The Dawn of Moissanite
Since time immemorial, diamonds have been sought after for their brilliance and durability, becoming an embodiment of luxury and commitment. However, a new star has emerged in the realm of gemstones—Moissanite. Moissanite, a gem discovered in a meteor crater, offers nearly the same qualities as diamonds yet comes with several unique benefits that are turning heads in the jewelry industry.
At Kalor Jewels, we have embraced the captivating allure of moissanite, offering our customers beautifully designed moissanite engagement rings, wedding bands, and other jewelry pieces. But what exactly is moissanite, and why is it becoming such a popular choice?
The Star Stone: What is Moissanite?
Moissanite was first discovered in a meteor crater in 1893 by Dr. Henri Moissan, hence the name. Initially mistaking these crystals for diamonds, Moissan later identified them as silicon carbide - a mineral rarely found in nature. Today's moissanite is lab-created, embodying the beauty of starlight in a sustainable, ethical gemstone.
Moissanite vs Diamond: The Beauty, Affordability, and Durability
1. Unmatched Brilliance: Moissanite outshines diamonds when it comes to brilliance. This gemstone has a higher refractive index, meaning it bends light more efficiently, resulting in superior sparkle. Its double refraction property further intensifies this sparkle, producing more flashes of color, or fire, compared to a diamond.
2. Cost-effective Luxury: Moissanite costs a fraction of what a diamond does, making it an affordable alternative without sacrificing aesthetic appeal. This affordability enables you to choose larger gemstones or more intricate designs while keeping within your budget.
3. Eco-friendly and Ethical: As lab-grown stones, moissanites have a minimal ecological footprint, making them an excellent choice for the environmentally conscious. They're also conflict-free, ensuring you can wear your jewelry with peace of mind.
4. Exceptional Durability: Ranking 9.25 on the Mohs scale, moissanite is second only to diamonds in terms of hardness. This means it's resistant to scratches and ideal for everyday wear.
