Moissanite delivers striking sparkle and durability at a more approachable price—perfect for engagement rings, bands and fine daily-wear pieces.
Moissanite is a gemstone made of silicon carbide (SiC). First discovered in a meteor crater, today it’s grown in advanced labs to achieve outstanding clarity and fire. Its high refractive index and dispersion produce a vivid, lively sparkle.
High refractive index and dispersion create a lively, colorful sparkle that stands out in many lighting conditions.
Excellent hardness and toughness make it a smart choice for rings and daily-wear pieces.
Comparable look and longevity at a fraction of the price—so you can go bigger on carat or setting.
Lab creation enables consistent quality and calibrated sizes for precise settings.
Lab-grown with transparent provenance.
Available in a wide range of shapes, sizes and cutting styles to suit any aesthetic.
