Charles And Colvard Moissanite | Everything You Need To Know

Move over diamonds, there’s another white gemstone that should be on your radar and it’s called moissanite. While it has been around for years, I am so excited to share what Charles And Colvard moissanite is, and how they are redefining how we think about fine jewelry.

What is Moissanite

Firstly, while moissanite may look similar to a diamond, its a unique gemstone in it’s own right, and should be viewed as so. moissanite is made from Silicon Carbide which was first discovered from a meteor crater over 100 years ago. Because this gemstone is so rare, it can only be reproduced in a lab. Charles And Colvard are the original creators of lab produced moissanite and have been dedicated to creating these gemstones in a socially responsible way.

Moissanite has so many features that make it such a desirable gem. First, its the world’s most sparkling gem. It refracts more light than a diamond and gives off fire dispersions 4x more than any other gem. If you are looking for something to really sparkle, moissanite is for you.

Another benefit of moissanite is its durability. When I look for a jewelry piece for everyday wear, it has to stand up to the daily grind. Moissanite ranks a 9.25 on the MOH hardness scale which comes in second to a diamond. I love having the ease of mind that it can withstand wear for years.

Since moissanite is made in a lab, the cost compared to a diamond is significantly less and it is completely ethically made.

If you are looking to purchase moissanite, Charles And Colvard are the originators and have the highest trust when it comes to crafting their jewelry. Not only do they sell wedding and engagement rings, they also have fine jewelry for gifts or something special for yourself.

What I’m Wearing

The piece that I am wearing is the Forever One 0.50CTW Step Cut Baguette Channel in 14K White Gold. Forever One is Charles And Colvard’s highest quality moissanite which is colorless, highly durable, and flawless to the naked eye. Considering the sparkle, price, and this gemstone to be completely ethically made it should definitely be on your radar!
