A stone from out of this world
Moissanite is a mineral composed of silicon carbide, a synthetically produced crystalline compound composed of silicon and carbon. This brilliant and affordable alternative was originally discovered in the early 1890s inside a meteorite crater by French scientist Henri Moissan. While natural Moissanite is extremely rare, scientists have developed a method to reproduce the gemstone in a controlled lab environment, thus allowing it to be more accessible and affordable.
Moissanite has a brilliant sparkle, and are ideal for center stones in engagement rings and other timeless jewelry pieces. The unique optical properties of Moissanite allow light to sparkle through each facet, ensuring that every sparkle catches the eye and captures the fire in the heart. Moissanite looks incredibly similar to Diamonds but is actually more brilliant. The crystallized pattern of Moissanite allows light to reflect and refract even more than a Diamond, giving off more fire or what is known as the rainbow effect. In addition to their brilliance, Moissanite is ideal for everyday wear, ranking a 9.25 on the Mohs scale of hardness, compared to Diamonds which are a 10 in Mohs scale.
