What Is Moissanite? A Complete Guide for Jewelry Lovers

What is Moissanite?

Moissanite is a sparkling gemstone that looks very similar to a diamond. But unlike diamonds, moissanite is not mined from the earth — it's created in labs using natural elements found in space.

In fact, the first moissanite was found in a meteor crater by scientist Henri Moissan in 1893!

Today, moissanite is a popular diamond alternative — especially for rings, earrings, and wedding jewelry.


Why Choose Moissanite?

  1. Amazing Sparkle
    Moissanite shines even more than diamonds. It gives a rainbow-like sparkle that catches the eye.

  2. Much More Affordable
    You get the look of a diamond without spending a fortune. Perfect for engagement rings or gifts.

  3. Eco-Friendly and Conflict-Free
    Since moissanite is lab-made, it’s a safe and ethical choice — no mining, no harm.

  4. Strong and Durable
    Moissanite scores 9.25 on the Mohs scale of hardness. It’s perfect for daily wear, just like diamonds.

  5. Great for Custom Designs
    Moissanite comes in many shapes and sizes, making it ideal for solitaires, halos, and vintage-style rings.
