Moissanite Jewelry

12 piecesView All

Moissanite is a gemstone in its own right — not a diamond imitation — cut from silicon carbide and known for a fire and sparkle that often surpasses a diamond of equivalent size. It rates 9.25 on the Mohs hardness scale, making it considerably more durable than cubic zirconia and suitable for pieces worn daily, from engagement rings through to earrings, necklaces and tennis bracelets. Because it is lab-created, moissanite carries none of the ethical or environmental concerns associated with diamond mining, and typically costs a fraction of a mined or lab grown diamond of comparable size — which means more of your budget goes toward the setting, metal quality or carat weight rather than the stone alone. Every piece in this collection is handcrafted to order in 10K, 14K or 18K gold or platinum, so sizing and finish are made specifically for you rather than picked from stock. Moissanite suits both everyday wear and special-occasion pieces equally well: a pair of studs for the office, a pendant for evenings out, or a bracelet built for a celebration. If you already know the cut, carat weight or setting you want, or you would like to combine moissanite with lab grown diamond accents, our custom design service can build it from a sketch or reference photo, with CAD renders sent for your approval before production begins.

Frequently Asked Questions

What exactly is moissanite?

Moissanite is a naturally rare mineral (silicon carbide) that is lab-created for jewellery use. It is a distinct gemstone, not a diamond simulant like cubic zirconia, and is prized for its exceptional brilliance and fire.

Is moissanite durable enough for everyday wear?

Yes — at 9.25 on the Mohs scale it is one of the hardest gemstones available after diamond, and holds up well to daily wear when cared for properly.

How should I care for moissanite jewelry?

Avoid wearing it while gardening, cleaning or exercising, remove it before showering or swimming, keep it away from bleach, perfumes and lotions, and store it in a cool, dry place to maintain its lustre.
