Moissanite has come a long way since its blockbuster debut in 1893 when French scientist Henri Moissan discovered it in a meteor crater. Later in Moissan’s career, he won a Nobel Peace Prize for his vast work, with moissanite becoming his namesake. One could say “two” stars were born that day.
Moissanite is a great alternative to a mined diamond for several notable reasons. According to the Gemological Institute of America (GIA), moissanite outperforms all jewels in terms of brilliance, fire, and luster. Plus, moissanite has “double refraction” –– which means light goes down into the stone and comes out not once, but twice. No diamond can do this. You know what else is impressive? The price. Moissanite makes owning larger carats of diamond-rivaling sparkle affordable without compromising color and clarity.
Our Rock Star Ring features a full carat of this stone that possesses the fire and brilliance of an extraterrestrial diamond but is many times rarer than its earthly counterpart. Handcrafted in Italy of hammered .925 sterling silver, this ring emanates power, as well as a special, otherworldly charisma.
