the premier source for fine Moissanite jewelry

What if there was a stone that surpassed the luster, brilliance, and fire of a diamond or any diamond simulant? Moissanite does that and more. Introduced to Earth by a meteor, it possesses the same unearthly beauty so admired in diamonds, but blazes even brighter with superior sparkle. It does not merely match a diamond's beauty or durability, it transcends it. The mesmerizing beauty of its appearance, remarkable durability, and affordable price make it the perfect stone for any occasion. So whether you want to propose with a Moissanite ring or give the gift of Moissanite jewelry, you will find no other gemstone on Earth that compares to its lasting beauty.

Natural Moissanite was first discovered in 1893 in trace amounts that were carried to Earth from a spectacular meteorite. Possessing fire, brilliance, and luster far greater than that of a diamond, it sparkles unlike any other gemstone on Earth. Made up of carbon and silicon, it is also one of the hardest known elements on Earth. This makes it extremely resistant to scratching, chipping, and breaking. Its durability and incomparable beauty make it an ideal center stone for an engagement ring or jewelry gift. Moissanite gems may be cut in many shapes and sizes and can be used to create a one of a kind ring, wedding band, or other unique jewelry.

When shopping for a Moissanite ring or jewelry, the dazzling sparkle is what really stands out. This signature sparkle is more than just a surface trait, it speaks to the deeper science behind this gem. What makes it so striking is that it has more fire, brilliance, and luster than any other gemstone on Earth, which is a scientific and quantifiable fact.

Moissanite is known for its high refractive index (RI) of 2.65, which is notably higher than diamond, sapphire, CZ, and other gemstones known to be very brilliant. Brilliance is the flashes of white light exiting the top and sides of a gemstone. The higher the RI, the more brilliance the jewel emits. Its high RI score makes it the most brilliant fine jewel on Earth. Its fire, the flashes of colored light, is even more impressive being more than twice that of a diamond. Luster is the amount of light that is reflected back to the observer from the surface of the gem. In addition to superior fire and brilliance, it has 18% greater luster than that of a diamond and 50% greater luster than CZ.

Surprise her with a stunning Moissanite engagement ring, and give her so much more sparkle than that of a traditional diamond or diamond simulant. Moissanite gemstones come in many fancy shapes and sizes so you can create a personalized ring that is one of a kind. She deserves a ring that sparkles and stands out just like she does. A romantic Moissanite ring will be a unique heirloom she will treasure forever. It is also perfect for couples who are looking to achieve a superior look to diamonds but pay far less. When it comes to the overall value, it can't be beat. Proposing with Moissanite will ensure she has a ring of unmatched beauty that will last a lifetime.

When proposing with a Moissanite engagement ring or giving the gift of Moissanite jewelry, you can be confident that you are not only giving a gift of surpassing beauty but one that will endure a lifetime and beyond. There are not many materials that can boast being tougher than diamonds, but Moissanite is one of them. The unique atomic structure of it differs from a diamond. Its durability allows it to be exposed to heat and chemicals during the manufacturing or jewelry repair process that often damage other gemstones. Being one of the hardest gemstones on Earth, it has more than double the hardness of any popular diamond simulants, making it extremely difficult to scratch or damage. The beauty and durability of it make it the clear choice for best sparkle and high quality value.
