1. What is moissanite?
Moissanite was discovered in a meteor crater in 1893 by the French scientist Henri Moissan.He initially believed what he
had found was diamond but upon closer inspection determined it was silicon carbide (SiC) and crystalline polymorphs.
2. Diamond vs. Moissanite
Moissanite is an amazing stone that resembles a diamond in nearly every sense. In a simple traditional thermal probe, moissanite
even shows up as a diamond. To the naked eye, it appears just as brilliant as its more expensive natural counterpart, the diamond.
When it comes to the moissanite versus diamond battle, you’ll see for yourself: it’s virtually impossible to tell the difference.
Even trained jewelers need special equipment to differentiate a mined diamond from moissanite.
3.Do moissanites come in different colours and shapes?
Absolutely. Currently, we are able to obtain moissanites in their naturally occurring shades of pale and vivid yellow, green/blue,
light and dark blue,light and dark green, champagne, light and dark brown, blue/black, light and dark grey, and opaque black.
The stones can be cut into any shape or style you desire – princess, cushion, marquise, European cut, hearts and arrows, etc.
4.How should I care for my moissanite jewellery?
You may clean moissanite the same way you would diamond or any other fine gemstone. As with any fine jewellery item,
an ultrasonic cleaner can be used;however, be gentle with your valuable treasures – do not simply toss all your jewellery
in at once, as this could lead to chipping. You can also clean your moissanite jewellery using a commercial (non-acid based)
jewellery cleaner, or with mild soap and water using a soft toothbrush.
