Moissanite has come a long way since its blockbuster debut in 1893 when French scientist Henri Moissan discovered it in a meteor crater. Later in Moissan’s career, he won a Nobel Prize for his vast work, with moissanite becoming his namesake. One could say two stars were born that day.
Moissanite is a great alternative to a mined diamond for several notable reasons. According to the Gemological Institute of America, moissanite outperforms all jewels in terms of brilliance, fire and luster. Plus, moissanite has “double refraction,” which means light goes down into the stone and comes out not once, but twice. No diamond can do this. You know what else is impressive? The price. Moissanite makes owning more carats of diamond-rivaling sparkle affordable without compromising color and clarity.
Twenty-six emerald-cut moissanite gemstones create a shimmering tennis bracelet that promises to up your romantic game. Once she sees moissanite in action, she’ll have a hard time going back to diamonds.
