Collection: Moissanite jewelry
Moissanite is a gemstone that looks very similar to a diamond but is actually made from silicon carbide. It was originally discovered in a meteor crater by a French scientist named Henri Moissan in 1893 (hence the name moissanite).
Today, moissanites are lab-created, and they’ve become super popular in jewelry because:
- They sparkle even more than diamonds – thanks to a higher refractive index.
- They’re almost as hard as diamonds – making them durable for everyday wear.
- They’re more affordable – giving a diamond-like look at a lower price.
- They’re ethically made – since they’re lab-grown, there’s no mining involved.
Visually, moissanite can be hard to distinguish from a diamond unless you’re trained or using special tools. It’s a great choice if you want something dazzling, durable, and more budget-friendly.
