FAQs
Moissanite is a rare gemstone made from silicon carbide, first discovered in a meteor crater in Arizona in 1893. Because natural moissanite is so scarce, all gemstones used in fine jewellery today are grown in laboratories that recreate the same natural crystal structure.
It ranks 9.25 on the Mohs scale, just below diamond at 10, and has a higher refractive index, giving it remarkable brilliance and fire. Unlike cubic zirconia, moissanite will not cloud or scratch over time and retains its clarity indefinitely.
Even experts often need specialised tools to tell moissanite and diamond apart, especially in smaller stones. It offers the same lasting beauty and durability as a diamond, without the inflated pricing or environmental impact of mined stones.
No. While some moissanite is sold with certificates, GIA does not officially recognise or grade moissanite, so these documents do not carry the same meaning as they do for diamonds. We prefer to be transparent and do not include them.
We recommend avoiding showering with your jewellery. Water, soap, and shampoo can build up in the settings and dull the sparkle over time. Even solid gold and diamond pieces can lose their shine when exposed to soap.
Our jewellery is crafted from sterling silver, a premium metal that allows for detailed settings and secure prongs, then plated with 18k gold for a rich finish. Stainless steel may not tarnish, but it lacks the refinement needed for fine jewellery. Solid gold offers lasting shine but would make each piece cost thousands. Sterling silver with 18k gold plating offers the best balance of craftsmanship, durability, and affordability.
