Moissanite is the jewel from the stars! It was first discovered in a meteorite that graced us with its appearance over 50,000 years ago. Moissanite is a naturally occurring mineral called silicon carbide, which is very rare and can’t be found in nature large enough to be cut into even a one-carat gemstone. It was originally developed for laser technology purposes but seeing how well it refracted light (they key characteristic in stones being sparkly) the adaptation for fine jewelry was born!

All moissanite is created and cut with precision to bring you the best fire and radiance. In fact, moissanite has a higher fire index than diamonds!

With the hardness factor second only to the hardest substance on earth (diamond), moissanite is a great choice for everyday brilliance. 

When browsing the market for moissanite, keep in mind brilliance and variety. These two factors are what sets the gemstone apart from diamonds and other similar jewelry gems. No matter what shape catches your eye, there’s nothing like seeing this stunning gem in person.
