Sporting a moissanite jewelry set on a bride's wedding day is just about one of the most profound statements she can make. The effect that this set will have puts even diamonds to shame. On this day, a bride loves to show off – and nothing can showcase her better than the exuberant sparkle of a complete moissanite ensemble.
Moissanite can be cut to perfect specifications. The extreme refractive properties of the stone allow an experienced jeweler to design wedding jewelry sets with stone alignments that literally radiate fire in all directions. Such wedding sets are usually crafted in either 14 or 22 carat white gold or platinum, since these perfectly complement the moissanite and lend it a dramatic backdrop.
Moissanite wedding sets are eminently adaptable to individual budgets. Most of them are half the cost of a comparable diamond ensemble. A bride can flaunt an extravagant set on her wedding trousseau for a comparatively modest price.
The appeal of moissanite on the most significant day of a couple’s life is not just limited to women’s jewelry. Men’s wedding rings, tie pins and cufflinks sporting the moissanite are becoming increasingly popular. This is not surprising – moissanite is being cleverly marketed as the stone that most reflects a man’s most desirable qualities in relationships. It is among the hardest substances known, is literally "forever", shines forth uninhibitedly, is economical, and can be molded according to desire. What woman could ask for more?
Men’s moissanite wedding rings are usually made with two tone white gold/yellow gold, said to be the perfect "male" blend. The wedding ring is invariably the only piece of jewelry a man can wear during his wedding; considering this limitation, it is only proper that it features a brilliant moissanite for maximum effect.

Moissanite - An Amazing Gift from the Stars!
Moissanite! As sparkling as a diamond but more brilliant and harder than diamond, moissanite is available at a fraction of the cost and has become one of the more popular choices for jewelry lovers’ the world over. If you like high quality jewelry and enjoy the beauty and brilliance of diamonds but can’t seem to afford it, then moissanite jewelry is your best and most affordable choice.
Indistinguishable from diamond to the naked eye moissanite engagement rings make for the perfect romantic present. If you want to show her that she’s your brightest star present her with a moissanite 14K ring set in white or two-tone gold or turn heads with a pair of tear drop moissanite earrings in pure yellow gold.
Moissanite or silicon carbide (SiC) is an incredible, almost colorless jewel that glitters more than any other gemstone in the world. With nearly 2.5 times more fire than diamond, it is in a class of its own and it is not a substitute or replacement for diamond. But it is a unique gem with exceptional dazzle and fire that delivers quality, beauty, and value like no other gemstone. Women across the world find it hard to resist the big and exceptionally bright sparkle of this fantastic jewel!
A Perfect Combination of Art & Science
Born from a rare geological discovery made more than a century ago, Moissanite is a man-made gemstone. Discovered by Nobel Prize winning French scientist Dr. Henri Moissan, Moissanite’s origins can be traced to some particles found in 1893 in the Canyon Diablo meteor crater in Arizona State. Since these crystals were too small and scattered, they couldn’t be set into jewelry. So for years, scientists worked hard to re-create these rare but uniquely brilliant gems.
And just recently, with advances in technology, Charles & Colvard were able to replicate Moissanite! This has made Moissanite jewelry affordable and popular amongst women who want high quality jewelry that is not only beautiful but long-lasting.
How is Moissanite Gemstone Created?
Today, Charles & Colvard, Ltd. is the only and single largest producer and distributor of artificially created Moissanite. They have patents for the manufacturing process itself, and for its use as a gemstone. Single crystal Moissanite is grown through a proprietary thermal growing process. Mass production of this gem is difficult as well as expensive. At Charles & Colvard, each Moissanite crystal is crafted by hand to provide maximum brilliance and enhance the spark of the jewel.
Most popular shape for Moissanite is round, though it is also available in almost all fancy shapes and cuts such as Princess and Cushion. You can find Moissanite engagement rings, earrings, and pendants in many modern, chic, and glamorous designs; these affordable jewelry pieces are exceptional in quality and have an unparalleled brilliance.
More brilliant than diamond and almost as tough, Moissanite is also very durable, which makes it the perfect gemstone to adorn any designer jewelry piece. Extremely resistant to breaking and chipping, you can be rest assured that your Moissanite engagement rings or wedding bands with Moissanite studs will always stand the test of time reminding your loved one of your commitment and love for them.

Why Buy Moissanite? Diamonds are a Girl's Best Friend!
Inevitably during my day to day e-mail perusings at MoissaniteMaven.com I will come across the following question: "I can afford to buy a diamond ring, so why buy moissanite? Diamonds are a girl's best friend!" Well, it's not always asked exactly like that, but you get the point. In response I will tell them that by all means, if buying a diamond wedding ring specifically is that important to you then don't let me get in your way. Before you do however, there are a few things you might not have considered...
Why is it so important for you to buy a diamond wedding ring? Quality, durability, beauty, and many other reasons come to mind. All of these traits and many more are symbolic of what a marriage should be. This is why most people shy away from buying synthetics and alternatives because they don't want to think of the symbolic representation of their marriage as a sham, or to believe that stinginess was the overriding factor to their purchase. All of these sentiments can be understood in regards to an alternative like cubic zirconia, which is quite inferior to a diamond in look, feel, quality, beauty, and value. However just because in comparison to the prices of diamonds you can buy moissanite much more cheaply, this does not mean that the quality of the product itself is cheap.
The prices of diamonds have essentially been inflated by a diamond mining monopoly which greatly benefits from their perceived value being much greater than their actual value. Diamonds are certainly a valuable commodity due to their many positive traits mentioned above, but their true value is nowhere near what their cost is in the marketplace. In fact, a truer representation of the value of a diamond would be to discover the price of an equivalently sized moissanite gem. Not only that, but there are issues globally with the diamond mining industry that may concern you, and regardless of what sort of guarantees you receive about the origins of the diamond you purchased, you inevitably cannot sleep as well as you can if you've purchased a moissanite ring instead.
Though most moissanite today is created synthetically, it occurs naturally in rare circumstances on meteorites and below the Earth's crust as silicon carbide. Moissanite is a gemstone with a durability and hardness nearly the same as that of a diamond, and its brilliance, fire, sparkle, and luster ratings are even higher than that of a diamond. So in fact, regardless of the price, depending upon what your own personal standards of value and taste are, you can be confident in the fact that you purchased a high quality piece of jewelry when buying a moissanite wedding ring. This is the point in the e-mail when I suggest to them that maybe it's time for girls to have a new best friend.

Moissanite Earrings, The Modern Brazilian Beetle.
The history of earrings is a varied history indeed. And the latest in the long line of female body adornments known as earrings are Moissanite earrings. Moissanite is taking the jewelry world by storm and moissanite earrings are no exception.
Moissanite earrings, well earrings in general anyway, are a fashion with a long history. They are believed to have originated around 3000 BC. Fashioned often in gold, silver or bronze, numerous examples of earrings dating from around 2500 BC to the time of Christ have been unearthed.
Many fascinating examples have been uncovered from the royal graves in Iraq!
Earring styles have varied enormously over the last 3500 years. Earrings were often buried with the dead, as were many other forms of fashionable jewelry of the time. This is fortunate as it allows us to determine exactly what earrings were popular at various times in our history.
Around 1350 BC hoop earrings were popular which fitted inside a larger hole in the ear than would normally be the case. We can only imagine what it would have taken to produce the hole in the ear in the first place! Probably a small hoop earring at first, followed by larger ones as time progressed.
Earrings had styles and motifs which fitted the times. For example in Greek society around the second century BC earrings often displayed motifs of the gods of the time. And precious stones also adorned the ears of the wealthy women of the time to display their riches.
From around the third to the tenth century AD earrings were overtaken by head adornments which often covered the entire side of the face. And then for a few centuries after that long hair styles and high collars covered the ears and earrings lost their appeal.
Earrings took a back seat for quite some time, but re-emerged unscathed around the sixteenth century. At the time women’s hairstyles crept up exposing the ears again and by the seventeenth century earrings were back in fashion.
Earrings then were often long and heavy and extended use resulted in women suffering permanently stretched ear lobes. This can be clearly seen in pictures of Queen Victoria, a dedicated earring wearer. Perhaps she had a lot to do with the fashion of the time.
Earring fashions varied with hairstyles. When the hair was worn on the top of the head the ears were prominently displayed and so earrings were essential, however from time to time the hairstyles favoured covering the ears, and earrings went back out of fashion.
All sorts of exotic earring materials were used including in the late 1800s, of all things, Brazilian beetles for their attractive green color.
Back then it was Brazilian beetles, now it’s moissanite. The newest of the modern earring materials, moissanite earrings are taking the earring world by storm. Why? Simply because moissanite earrings look as good as diamond earrings but without the price tag.
Moissanite earrings feature moissanite stones, a modern alternative to diamonds which offer all the qualities of diamonds but at a fraction of the cost.
Whether it’s simple round cut moissanite stones set into white or yellow gold to produce stunning moissanite stud earrings, three stone moissanite earrings in gold or solitaire moissanite earrings with lever back settings, any would complement the ear of the modern woman.

Choosing A Moissanite Stone
The beauty of moissanite, aside from it's obvious diamond like dazzle and brilliance is that it is being hailed as it's own stone, it's not just a "fake diamond" as some would have you believe.
Moissanite are laboratory made under exacting conditions by Charles and Colvard. Moissanites shadow real diamonds in many ways. The hardness rating of a moissanite is just under that of a diamond at 9.25. The hardness of a diamond is 10. The luster and brilliance of moissanite sometimes exceeds that of a diamond. Moissanites would be considered as an SI quality stone, known as "eye clean" to jewelers.It is their likeness to diamonds that sometimes makes moissanites and diamonds hard to distinguish, even to experienced jewelers.
It is very difficult for some jewelers to tell the difference between a moissanite and a real diamond. It seems that the thermal test most jewelers used that can tell them whether or not a stone is an actual diamond does not work with a moissanite stone, which has a higher temperature rating than a diamond. At a temperature of 1100 degrees celsius a diamond will eventually vaporize. A moissanite will remain intact. Some jewelers have an instrument that is called a "moissanite probe" that they can use when trying to distinguish a moissanite from a diamond or a CZ. There is also a double refraction that a moissanite has that distinguishes it from other stones.
Charles and Colvard are the sole manufacturers and patent holders of moissanite stones. They sell to exclusive jewelers which are listed on their internet website, and they do not allow any jeweler to sell moissanite as loose stones. Moissanites are not measured in carats but in millimeters. A moissanite stone approximately one carat in weight would sell for about $525. That's quite a savings over a one carat diamond which would sell for about $6,500. A 4 carat moissanite tennis bracelet sells for approximately $1,800. while a 4 carat SI diamond tennis bracelet sells for approximately $2,500.00. The best part is that no one will ever know it's not a diamond, unless you choose to tell them

Moissanite Diamond - Fake it Till You Get it !!!
Where do you draw the line between Moissanite Diamonds and the real thing?
What is the difference if there is one and how do you differentiate between the two?
Real diamonds are created deep in the earth taking millions of years to form under high pressure and temperature.
They large scale or commercial diamond mining consumes a lot of human resource and finance.
The rough diamonds obtained then have to be sorted, cut and polished all very specialized jobs.
Is the end result justified you may ask?
Diamonds are as old as mankind if not older, they are mentioned in the Bible and are a God given resource. Like most other natural resources, they are rare and finite more so diamonds. It takes approximately 23 tons of blue ground to yield 5 carats of rough diamond material. That's a lot of work in anyones books.
If that is not enough, only 20% of any diamonds recovered are gem quality, while the remainder is suitable only for industrial purposes. Industrial quality diamonds are used in PC chip manufacturing drill bits & saw blades among other applications.
So why the history lesson? Just to show that gem quality Diamonds are expensive for a reason and not just because your jeweler says so.
Okay so why even bother with Moissanite Diamonds?
Well simply put, you save quite a bit of money buying Moissanite Diamonds as opposed to gem diamonds. Moissanite is lab prepared and a 1 carat stone can be made in 3 days as opposed to millions of years. Moissanite has a hardness of 8.5 - 9.25 compared to 10 with real diamonds.
It produces as much fire as a real diamond when cut and you require a special tester to differentiate between Moissanite and real diamond.
So you are asking yourself if I can't tell the difference between Moissanite & real diamond, then my fiancé woun't either. Why not save some money and go for Moissanite.
I though of this too & nearly went for it until I realized that there is the small matter of insurance. If you don't insure, your lady might decide to get diamond insurance then you'll truly be in the dog house!!
There are also die hard romantics who think its unforgivable to propose to your woman with anything less than a real diamond ring; the bigger the better! Anyone who does anything less must be cheap.
So what to do? Well fake it till you get it!!!
If you are buying a moissanite ring for yourself, don't think twice. Look for a reliable Jeweler and go for it. If you are getting one for your lady & wife to be, bring it up in conversation way before you intend to propose to her to hear her views.
If she's not fussed, give her a big kiss and start shopping for a really big Moissanite ring.
At the end of the day, it comes down to personal preference, your budget and whether or not your partner knows her Moissanite from her Diamonds!!

To Have and to Hold With Moissanite Engagement Rings
There is Beauty to be found in a Moissanite Engagement Ring
In 1893 a man name Henri Moissan discovered a naturally occurring mineral, silicone carbide, in a meteor. The mineral became known as Moissanite. Scientists decided to create a synthetic Moissanite and in 1995 jewelers realized the true beauty and value of the mineral as a gemstone. It was at this time that the moissanite engagement ring became a strong competitor for the diamond. In fact, it is such a beautiful competitor to the diamond than many jewelers have difficulty telling the difference.
The Moissanite Engagement Ring: To Buy or Not to Buy
Finances often dictate the amount of money that can be spent on an engagement ring. The largest advantage to the moissanite engagement ring is the cost. While its cost is much less than the diamond, its durability is considerably higher. It is also said to be more brilliant than the other diamond competitor, the cubic zirconia (cz). In fact, the moissanite gemstone is said to refract light and give more brilliance than either the diamond or cubic zirconia. However, when buying a moissanite engagement ring or any other setting style, it is important to thoroughly examine the stone in bright daylight, as some can appear to be slightly green or gray. It is also important to fully understand the store’s return policy in the event that you should reconsider your purchase. Moissanite engagement rings can still carry the stigma of being a “fake” diamond, which gives many the impression that the ring is cheap or a “knock-off”.
The Value of Moissanite When Compared to the Competitors
The moissanite engagement ring has quickly replaced its closest competitor, cubic zirconia engagement ring, for a number of reasons. While Cubic zirconia had been the leading competitor for the diamond for many years, the introduction of the moissanite gem has quickly moved it to third place. There are two types of cubic zirconia, hand-cut and those cut by a machine. While the hand-cut stones are a nice substitute for diamonds, they lack the brilliance of both the moissanite and diamond. It is widely agreed that the machine cut cubic zirconia is a poor substitute for diamonds as many are hazy and lack brilliance. The durability of the three gems cannot be argued; the diamond rates a 10, the moissanite a 9.25 and the cubic zirconia about a 9.0. These numbers that reflect each stones durability are important when buying an engagement ring that will be worn daily. When finances are at stake, there is no argument that a moissanite engagement ring is the way to go.
Keep in mind, that the moissanite is a mineral that has the appearance of a diamond, rather than a “fake diamond”. Instead of thinking of it as a “fake diamond” appreciate the fact that you are buying a moissanite engagement ring and remove the “stigma” completely. Many jewelers now carry this stone and you many consider “ring shopping” with your intended prior to purchase to determine if your bride-to-be would rather have a small diamond gemstone engagement ring or a larger moissanite gemstone engagement ring.

Moissanite Gemstone is a Perfect Bargain Diamond
For over twenty-five years, cubic zirconia has been the go-to gemstone for those seeking a brilliant, inexpensive simulated diamond. Now moissanite, an artificial diamond so similar they literally can't be told apart by many jewelers, puts cubic zirconia to shame. If you're looking for a necklace, earrings, or even an engagement ring with the beauty of a diamond but that'll do less damage to your budget, look no further than moissanite.
History of Moissanite
Moissanite was first discovered in 1893 by Nobel Prize-winning chemist Henri Moissan in a meteor crater in Diablo Canyon, Arizona - and was mistaken for small diamond crystals. The rare mineral, called silicon carbide and later named after Moissan, was also found in other meteor sites.
In the late 1950's, moissanite was discovered for the first time in something other than a meteor impact site, in a diamond mine in Yakutia, Russia. It is found as small, natural inclusions in diamonds and other stones.
The mineral was still much too rare to be used for jewelry until 1995, when large, single moissanite crystals began to be synthesized by North Carolina company Cree Research. The gemstone hit jewelry markets in the late 1990's.
What is Moissanite?
Moissanite is the common name of a rare mineral, silicon carbide. Its clarity, hardness, and sparkle make it the best diamond replica known to exist.
The moissanite found in pendants, rings, and other jewelry is a synthetic, man made gemstone with amazing clarity, sparkle and hardness. Moissanite is nearly colorless and it is almost indistinguishable from real diamonds – making rhinestones, glass and even cubic zirconia look like the poor fakes they are. Nothing compares to a diamond… except for a moissanite.
Moissanite Engagement Rings and Other Jewelry
Moissanite is very popular in engagement rings, as well as wedding bands, necklaces, pendants, earrings, bracelets, and any other types of jewelry where diamonds might be found… at roughly a tenth of the cost of a diamond the same size.
With an appearance that literally cannot be told apart from real diamonds, moissanite is often used in settings where a real diamond might be at risk of damage or loss, such as an engagement ring that will be worn every day or a pendant on a less-than-secure chain.
Moissanite stones can also be use to create convincing replicas of real diamond jewelry that can be worn without worry, while the costly original stays at home in the safe.

Moissanite Engagement Rings: Beautiful Diamond Alternatives
Moissanite was originally from a star. Actually, the first bits of natural moissanite were found on an ancient meteorite. These were tiny crystals of silicon carbide. As Dr. Moissan found them, the moissanite was named after him. A century later, a process was developed to make larger crystals of moissanite, suitable for jewelry making.
This synthetic moissanite has since been cut like diamonds as a cheaper substitute for diamonds. Loved for its beauty and its affordable pricing, moissanite is a smart choice for the fashion savvy. Incidentally, moissanite is tougher than diamonds and is more brilliant, has a brighter fire than diamonds and a higher luster index.
Lately, I’ve been reading more and more about brides and their husbands-to-be choosing moissanite engagement rings over the typical diamond variety. Far more affordable than diamonds but even more sparkly and pretty much just as durable, moissanite is my kind of alternative.
Moissanite is a naturally occuring mineral. It definitely resembles a diamond, and holds up under pressure better than cubic zirconia.
I think it’s important to see moissanite for what it is. It’s it’s own stone, not a “fake diamond.” Purchasing a moissanite engagement ring isn’t about being cheap. It’s about being smart and loving the sparkle.
Moissanite is now regularly featured in national and international jewelry exhibitions and receives extensive coverage. Moreover, only selected authorized outlets sell moissanite jewelry, and a certificate of authenticity and lifetime warranty given by Charles & Colvard, Ltd. themselves.

Moissanite Jewelry Rings Provide Just the Right Touch
The Moissanite Ring looks like a diamond ring, it sparkles like a diamond ring and it endures like diamond ring but it is definitely not a diamond ring. How do you know it’s not a diamond ring? It’s priced like a moissanite ring. There is a buzz in the fashion industry about moissanite rings and jewelry and it’s getting around fast.
Moissanite is a mineral that was discovered over a century ago, but until a few years ago it was too rare to use as jewelry. Now, moissanite rings and jewelry are on the rise and not just because they’re a diamond “substitute.” Moissanite jewelry can actually be better looking than diamond jewelry because the stones have more “fire” and brilliance than diamonds. It’s a measurable, scientific fact. Some stones posing as diamond look-alikes, cubic zirconia for example, have some shine and sparkle, but none of them come close to the diamond, much less exceed it.
By far the biggest benefit of purchasing moissanite rings and jewelry is the cost. A three stone moissanite ring, equaling two carats will probably run right around $1000. A similar diamond ring will set you back over $5000. Investing in moissanite jewelry rings is just as safe as investing in diamonds. They are harder than any other gemstones; diamonds are the only ones still harder, and moissanite is barely behind, making them just as durable and very appropriate for everyday wear. Moissanite jewelry rings also carry lifetime warranties most of the time. And just like diamonds, moissanite holds its value.
Even though moissanite rings and jewelry are less expensive than diamonds, buying moissanite does not carry the “fake” diamond stigma, because of the high quality stones. More and more couples are choosing to purchase three stone moissanite rings instead of choosing diamonds when it comes time to make wedding decisions and celebrities like Vivica Fox, Kiko Elsworth, the members of (the former group) Destiny’s Child, and Marc Anthony are choosing to purchase and wear moissanite jewelry.
Before you purchase a moissanite ring, there are some things you will want to know. Just like diamonds, moissanite has varying color hues ranging from almost colorless to shades of green, sometimes even looking grey. Many consider this color very elegant and a green moissanite ring would be a great conversation starter but if you’re concerned about the color, be sure to examine your potential stones in varying types of light. The green hues are most visible in natural light so they might not show up under the bright lights at the jewelry store.
So when it comes time to spend some of your hard earned money on yourself and add some glitter to those hardworking hands, or if you’re looking for a special gift for a loved one, buying a moissanite ring might be the best choice you can make.

Moissanite looks like diamond, but it is definetly not a diamond. Moissanite is a silicond carbid, a mineral, which was found about a century ago. The name of moissanite is related to Henry Moissan who had done the mineral identification .
Moisanite is now getting more popular because of the lower price compare to diamonds. Althoug it is cheaper, it doesn’t mean it less beauty than diamonds. Some people may think that moissanite is a fake diamond. However moissanite is not a fake diamond. Some people may call it as a diamond substitute. Although it looks like a diamond, moissanite has its own characteristics with its unique sparkle. Some people said that moissanite actually is better looking than diamond because it has more fire and briliance. However many people can not tell the differences between moissanite and diamond.

What is Moissanite?
The reputation and popularity of moissanite earrings and jewelry continues to grow as more and more people discover this sparkling gem. Moissanite earrings and jewelry are perfect when you're looking for a beautiful gift for a friend or a treat for yourself. So what exactly is moissanite?
Although moissanite is just now beginning to make a splash in jewelry design, this unique gemstone was first found more than 100 years ago by Henri Moissan. In 1893 Moissan was investigating samples from a meteorite in Arizona when he encountered beautiful crystals that he identified as the compound silicon carbide. This substance was later given the name moissanite in honor of its discoverer. However, natural moissanite was very rare and when it did occur it was in minute quantities. Because of this, there was never enough of the gem to use in jewelry making.
Fortunately for moissanite fans, a breakthrough in 1998 made it possible to produce jewelry using moissanite. That was the year that the firm Charles and Colvard introduced a synthetic form of moissanite that was of such good quality that it could be used as a gemstone. Silicon carbide was being used in other applications, however Charles and Colvard recognized its potential for the jewelry market and developed techniques for creating a gem that so closely resembles a diamond that it has fooled jewelry experts. Charles and Colvard patented its moissanite making methods and is currently the only distributor of moissanite gems in the world.
Because it so closely resembles a diamond, moissanite is often used in jewelry as a diamond simulant. It is clear like a diamond and has the sparkle and shine that everyone loves to see in a diamond. Many feel that moissanite's variations in quality and color make it more closely resemble a true diamond than other diamond simulants such as cubic zirconia. Moissanite has a level of 9.25 on Moh's hardness scale where a diamond is a 10, a ruby is a 9, a cubic zirconia is an 8.5 and an emerald is a 7. So while it is not quite as hard as a diamond it is still very hard and harder than most other gems. This makes it resistant to scratches and chips, and likely to give the wearer years of enjoyment.
Jewelry made from moissanite makes the most of that gem's luster, brilliance and fire. Moissanite can be used in jewelry just like a diamond would be. Moissanite can be cut into popular diamond shapes such as round, marquise, square, oval, pear, princess or baguette. Moissanite can be set in earrings, rings, necklaces, bracelets and brooches just as a diamond. However, because moissanite is significantly less expensive than diamonds, a similar piece of jewelry can be had for a fraction of the price. Moissanite earrings and jewelry are available from a variety of jewelry shops and internet sites.
In addition to jewelry, silicon carbide is used in a variety of products, including semiconductors and cutting tools.

So while it is not quite as hard as a diamond it is still very hard and harder than most other gems. This makes it resistant to scratches and chips, and likely to give the wearer years of enjoyment.
Jewelry made from moissanite makes the most of that gem's luster, brilliance and fire. Moissanite can be used in jewelry just like a diamond would be. Moissanite can be cut into popular diamond shapes such as round, marquise, square, oval, pear, princess or baguette. Moissanite can be set in earrings, rings, necklaces, bracelets and brooches just as a diamond. However, because moissanite is significantly less expensive than diamonds, a similar piece of jewelry can be had for a fraction of the price. Moissanite earrings and jewelry are available from a variety of jewelry shops and internet sites.
In addition to jewelry, silicon carbide is used in a variety of products, including semiconductors and cutting tools.

Created Gemstone Jewelry
Moissanite is a created gemstone that was born from a rare geological find more than 110 years ago. Discovered by French scientist Dr. Henri Moissan, Moissanite can trace its origins to particles found in 1893 in the Canyon Diablo meteor crater in Arizona. These natural Moissanite crystals were too scarce and tiny to set into jewelry. For years, scientists tried in vain to re-create these rare and extraordinarily brilliant crystals. Only recently, through the power of advanced technology, is Moissanite now available to you.

Moissanite Jewellery, Do they Match Diamonds?
Moissanite is a crystal, originally found inside a meteorite, which is today created in a specialist lab to produce a gem which is virtually identical to a diamond. Created out of silicon and carbon using a thermal process, Moissanite can be cut into the familiar patterns of gems, and set into metals the same as any other kind of crystal. Since they are man made, Moissanite bracelets and other jewellery are a lot cheaper than items made with traditional gemstones such as diamonds.
It is common to see Moissanite items compared with similar diamond jewellery; Moissanite wedding bands, for example, are often described as replacements for the traditional diamond ring. In fact, the crystal is very popular in its own right, being worn by both movie stars and catwalk models. The natural fire of Moissanite has attracted these celebrities, and a Moissanite bracelet looks as good as a diamond one. In fact, a platinum Moissanite ring is likely to have a better shine and lustre than a typical diamond, while still looking natural. Unlike Gem replacements such as cubic zirconia, moissanite jewellery actually has colour, which means that it does not have the fake, Christmas-cracker look of diamond replacement items. There are many good reasons to buy Moissanite.
A Moissanite bracelet will be about the tenth of the price of a similar diamond bracelet, and the Moissanite is unlikely to fade in time. Moissanite is almost as hard as a diamond, and this scratch-resistance and durability means that it in the long term it is also cheaper than many of the fake diamonds on offer. Moissanite has a higher refractive content than a diamond, and this gives it the shine and brilliance which attracts many people to this gem. Moissanite actually has more fire and brilliance than a real diamond, and because it contains a slight amount of colour, even jewellers find it hard to tell the difference through appearance alone. Moissanite jewels can be cut into any gemstone cut, and from there mounted on any metal items, looking exactly like the much more expensive diamond encrusted jewellery. There is no reason, therefore, why a woman should not wear Moissanite bracelets or jewellery, assured that her items will not look fake, nor fade or loose value with time. As a fashion statement, or a perfect accessory, Moissanite can match diamonds for glitz, glamour and sustainability whatever the occasion.

Cubic Zirconias and Moissanite
Cubic Zirconias and moissanite have just one thing in common, they are both jewels. Of course they can both be used to make pretty jewellery but other then that they are just both jewels. Cubic Zirconias are good sellers when it comes to the jewellery market. They are fairly cheap to purchase and they are just as cheap to maintain. After all you do not want to buy jewellery and then watch it fade away after a few months. Cubic zirconias and moissanite are actually pretty hard to get a hold of. Many jewellers do find it hard to keep up with the demand for these jewels. Which can be strange because they are at the opposite ends of the spectrum. Cubic Zirconias are as already stated cheap to purchase, whereas moissanite is very expensive to purchase. If you want to go all out and buy moissanite diamonds jewellery then you are going to be paying a lot for that pleasure.
Moissanite diamonds sets of jewellery are just as hard to get hold of as moissanite jewellery itself. However these moissanite diamonds are the greatest pieces of jewellery that you can purchase. These moissanite diamonds will have diamonds around the outside and the moissanite itself will be the centre piece. Imagine the look on that special someone’s face when they open their present to see a gorgeous moissanite diamonds ring. There is nothing else better to give to someone for their special day. You can get moissanite diamonds engagement rings, wedding rings and even anniversary rings. So for that ultimate special occasion you can be prepared and by giving your partner a stunning gift like a moissanite diamonds ring you know that this gift will be greatly appreciated by the recipient.
Cubic Zirconias also have the same effect on the recipient. They do look very nice and cubic zirconias can also be used on rings and pendants. If you do not know much about jewels then you can easily confuse a cubic zirconia jewel for a diamond jewel. But you will notice the difference when you feel the weight of each of these jewels. A cubic zirconia is 3 times more heavier then a diamond jewel and this means that almost anyone can tell the difference between a cubic zirconia and a diamond when they hold them. But when looking at them it is almost impossible to tell the difference if you do not know what to look for.

Moissanite Ring, With a Large Crystal On a Tight Budget
First discovered inside a meteor at the end of the nineteenth century, Moissanite crystals were thought of as far too rare and inaccessible to ever make suitable jewellery. However, since the 1990's, Moissanite has been created in laboratories, and has since become a very popular and widely-available gemstone. The reasons for its popularity stem in part from its affordability and its great resemblance to diamond. It has a shine and lustre comparable to any historical gem, and makes a great jewel in its own right. Many women appreciate the crystal for its brilliance, and Moissanite jewellery is now a very fashionable item to have.
Moissanite engagement rings are much less expensive than the traditional diamond ring, and they have a more durable surface than a cubic zirconia. Moissanite rings have a brilliance and fire that some people say is greater than a diamonds.

It is in fact more expensive than the latter synthetic crystal, though some still feel that a Moissanite ring is simply another diamond replacement.

People have come to feel that Moissanite rings are beautiful and attractive in their own right, as fashions change. A platinum Moissanite ring is popular with movie stars and supermodels alike and these classy pieces of jewellery look set to increase in value as they age.
