6 Facts about Moissanite Jewelry

Before you shop for moissanite jewelry online, get the information you need from Joseph Schubach Jewelers. With nearly 100 years of fine jewelry experience, we can help you make the right choices.

Designed to look, feel and reflect light like a diamond, moissanite by Charles & Colvard has been gaining popularity worldwide since its introduction to the fine jewelry market in 1998. Unlike Cubic Zirconia and other diamond imitations, moissanite (sometimes mistakingly referred to or advertised as 'moissanite synthetic diamonds') are virtually undetectable - even to a trained eye. Read on for the top six facts about moissanite jewelry.

The second-hardest stone in the world. Moissanite is so durable, it's nearly as hard as a diamond. While a diamond score a 10 on the hardness scale, moissanite comes in just below at 9 1/4. In fact, it's harder than sapphire or ruby. When you shop our moissanite rings on sale, you never have to worry about them scuffing or scratching - just like a natural diamond.
More brilliant than a diamond. It's true - moissanite actually offers more brilliance and fire than natural diamonds. When light enters a diamond, it bends and refracts back out of the gem. But moissanite goes one step farther. When light enters the stone, it breaks in two, increasing its refraction - so you get more dazzle from your moissanite jewelry.
Nearly colorless. On the diamond color scale, moissanite appears in the near colorless range, making moissanite engagement rings a very popular choice. Ranging from nearly colorless to a very faint yellow, moissanite tends to appear nearly white in a gold, platinum or white gold setting.
No one has to know. Moissanite tests positive for diamond on traditional thermal probes, so even expert jewelers were fooled when the stone first came out. While today's more advanced testing can now detect moissanite, even a trained eye can't discern it from looks alone. When you buy moissanite jewelry online from Joseph Schubach Jewelers, it's just between you and us.
More affordable - and safe. You can buy moissanite jewelry online for one-tenth the price of a comparable diamond. Whether you're on a budget or simply want the dazzle of diamonds without the risk of wearing such high-priced gems, moissanite is a great alternative.
