When moissanite first broke through Earth’s stratosphere traveling 44 miles a second in a 50,000 year-old meteorite, it not only left an impression on Canyon Diablo, Arizona (literally), it made a lasting impact on the jewelry world.
The story begins in 1893, when French scientist Henri Moissan, discovered moissanite in samples of rock in a meteor crater. Later in Moissan’s career, he won a Nobel Peace Prize for his vast work, with moissanite becoming his namesake.
Moissanite is extremely rare in nature. But, thankfully scientists have perfected the creation of this exceptional gem right here on Earth. According to the GIA (Gemological Institute of America), moissanite outperforms all jewels in terms of its brilliance, fire, and luster. Moissanite has “double refraction”–– meaning light goes down into the stone and comes out not once, but twice. No diamond can do this.
You know what else makes this stone out of this world? The price. Moissanite makes owning larger carats of diamond-rivaling sparkle affordable without compromising color and clarity. The Moissanite Forever Ring is perfect for letting her know your love knows no bounds without making endless payments.
