Quick Introductions: Meet Moissanite, The Non-Diamond
There’s a word buzzing around the ring world and it just might need to make it’s way to your lips. Moissanite. When shopping around for the perfect way to ask “Will you marry me?”, it’s time to consider a stone from the stars. You will not only change the life of your loved one when you slip this ring on their finger, but also the lives of someone in need!
Originally mistaken for an actual diamond, chemist Henri Moissan first encountered these crystals while, get this, examining rock samples from a meteor crater in the Canyon Diablo, Arizona in 1893. Yep, a meteor’s crater. Moissanite is a naturally occurring silicon carbide and in it’s natural form, rivals the rarity of diamonds.
Before the 1950’s there was no other source for these stones other than meteorites (I still can’t get over that). In 1958, moissanite was found the Green River Formation in Wyoming as well as in a diamond mine in Yakutia in 1959. Forever Brilliant Moissanite is 10% more brilliant than diamonds and reflects 2 times the light of diamonds, emeralds or sapphires! Not to mention it is nearly colorless, so it often times catches more stares and starts more conversations than diamonds.
