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.
The ring you see here features rounds of moissanite in a channel setting that not only provides ultimate protection to these scintillating stones, it creates a streamlined, continuous sparkle. Once she sees moissanite in action, she’ll have a hard time going back to diamonds. And, as your luxury provider there’s no extra advertising and big network charges built in, making it easy to get into the groove.
