About Moissanite
Brilliance Beyond
Diamonds
Moissanite is a rare silicon carbide gemstone, first discovered in a meteor crater and now lab-grown for fine jewellery. Giolleria uses certified moissanite with hallmarked 9K and 14K gold to create jewellery that is brilliant, durable, ethical, and easier to trust.

The Origin
A gemstone with a cosmic beginning.
In 1893, Henri Moissan discovered sparkling crystals inside a meteor crater in Arizona. The crystals were later identified as silicon carbide and named moissanite.
Natural moissanite is extremely rare. Jewellery-grade moissanite is now lab-grown, which gives customers consistent quality, traceable origin, and exceptional brilliance without mining uncertainty.
Trust Point
Moissanite is not fake diamond.
It is a distinct gemstone with its own chemistry, sparkle, durability, and identity. It looks close to diamond, but has stronger rainbow fire and a smarter price.
