What is moissanite?

Moissanite is a synthetic gemstone named after its discoverer, the French chemist Henri Moissan. It was originally found in meteorites, but today moissanite is made in the laboratory. Moissanite has gained popularity in the jewelry industry due to its wonderful sparkle, durability and more affordable price.

How is moissanite different from diamond?

Ethics

Moissanite is an increasingly popular choice as a gemstone due to its ethical and environmentally friendly properties. Moissanite is produced in a laboratory, meaning that no mining is involved in its production. This significantly reduces environmental impacts, such as soil erosion, water pollution and stress on ecosystems, which are common side effects of diamond mining.

In addition, the origin of lab-made moissanite is fully traceable, eliminating ethical issues such as the use of conflict diamonds.

Diamond mining is also often associated with poor working conditions and human rights violations, such as the use of child labor and dangerous working conditions. Moissanite production takes place in controlled laboratory conditions, where workers' rights and safety can be better guaranteed.

Great shimmer

Moissanite refracts light differently than a diamond, which gives it an even stronger shine than a diamond and a wonderful, rainbow-like glow.

Affordability

Moissanite is significantly more affordable than traditional diamonds. The price of a moissanite of the same size and quality can be a fraction of the price of a diamond, making it an attractive option for many consumers. This price advantage combined with the beauty and durability of moissanite makes it an excellent choice for both engagement rings and other jewelry.
