Moissanite is a very enigmatic and enchanting stone it is used as a synthetic alternative to a natural diamond. The stone its self is found inside a meteorite that has flown through space for many years and eventually has reached the earth. I don’t think there is anything more mystifying then wearing a gem that has been in outer space and is now been fashioned into a beautiful gem to be worn on your person. Moissanite is a stunning sparkling stone that is identical as a diamond and is used in many jewelry pieces as an alternative to natural diamonds as they are so expensive.


Moissanite is produced in labs, the stone is altered through a thermal process using various degrees of heat to change the color and content of the mineral to create a sparkling stone. The fact the stone can be recreated using silicon and carbon make it easily accessible and therefore a lot cheaper than precious gems that take thousands of years to form. The fact that the process is synthetic and not natural contributes to the price take but
doesn’t devalue the beauty of the stone making it the most worn non precious gem by movie stars and celebs alike.


Most jewelers will have a selection of moissanite jewelry available in the stores. The stone looks beautiful encaged in all metals including gold, platinum, silver and white gold. It is a good idea to buy loose moissanite stones separately and then bring them to a jeweler to get a piece fashioned as they are much cheaper when bought separately. Another good option is to buy theses stones loose online as you will get a very good range of stones available online with a very reasonable price tag.


Moissanite jewelry comes in all styles of bracelets, necklaces and earrings but the new trend is heading towards wedding bands and engagement rings as people just can not afford to splash out on luxurious items the way the used to so are buying moissanite as a cheaper alternative. Because the stone is beautiful and is nearly indistinguishable from natural diamonds then you begin to ask yourself why not choose moissanite over the real thing if it looks just as good.
