🌟 What Is Moissanite?

Moissanite is a rare gemstone with an extraordinary origin — first discovered in a meteor crater by Nobel Prize-winning chemist Dr. Henri Moissan. Though naturally occurring moissanite is incredibly scarce, today’s gemstones are expertly lab-created to deliver exceptional brilliance, clarity, and ethical assurance.

Unlike diamonds, which are formed from carbon, moissanite is made of silicon carbide — a composition that gives it superior sparkle, excellent hardness, and long-lasting durability. It’s an ideal choice for those who want luxury without compromise.

✨ Fun Fact: Moissanite actually sparkles more than diamonds, thanks to its higher refractive index — giving it unmatched fire and brilliance.

💎 How Does Moissanite Compare to Diamonds?

At a glance, moissanite and diamonds share a similar appearance — brilliant, clear, and timeless. However, look closer and you’ll discover some important differences that set them apart:

  • Brilliance: Moissanite actually has a higher refractive index than diamonds, meaning it reflects more light and sparkles with greater intensity — especially in rainbow flashes (fire).
  • Hardness: Diamonds score 10 on the Mohs scale, making them the hardest known mineral. Moissanite follows closely at 9.25, making it highly durable for everyday wear.
  • Price: Moissanite offers a luxurious look at a fraction of the cost, making it a budget-friendly option without compromising on beauty or performance.
  • Origin: Moissanite is ethically lab-created, while diamonds can be mined or lab-grown — with environmental and sourcing considerations to factor in.

Moissanite has a higher refractive index, creating a rainbow-like sparkle.

On the Mohs scale, moissanite scores 9.25, just below diamonds (10), making it incredibly durable.

Moissanite is significantly more affordable than diamonds of similar size and clarity.

Lab-created moissanite is conflict-free and environmentally friendly.
