The Moissanite Story
A Star Born Moissanite's origin story is one of the most romantic in the history of jewels. It wasn't found way down underground or unearthed by people. Instead, it was from the stars themselves, literally. There was a discovery in 1893 by French chemist Henri Moissan of glittering little crystals in the basin of an Arizona meteorite. At first, he thought he found diamonds. But later, after examining the crystals extremely closely, he found that they were not diamonds, but a new substance, a new mineral, silicon carbide. As natural moissanite is so rare, scientists learned how to produce it in a lab and perfectly reproduce its brilliance.
Moissanite rings today are 100% manufactured, so it's a clear conscience, earth-friendly choice. No digging deep into the earth, no hurting the Earth, just clean, bright loveliness.
At 9.25 on the Mohs scale, it is harder than necessary to hold up to everyday life without wearing off or scratching, but not harder than a diamond (10 on the scale). And moissanite is considerably cheaper than diamonds, at typically 80% to 90% less for the same size and appearance. That is, you dream bigger, bigger stones, higher-end environments, or simply having that extra money aside for other life milestones.
Moissanite earrings, rings, and other jewelry aren't only cheaper; it's for people who love fire, honesty, nature, and frugal spending, without compromising on beauty.
