Moissanite

WHAT IS MOISSANITE?

When we think of moissanite, brilliance and fire are the first things that come to mind. Moissanite was initially discovered in a meteorite crater by Dr. Henri Moissan and was later named in his honor. This gemstone is now lab-created to offer an eco-friendly and ethical alternative to traditional gemstones. Known for its extraordinary sparkle, moissanite is a popular choice for those seeking something unique and modern.

HOW TO TAKE CARE OF YOUR MOISSANITE JEWELRY

To keep your moissanite jewelry sparkling, remove it when cleaning, showering, or engaging in physical activities. Avoid contact with body oils, sweat, and lotions that can build up on the stone and dull its brilliance. Clean your moissanite jewelry with mild dish soap and water, soaking it for a minute and gently buffing it with a soft cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals to maintain its beauty.
