In recent years, expert gem cutters, jewelers, and gemologists have begun turning to moissanite as the ideal diamond alternative. To the naked eye, moissanite appears to be just as, if not even more, brilliant than its expensive counterpart: diamond. In a simple traditional thermal probe test, moissanite will even register as a diamond. That's why the Moissanite Labs uses sophisticated electrical conductivity testing on our gems.
Although naturally originating from meteors and discovered in 1893 by Henri Moissan, moissanite is now made in cutting-edge laboratories using advanced processes. The creation process is lengthy, complex, and expensive, which means that it can take up to 2-3 months to produce a single gem. Once grown, the single crystals of moissanite can then be faceted just like any other gemstone, producing a brilliant gem without the markups and ethical issues related to the diamond industry. Every gem from Moissanite Labs is conflict-free and doesn't require land exploitation and dirty mining that harms our planet.
That's why we started Moissanite Labs. We're on a mission to share moissanite, the world's most-beautiful conflict-free gem, with the world. If you're ready to shop or just want to explore our collection, click here to view our premium moissanite gems.
