Frequently Asked Questions
A moissanite gem is created through a complex scientific process known as chemical vapor deposition (CVD). This method involves the controlled growth of silicon carbide crystals in a chamber to extreme temperatures, causing them to react and form moissanite crystals over an extended period. These crystals are then carefully cut and polished to create the dazzling and durable moissanite gemstone.
Distinguishing between moissanite and a natural diamond is challenging due to their striking similarities. Our moissanite jewelry, crafted with precision, offers the same dazzling brilliance as diamonds but at a more affordable price. Rest assured, you'll enjoy the beauty of fine gemstones with a touch of modern sustainability.
Moissanite can pass a diamond tester because its electrical conductivity is similar to that of a diamond. Both gemstones conduct electricity, leading the tester to register a positive result for moissanite, despite their distinct chemical compositions.
Due to its high resistance to scratching, chipping, and breaking, moissanite can last indefinitely with proper care, retaining its brilliance and sparkle throughout a lifetime
Moissanite is widely regarded as the premier diamond alternative for several compelling reasons. Its exceptional brilliance, fiery sparkle, and hardness (ranking 9.25 on the Mohs scale 2nd to a diamond) making it nearly as durable as diamonds (10 Mohs scale) . Also, moissanite stones are ethically sourced, environmentally friendly, and offers remarkable value, providing the coveted beauty of diamonds at a fraction of the cost. Choosing moissanite ensures a stunning, sustainable, and budget-friendly option for those seeking an exquisite gemstone without compromising quality.
Yes, moissanite can safely be cleaned in an ultrasonic cleaner. Due to its high hardness and durability, moissanite is resistant to the vibrations produced by ultrasonic cleaners, making this method an effective way to remove accumulated dirt and grime without damaging the stone.
The round brilliant cut is generally considered the moissanite cut that sparkles the most. This cut is specifically designed to maximize light reflection, resulting in exceptional brilliance and fire, which are the sparkling and rainbow colors you see in moissanite. The round brilliant cut's precise facets are optimized for the best light performance, making it a popular choice for those seeking maximum sparkle.
Moissanite is much cheaper than diamonds primarily due to its lab-created origin. Unlike diamonds, which are mined, moissanite is synthetically produced, resulting in a more abundant and less costly supply. Additionally, the mining process for diamonds often involves significant labor and environmental costs, which add to their price. Moissanite' s lower cost of production and abundance make it a more affordable alternative to diamonds while still offering very similar aesthetic qualities.
Moissanite is highly resistant to fading or getting cloudy over time. Its chemical stability and hardness (second only to diamonds on the Mohs scale) ensure that it maintains its clarity and sparkle under normal wear conditions. Unlike some other gemstones, moissanite does not easily accumulate residue or sustain damage that could make it appear cloudy, ensuring its lasting brilliance.
