FAQ

Moissanite is a lab-created gemstone made of silicon carbide, known for its brilliance and durability. Originally discovered in a meteor crater, Moissanite is now almost exclusively lab-grown, offering a sustainable and ethical alternative to diamonds. Unlike diamonds, Moissanite has a higher refractive index, making it even more dazzling under light.

Moissanite rings are not only more affordable but also boast superior brilliance compared to diamonds. With a Mohs hardness rating of 9.25, Moissanite is exceptionally durable and resistant to scratches, making it perfect for everyday wear. Moreover, Moissanite is an environmentally friendly choice, as it is lab-created with minimal environmental impact.

Visually, Moissanite and diamond are nearly indistinguishable, even to trained eyes. Moissanite tests as a diamond on most diamond testers, adding to its appeal as a cost-effective alternative. However, Moissanite outshines diamonds in terms of fire and brilliance, offering a unique sparkle that is hard to miss.
