Why Moissanite Jewelry?

Moissanite is an eco friendly and affordable alternative to diamonds. They are very similar in many ways with a few key differences. 

1. Hardness:

Diamonds: Measure a 10 on the Mohs hardness scale

Moissanite: Measures between 9.25 - 9.5.

This means that your moissanite gems are almost as hardy as diamonds and are very suitable for everyday wear. 

2. Sparkle: 

Diamonds: Are known for a more white sparkle with a 2.42 refraction index.

Moissanite: Gives off more of a rainbow fire with an index of 2.65. If you are a fan of brilliant bling, moissanite delivers in spades!

3. Price: -

Diamonds: High quality diamonds can cost thousands of dollars for a single carat.

Moissanite: Is significantly less expensive. A high quality Moissanite stone can be purchased for a fraction of the cost of a diamond of equal quality. This means you can purchase a much larger stone!

4. Environmentally Sustainable:

Diamonds: Are often mined in conflict zones (blood diamonds) and sourcing can be difficult to track unless certified.

Moissanite: Natural moissanite is a very rare stone, the majority of moissanite on the market is lab created. This not only contributes to it's incredible affordability, it also means you don't have to worry about contributing to the mining of so called "blood diamonds" that damage the environment and cause pain and suffering to the surrounding communities.
