Moissanite

What is Moissanite?

Moissanite is a truly remarkable gemstone with a captivating brilliance that rivals even the finest diamonds. First discovered in 1893 by Nobel Prize-winning chemist Dr. Henri Moissan, this gemstone was initially found in meteorites, leading to its nickname as a “gem from the stars.” Today, Moissanite is expertly crafted in laboratories, ensuring it’s an ethical and sustainable alternative to traditional gemstones.

Why Choose Moissanite?

  1. Exceptional Brilliance
    Moissanite’s refractive index (a measure of how light bends through a gemstone) is higher than that of a diamond, giving it a fire and brilliance that is unmatched. This means more sparkle and a dazzling play of light in every stone.

  2. Incredible Durability
    With a rating of 9.25 on the Mohs scale of hardness, Moissanite is one of the hardest gemstones available, second only to diamonds. It’s resistant to scratches, chips, and daily wear, making it ideal for engagement rings, everyday jewellery, or cherished heirlooms.

  3. Ethically and Sustainably Sourced
    Moissanite is grown in controlled laboratory environments, meaning it has no ties to unethical mining practices. Choosing Moissanite ensures a responsible and environmentally friendly option for your jewellery.

  4. Affordable Luxury
    Moissanite offers the beauty and brilliance of a diamond at a fraction of the cost, allowing you to invest in a larger or more intricate design without exceeding your budget.

  5. Versatility
    Moissanite is available in a wide range of cuts, sizes, and settings, making it perfect for any piece of jewellery—from engagement rings to bracelets and necklaces.

Moissanite vs. Diamonds

While both gemstones share a luxurious appearance, Moissanite stands out for its affordability and environmental impact. Its unique optical properties even produce a “rainbow sparkle” that some jewellery lovers prefer over the traditional brilliance of diamonds.
