Jewelry

Originally discovered in a meteor crater by Nobel Prize-winning chemist Henri Moissan, moissanite is prized for its exceptional brilliance, fire, and durability. Visually similar to diamonds but with more sparkle, it’s a popular alternative for engagement rings, earrings, necklaces, and other fine jewelry.

  • Moissanite has a higher refractive index (2.65–2.69) than diamonds, which means it reflects more light and offers more brilliance and fire.
  • Moissanite offers the beauty of a diamond at a fraction of the price—making it ideal for budget-conscious shoppers who want elegance without compromise.
  • With a hardness of 9.25 on the Mohs scale, moissanite is second only to diamonds, making it suitable for everyday wear and resistant to scratching and abrasion.
  • Most moissanites are near-colorless or have only a faint hint of color, with excellent clarity—comparable to high-quality diamonds.
  • Moissanite avoids the environmental and ethical concerns associated with traditional diamond mining. It’s an eco-friendly, conflict-free choice.
