Why Moissante?

Moissanite is a naturally occurring silicon carbide mineral and its various crystalline polymorphs. However, natural moissanite is incredibly rare, so it is almost exclusively synthesized in laboratories for use in jewelry and industry. It's a popular alternative to diamonds due to its similar appearance and lower price. Moissanite has a higher refractive index than diamond (2.65-2.69 compared to diamond's 2.42), meaning it bends light more and creates exceptional brilliance and fire. Moissanite exhibits a higher dispersion than diamond (0.104 compared to diamond's 0.044), resulting in more colorful flashes of light, often described as "fire." With moissanite being lab-created, it avoids the ethical concerns associated with diamond mining. Also making moissanite significantly less expensive than diamonds of comparable size and quality.
