If you haven't heard about our new favourite gemstone, Moissanite, it's time to get excited. Even more rare and more brilliant than diamonds, we can't wait for you all to discover the new gem in our collection.
Moissanite was first discovered 100 years ago in 1893 by French scientist Henri Moissan. He was inspecting a meteor crater in Arizona when he spotted what looked like diamonds. What he found of course, wasn't diamonds but a stunning new gemstone soon to be known as Moissanite. Due to it's origin story, Moissanite has been brilliantly nicknamed Space Diamond, we LOVE it.
EVEN MORE BRILLIANT THAN DIAMONDS
Moissanite has a higher brilliance than diamonds. This is because Moissanites have a faceting pattern which allows the gemstones to reflect and refract even more light than diamonds. This also means that they have more 'fire' than diamonds, which is the amazing rainbow light produced by gemstones.
SUPER STRENGTH AND DURABILITY
Moissanites have amazing durability, which means it is a fantastic gemstone for everyday wear and a popular choice for engagement rings. It is harder and more durable than almost EVERY gemstone.
EVEN MORE RARE THAN DIAMONDS
Natural moissanites are incredibly rare, even more rare than diamonds. As a result most moissanites today are grown in a lab controlled environment.
HIGHLY ETHICAL GEMSTONE
Being grown in a lab means that Moissanites are really ethical and always conflict free, which is a BIG yes from us.
