At Stauer, we live for gems that shake up the jewelry world. Gems that redefine what fire and brilliance truly mean. Long popular with jewelers, moissanite has only recently become known more broadly for its exceptional dazzle. When French chemist Henri Moissan discovered an incredibly rare mineral in a 50,000-year-old meteorite, little did he know the amazing chain of events that would follow. Along with winning a Nobel Prize, he gave the world a stone that outperforms all jewels in terms of its brilliance, fire and luster, according to the Gemological Institute of America. In colored varieties, this vibrant brilliance becomes even more striking, creating a gemstone that glows from every angle. High-quality natural-colored gems like emeralds, sapphires and fancy diamonds can run you tens of thousands of dollars. Colored moissanite offers similar vivid color, with superior fire, at a fraction of the cost. With Stauer in your corner, you can take home this stellar gemstone for a price that is simply out of this world.
