Why Moissanite

The Brilliance of Moissanite

Exceptional beauty. Extraordinary brilliance. A gemstone all its own.

Moissanite is one of the most captivating gemstones in the world, celebrated for its incredible sparkle, remarkable durability, and extraordinary fire. While it has the look of a traditional diamond, moissanite has its own unique character—and that is part of what makes it so special.

A Gemstone Built to Last

Will Moissanite Pass a Diamond Tester?

This is one of the questions we hear most often.

Many traditional thermal diamond testers can register moissanite as a diamond. That's because moissanite has thermal properties similar to diamond. However, specialized testers designed to distinguish moissanite from diamond can identify the difference.

So if you've ever heard that moissanite "passes a diamond tester," there's some truth to it—but the type of tester matters.

The Difference You Can See

Under magnification, one of the most distinctive differences is double refraction.

Moissanite is doubly refractive, meaning light entering the gemstone can split into two rays. When viewed through the stone with magnification, facets and edges may appear slightly doubled.

Diamond is singly refractive, so it does not produce that same doubled-facet effect.

It's a fascinating optical characteristic—and one of the subtle details that makes moissanite uniquely beautiful.
