What's Moissanite

A gemstone originates from space meteorites

Moissanite originated as a space meteorite, and finding it in its natural form on Earth is almost impossible. Due to this fact, all moissanite gems are manufactured in the laboratory. In this way, the environment in which the gemstones are grown can be controlled and regulated to obtain the most stable and optimal production results. On the other hand, moissanite is grown in a laboratory with minimal impact on the environment. Also, due to its durability, moissanite can be cut into a variety of shapes, which gives jewelry designers a large selection of moissanite engagement rings and other jewelry settings.

Brilliance, which refers to the gemstone’s ability to reflect white light, is a good measure of how much sparkle and fire a gem has. Brilliance relies on the gemstone’s refraction. Moissanite disperses light very well and has higher light refraction than Diamond and will appear more brilliant. Although some people find them unnaturally sparkly, this is an advantage if you’re looking for a very bright, eye-catching stone. Additionally, Moissanite is less likely to attract grease or dirt over time than a Diamond due to its crystalline structure which should help keep the sparkle longer between cleanings.

The most popular cut for moissanite is the round brilliant cut. There are several reasons for the round brilliant cut’s popularity:

  • Brilliance. Like with a diamond, the round brilliant cut offers the greatest brilliance and fire. This means that the stone will sparkle when it’s exposed to bright light, which enters the stone and bounces off its facets in different directions.
  • Color. The round brilliant cut is the best cut for hiding color and making a stone appear nearly or completely colorless. This is an advantage for moissanite, as it helps to hide the yellow and green tints that are typically visible in moissanite.
  • Versatility. The round brilliant cut is extremely versatile, with a design that looks great in modern and vintage engagement rings and other jewelry.

Generally, moissanite looks the best in cuts that hide color and emphasize the stone’s brilliance, such as the oval cut, radiant cut, and marquise cut.
