Product Description
Discover the brilliance of Moissanite - a stunning substitute for natural diamonds with exceptional optical properties.
The name of moissanite comes from Henri Moissan, a French chemist who discovered natural silicon carbide in a meteorite crater. While natural moissanite is extremely rare, the moissanite used in jewelry today is masterfully synthesized to offer a sustainable and affordable alternative to diamonds.
Moissanite possesses properties that are remarkably close to those of diamonds. Its refractive index and dispersion levels are actually higher than diamonds, providing a superior "fire" and brilliance. With a hardness rating of 9.25 on the Mohs scale, it is one of the hardest gemstones on Earth, second only to diamonds (which score a 10).

Moissanite is a clever product name used for marketing synthesized silicon carbide. Because it can be produced through controlled scientific processes, it offers mass production efficiency and a very competitive price point compared to natural gems.
Professional gemologists can distinguish moissanite from diamonds through birefringence and optical features. While both materials conduct heat well, they differ significantly in electrical conductivity, allowing for rapid identification using specialized conductivity meters.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q1: What is Moissanite exactly?
A: Moissanite is a gemstone made of silicon carbide. While it occurs rarely in nature, the jewelry-grade stones are synthesized in labs to match the brilliance and durability of diamonds.
Q2: How hard is Moissanite compared to a diamond?
A: Moissanite has a hardness of 9.25 on the Mohs scale, making it extremely durable for daily wear. Diamonds are the only gemstones harder, with a rating of 10.
Q3: Does Moissanite look like a real diamond?
A: Yes, it looks very similar to a diamond. In fact, Moissanite has a higher refractive index, meaning it often exhibits more "fire" and colorful flashes than a diamond.
Q4: Can a regular diamond tester identify Moissanite?
A: Basic thermal testers may confuse the two because both conduct heat. However, a specialized conductivity meter can easily distinguish them due to their different electrical properties.
Q5: Is Moissanite a sustainable choice?
A: Yes, because moissanite is lab-created, it avoids the environmental impact associated with traditional mining, making it an eco-friendly jewelry option.
Q6: What colors and shapes are available for Moissanite?
A: It is available in various shapes like Round, Pear, and Oval, and comes in colors ranging from White and Gray to Green, Yellow, and Black.
