Moissanite

Moissanite, explained for makers.

Moissanite is a lab-created silicon carbide gemstone — brilliant, hard (9.25 on the Mohs scale), and far more affordable than diamond, which makes it ideal for accent stones and statement settings alike.

Why setters choose it

  • Brilliance & durability. A high refractive index and excellent hardness for everyday wear.
  • Value at scale. Calibrated melee in volume without the diamond price — ideal for halos, pavé, and accent work.
  • Calibrated fancy shapes. Pear, marquise, trapezoid, baguette and more, measured to spec.

Moissanite vs. lab-grown diamond — which should you use?

Choose moissanite when budget and brilliance-per-dollar matter most, or for larger accent stones. Choose lab-grown diamond when you need true diamond optical properties or certification for the piece. Not sure? Message us on WhatsApp — we will recommend the right material for your design.
