What is Moissanite?

Moissanite is a stunning gemstone that's a brilliant, ethical, and affordable alternative to diamonds. Lab-created for superior quality, it offers exceptional sparkle and durability—perfect for those seeking beauty without compromise.

Composition and Creation

Moissanite is silicon carbide (SiC), a compound of silicon and carbon. It's produced in laboratories using advanced high-temperature processes to grow large, flawless crystals. This method ensures sustainability, avoiding the environmental impact of mining.

Key Properties

• Hardness: Scores 9.25 on the Mohs scale—second only to diamond—making it incredibly tough for daily wear.

• Brilliance and Fire: Higher refractive index than diamond, delivering intense sparkle and colourful "fire" (rainbow light dispersion).

• Clarity and Colour: Typically near-colourless and graded like diamonds for cut, colour, clarity, and carat.

• Thermal Conductivity: Matches diamond closely, enhancing its diamond-like appeal.

Comparison to Diamond

Moissanite rivals diamond in looks and performance but at a fraction of the cost—often just 10-20% of a similar diamond's price. It's conflict-free, eco-friendly, and allows for larger, more impressive stones without the premium tag. While diamonds hold cultural prestige, moissanite delivers unbeatable value and ethical peace of mind.

Uses in Jewellery

Ideal for engagement rings, earrings, pendants, and more. Its affordability means bigger sparkle, and care is easy: just mild soap and water.

Choose moissanite for smart, sustainable luxury that shines brighter.
