MOISSANITE GEMSTONE INFO

THE BRILIANCE OF MOISSANITE

We choose moissanite for its exceptional brilliance, durability, and timeless beauty.

Lab-created Moissanite is a remarkable gemstone known for its intense sparkle and beautiful play of light. With a 9.25 Mohs hardness, it offers excellent resistance to scratching, making it an ideal choice for jewelry designed to be worn and cherished every day.

Compared with cubic zirconia, moissanite offers greater durability and a more distinctive brilliance that continues to captivate from every angle.

Each gemstone is thoughtfully selected to complement our designs with a refined, luminous sparkle—bringing together modern craftsmanship, enduring beauty, and effortless elegance.

 

WHY CHOOSE MOISSANITE OVER ZIRCONIA?

Moissanite offers a more enduring brilliance and greater durability than cubic zirconia (CZ), making it an elevated choice for jewelry designed to be cherished.

 

EXCEPTIONAL SPARKLE

Moissanite has impressive brilliance and fire, creating a lively, captivating sparkle.

 

GREATER DURABILITY

With a 9.25 Mohs hardness, moissanite is more resistant to scratching than CZ, which measures around 8.

 

MADE FOR EVERYDAY WEAR

Its durability makes moissanite particularly well suited to rings, earrings, necklaces, and bracelets worn regularly.

 

LONG-LASTING BEAUTY

Moissanite is less prone to developing the scratches and surface wear that can affect CZ over time.

 

LAB-CREATED GEMSTONE

Moissanite can be created in controlled laboratory environments, offering a modern alternative to traditionally mined gemstones.

 

A MORE ELEVATED CHOICE

While CZ is an accessible diamond simulant, moissanite is often chosen when you want a gemstone with a stronger combination of brilliance, durability, and lasting beauty.
