Frequently Asked Question
What Is Moissanite?
Moissanite, first discovered by Henri Moissan in 1893 within a meteor crater, is an incredibly rare gemstone found only in specific, limited locations. Due to its natural scarcity, all premium moissanite available today is lab-created.
This makes it a conflict-free, eco-friendly, and entirely sustainable gemstone. At our store, we take pride in offering moissanite jewelry that is ethically produced, ensuring no harm to the Earth or its inhabitants. Our commitment to sustainability and responsible sourcing is at the heart of everything we do, providing you with beautiful, guilt-free luxury.
Moissanite Vs Diamond
Moisora Moissanites, crafted from silicon carbide (4H crystalline polytype), are premium lab-created gemstones that closely resemble diamonds in appearance but differ chemically. While diamonds have long been the top choice for engagement and heirloom jewelry due to their unmatched durability (10 on the Mohs scale), moissanites rank a close second at 9.25, making them durable enough for everyday wear.
In terms of brilliance and fire, moissanites outperform diamonds. With a brilliance of 2.65 (vs. diamond’s 2.42), Moisora moissanites produce stunning white flashes of light, and their fire of 0.104 (vs. diamond’s 0.044) creates dazzling rainbow flashes. This makes Moisora moissanites a visually captivating alternative to diamonds.
When it comes to affordability, Moisora moissanites shine even brighter. They offer the opportunity to own a dream ring without the hefty price tag. For the same carat size, a diamond can cost 15 to 25 times more than a Moisora moissanite. This combination of beauty, durability, and value has made Moisora moissanites a leading choice for engagement jewelry and sustainable luxury.
