The Moissanite is slowly gaining traction and if you
haven’t heard of them yet…get ready because you should be hearing a lot more of
them soon.
What is a Moissanite? A little googling will probably
answer a bunch of questions and raise a few more. The simple answer is, they
are a gemstone and a really good Diamond alternative. So why all the hype?
Well… we should mention they are a fraction of the price ( around 10% the cost
of a Diamond if not less ) They sparkle just as much in fact some sparkle a
hell of a lot more considering a lot of Diamonds aren’t of a higher colour,
clarity and cut like the Moissanite is produced in. They are also just as
durable sitting at around the 9.5 mark on the Mohs scale of hardness next to
the Diamond at 10.
Usually after explaining what they are the next
question most people ask is where do they come from? Are they natural stones.
In
1893 at the site of a massive meteorite strike in Arizona Moissanite was
discovered. The natural Moissanite found in these meteors were so small they
were used by Scientists in Research Triangle Park, North Carolina later to
develop the thermal growing process that creates silicon carbide crystals,
which are fashioned into moissanite gemstones.
Because
Moissanites are grown in controlled environments using advanced technology,
moissanites require absolutely no mining to produce. Their origins are
therefore traceable and entirely eco friendly.
Compared
with natural gemstones, moissanites have a much smaller carbon footprint
and result in less environmental impact. Fine jewelry made with moissanites and
eco friendly metals meets the very highest environmental standards.
Moissanites are now becoming one of the most purchased
Diamond alternatives and in some cases the first choice. We can see from recent
trends that even prior to the Covid 19 huge power houses like De Beers has seen
major declines in natural Diamond sales, even as much as 35%.
Australia is now starting to catch up in this trend
which is quickly becoming mainstream. I Heart Moissanites – www.iheartmoissanites.com.au is a fabulous retailer who specializes in Moissanite
