Moissanite, though often compared to diamonds, is a gem with its own remarkable characteristics that make it just as rare and beautiful. Originally discovered in a meteorite crater by the French chemist Henri Moissan in 1893, natural moissanite is exceedingly rare, far rarer than diamonds in nature.

From an aesthetic standpoint, moissanite rivals diamonds with its brilliance and fire. In fact, moissanite disperses light more effectively, meaning it can appear even more dazzling than a diamond under certain lighting conditions. Its refractive index is higher than that of diamonds, giving it a more intense sparkle. The gem's toughness and durability are also on par with diamonds, scoring 9.25 on the Mohs scale of hardness (just below diamonds' perfect 10), making it ideal for everyday wear, particularly in engagement rings.
