Moissanite Diamond

Discover the beauty and brilliance of moissanite, a rare gemstone born from meteorite that fell in Arizona over 50,000 years ago. First discovered by Nobel-prize winner chemist Dr. Henri Moissan in a meteor crater in 1893. Moissanite was once considered impossible to use in jewelry until scientists found a way to grow these brilliant crystals in a lab. Our premium colorless (DEF)Moissanite gemstones boast a VVS clarity. They are indeed the ultimate sustainable purchase option, with a MohsScale hardness of 9.25, our moissanite is also harder than emeralds, rubies, sapphires and second only to diamonds. In addition, we offer a wider range of fancy-colored moissanite in pink, blue, green, yellow, champagne, grey, and black – something to suit everyone’s taste. This gemstone is perfect for engagement rings, wedding bands, and other custom jewelry. Moissanite as a high-quality alternative to diamonds is rapidly emerging. In this guide, we delve into the 5Cs of moissanite, with a special focus on the unique fifth C—Confidence—that moissanite brings to the table.

5C Standard

Diamonds are traditionally graded on a colour scale from D (colourless) to Z (yellow). Moissanite, however, should be evaluated on its own merits. It comes in a variety of shades, including colourless, near-colourless, and tinted. Minye Jewelry use white colourless gem in the premium DEF range for our products.

Moissanite, often created in controlled environments, generally has fewer inclusions than diamonds. When they do occur, they are typically needle-like and less obstructive to light.Moissanite’s clarity grading is “eye-clean”. However, only moissanite gemstones that pass our stringent quality standards are made available for distribution.

The cut of a gemstone plays a crucial role in its brilliance and fire. Moissanite requires a different approach to maximise its unique refractive properties. Every Minye Jewelry moissanite gem is precisely calibrated and hand-faceted by master gem cutters to maximize brilliance and spark its ultimate fire that increases the refractive index of moissanite.

Moissanite is visually proportionate to typical diamond-carat weights but is approximately 10% to 15% lighter than diamonds. Most jewelers find it easier to sell moissanite by size rather than weight.

What sets moissanite apart from diamonds is the fifth C—Confidence. Not only does each stone come with a Lifetime Warranty for quality assurance, but its lab- grown nature also ensures a more reliable and ethical supply compared to diamonds. All Minye Jewelry moissanite have GRA certificates to ensure the 5(th) C.
