Moissanite has become a popular alternative to diamonds for jewelry.  Moissanites have a similar appearance to diamonds and often look nearly identical to the untrained eye. They share the brilliance, sparkle, and fire that diamonds are known for, making them an attractive choice. With moissanite, it is possible to have a beautiful gemstone for a fraction of the price of a diamond.  Moissanites are primarily produced in laboratories, offering a controlled and consistent quality. This aspect appeals to those who prefer gemstones with known origins and minimal environmental impact.

Originally discovered in a meteorite crater, Moissanite is well known worldwide as the world’s most brilliant gemstone, better than diamonds. Moissanite is incredibly rare in its natural form; however, lab created moissanite is identical to the original with hardness second only to diamond.  Moissanites have a hardness of 9.25 on the Mohs scale, while  diamonds are a 10.  This makes moissanite suitable for everyday wear and less prone to scratching or damage.

This sparkling round cut pale yellow moissanite is a great choice for any jewelry project.
