Moissanite

Moissanite is a gem born from the stars

First discovered in 1893 by Nobel Prize-winning scientist Dr. Henri Moissan at a meteor strike site in Arizona, Moissanite was initially mistaken for diamonds. Later identified as the mineral silicon carbide, this rare gem was eventually synthesized nearly a century later, becoming one of the world’s most dazzling gemstones.

Renowned for its exceptional fire, brilliance, and affordability, Moissanite is a perfect diamond alternative. With a hardness of 9.25 on the Mohs Scale, it is second only to diamonds in durability, making it ideal for everyday wear.
