When you want to tell her you love her to the moon and back, let a gemstone born from the stars do the talking. The story begins in 1893, when French scientist Henri Moissan, discovered moissanite in samples of rock from a 50,000 year-old meteorite in Canyon Diablo, Arizona. Later in Moissan’s career, he won a Nobel Peace Prize for his vast work, with moissanite becoming his namesake.
Moissanite is extremely rare in nature. But, thankfully scientists have perfected the creation of this exceptional gem right here on Earth. According to the GIA (Gemological Institute of America), moissanite outperforms all jewels in terms of its brilliance, fire, and luster. Moissanite has “double refraction”–– meaning light goes down into the stone and comes out not once, but twice. No diamond can do this.
Here moissanite solitaires shine bright from discs of luminous mother-of-pearl, creating an elegant interpretation of the moon and stars. Adding to the allure, these pieces are handcrafted in the land of romance –– Italy. You know what else makes this stone out of this world? The price. There are necklaces with a ½ carat moissanite stone selling for $750. With Stauer in your corner, you can delight her with double the carat of the same diamond-rivaling sparkle for less! Now, get ready for some stargazing in the moonlight.
