color. The darkness is intrinsic to the stone, not a coating.
