Moissanite

Moissanite Jewelry

Moissanite jewelry sends a powerful signal to everyone who sees it that the person wearing it has bold taste and a passion for the good life. So, what is moissanite? It's an affordable diamond alternative that has a sparkle rivaling a diamond's but a much lower price tag. It's made from silicon carbide, and while it does occur in nature (in meteorites), natural moissanite is rare enough that nearly every stone on the market is lab-created, which is what makes the price possible.

That difference in material is what your eye picks up. Silicon carbide has a refractive index of about 2.65, against roughly 2.42 for diamond, so moissanite bends light harder and throws more colored flashes. It's a different sparkle, more rainbow, less white flash.

Set in gold, moissanite jewelry is worn by people announcing they've arrived. Purchase some for yourself if you're all about that attitude.

Iced out moissanite essentially uses multiple stones to take the bling to another level. Rap stars, business moguls, fashion models who are all about expressing themselves boldly use this style on chains, earrings, pendants and more because they have no fear of looking fabulous.
