What is Moissanite?

Moissanite, a gem-quality silicon carbide, resembles diamond but is a superior alternative. It offers exceptional fire and brilliance, and its hardness makes it ideal for heirloom-quality jewelry. Our Moissanites are expertly cut and polished to a higher standard than many diamonds found in engagement rings.

Ethically sourced and environmentally friendly, Moissanite is a socially conscious choice. Its origin traces back to a meteorite 50,000 years ago. Available in various shapes and sizes, Moissanite is a stable gemstone that retains its brilliance over time, making it an ideal choice for lifelong sparkle.
