What Is Moissanite?
Moissanite is a gemstone composed of silicon carbide, known for its brilliance, durability, and affordability compared to diamonds. Originally discovered in meteorites, it is now lab-created and popular as an ethical and cost-effective alternative to traditional diamonds. Its exceptional shine and hardness make it a sought-after choice for engagement rings and fine jewelry.
Why So Expensive?
While Moissanite jewelry is less costly to produce than diamond, it is also a very high-quality, beautiful, and durable stone. This quality comes at a price. Still, we aim to provide diamond quality at a fraction of the price, and that is just what you get with our D VVS1 clarity Moissanite. Nearly matching diamond in many aspects including hardness, Moissanite is a great alternative that will provide that stunning look and longevity without breaking the bank. Along with premium materials including real gold and silver, you are paying for quality that will last while still saving thousands of dollars.
How Does it Compare?
Moissanite and diamond look remarkably similar, making moissanite an excellent alternative for those seeking a dazzling, high-quality gemstone. Both are clear, durable, and brilliant, but moissanite has a slightly higher refractive index, meaning it reflects light with even more sparkle and fire than a diamond. To the untrained eye, the differences are nearly impossible to detect, and only under certain lighting conditions might moissanite display more colorful flashes.
