During the late 19th century, French  chemist Henri Moissan discovered a new gemstone called moissanite. It is  now a popular gem that has become known as one of the world's most  scintillating stones. It is a diamond-like crystal that is made from  silicon carbide. The crystal is often cut into various shapes. This  makes it the ideal stone for solitaire engagement rings, earrings, and  pendants.

Moissanite is a beautiful gem that displays more fire  than other gemstones. It is also more durable and less expensive than a  diamond. It is a unique stone that is created in laboratories. The  stones are usually graded for color, clarity, cut and symmetry. The cost  of a moissanite jewelry depends on these four factors.

Unlike  diamonds, however, moissanite can be found in minute amounts. It was  first discovered in Arizona, near a meteor crater. The meteor struck the  desert thousands of years ago, carrying a heap of minerals with it.  Eventually, a French chemist named Henri Moissan was able to collect  samples of the particles and synthesize them. He later realized that the  crystalline particles were made of silicon carbide.

Today, most  moissanite is produced in a lab. The laboratory uses heat to create the  crystals. This process has allowed scientists to produce a lab-created  diamond simulant that costs up to 90% less than a mined diamond. The  diamond simulants feature dazzling brilliance and long-lasting  durability.

The laboratory process allows for moissanite to be  manufactured in a controlled environment. This process helps to ensure  that the stone will remain eye clean and will not cloud over time

This  is the best quality moissanite available on the market. The Forever One  brand features colorless stones that are internally flawless and a  perfect clarity grade. It comes with a lifetime manufacturing warranty  that covers clouding, color changes and fading.

The round  brilliant cut offers the most fire, while the princess cut can create a  dazzling effect. The cushion cut, pear cut and oval cuts are also  popular choices. The stones are also available in antique cuts. This  gemstone is a stunning addition to any jewelry collection.

The  gemstone can be set in platinum or white gold. It is considered an  ethical stone. It is produced with exact specifications and high quality  control standards. The price range for a moissanite jewelry piece is  approximately $600 to $3000.

Moissanite is also an ethical  gemstone. The crystal is a lab-created gemstone, and therefore, there  are no conflict-of-interest issues with it. The gemstone is available in  various colors, and it is often treated to change the color. If you  have any questions about the care of your moissanite, an expert can help  you.
