Light Up the Night with a Stone of the Stars

Possessing fire, brilliance and luster that far surpass that of a diamond, this Nobel Prize winner's discovery twinkles

Hoping to light up the night with the one you love? Look no further than our Starstruck Moissanite Ring! This sparkling band boasts nearly two carats of moissanite in yellow gold-finished .925 sterling silver. The only thing that has more dazzle is the night sky itself, which is where moissanite hails from.

What is moissanite? Why, it’s only the crowning discovery of a Nobel Prize-winning scientist! In 1893, French chemist Henri Moissan discovered moissanite while examining samples from a 50,000-year-old meteorite in Canyon Diablo, Arizona.

The most brilliant fine stone on Earth. According to the GIA (Gemological Institute of America), moissanite outperforms all other jewels in terms of brilliance, fire and luster. Brilliance comes from the flashes of white light exiting the top and sides of the gemstone. This light show is known as refraction. Moissanite has a “double refraction” — which means light goes down into this stone and comes out not once, but twice. No diamond can do this. The way the light dances inside moissanite is something to behold.

The genius of affordability. A one-carat diamond of this color and clarity sells for more than $5,000. Two years ago, moissanite was over $1,000 a carat. Now, for the first time in history, Stauer gemologists have perfected the science of romance. Our team of scientists and craftsmen has mastered this innovative process, enabling us to price two carats of moissanite at this price. It’s pure genius. Our Nobel Prize-winning chemist would be proud.
