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
- Colour
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.
- Clarity
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.
- Cut
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.
- Carat
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.
- Confidence
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.
