What Is moissanite?

What is moissanite? Moissanite is a member of the cubic zirconia family, which contains no lead or other heavy metals. This gemstone can match the clarity and sparkle of diamond and sapphire, but at a fraction of the cost.

Moissanite is a noble and extremely hard gemstone. It is a synthetic gem that was developed by Dr. Henri Moissan in 1893 after he discovered how to synthesize large quantities of silicon carbide, which was then used as an abrasive in steel furnaces. Though it was originally given the name Moissanite after its inventor, today it is often referred to as "fake diamond".

Various types of Moissanite rings.

Moissanite Diamond rings are a very popular choice for anyone looking for diamonds that have a similar appearance and cut, but with the additional advantage of being more affordable than classic stones. Moissanite has a notable advantage over traditional diamond in that it doesn't fade or scratch easily, making them ideal for everyday wear.

Moissanite rings are a luxury accessory that adds a touch of designer style to your style. The gemstone has been known to permanently change color over time, though this happens rarely.
