LAB AURA™ Moissanite

What's Moissanite?
Moissanite, a gemstone discovered in 1893 by Henri Moissan in Arizona's meteorite crater. Initially mistaken for diamonds, it's composed of silicon carbide. Natural moissanite is rare, so today's is lab-created.
Moissanite is engineered to look similar to diamonds but has distinct differences. It's a great thermal conductor like diamonds. However, moissanite has several advantages over diamonds. It offers exceptional brilliance and fire, and is often more affordable while still maintaining a high level of beauty and sparkle.

     

Why Moissanite?

Interesting facts about Moissanite
Distinctive Color While high-quality moissanite can appear colorless, it often has subtle tints of yellow or gray in certain lighting conditions, distinguishing it from diamonds in specific lights or settings.
Hard and Durable With a rating of 9.25 on the Mohs scale of hardness, moissanite is almost as hard as a diamond (which ranks at 10), making it highly durable and resistant to scratching.
Heat Resistant Moissanite is highly heat-resistant, capable of withstanding temperatures over 2000 degrees Fahrenheit, making it an excellent choice for jewelry that can endure extreme conditions without damage.
Affordability Moissanite offers a similar look to diamonds but at a fraction of the cost, making it a popular choice for engagement rings and other fine jewelry.
Popular Alternative Moissanite is becoming an increasingly popular choice for engagement rings, especially for couples seeking ethical, sustainable, and budget-friendly alternatives to diamonds.
Lab-Created, Earth-Friendly While natural moissanite is incredibly rare, most moissanite available today is lab-created, which makes it an eco-friendly and sustainable alternative to diamonds, as it doesn’t require mining.
