Moissanite is a very rare, almost colourless crystal with the same chemical composition as diamond. Moissanite Diamond Jewelry is manufactured by heat treatment of carbon with very high pressure and temperature. The heat treatment process consists of a cup-shaped piece of highly compressed graphite placed into a furnace. The graphite heats to approximately 1,100 degrees Celsius (2,172 degrees Fahrenheit) and then cools down rapidly. This process causes the graphite to undergo a phase transition (similar to diamond), and thus Moissanite is created.
Moissanite was discovered in 1893 by Henri Moissan. He mined and processed it near the village of Bohain-en-Vermandois in the Somme department of Northern France from small metal nodules he found in a rock formation called carbon vanadium.
The Moissanite is a synthetic diamond imitation. It is the ring's most brilliant and most precious gemstone. A synthetic diamond has been known worldwide since 1925, when it was invented. Today, Moissanite engagement rings is being used in rings because of its superior properties over natural diamonds, such as light refraction. The colourless stones are extremely hard (DVS1), more secure than lab-created diamonds, and polished for added brilliance. Moissanites possess a very high refractive index (~2.5) in addition to their excellent hardness; thus, they are very good at reflecting light without any dark spots. Two main forms of Moissanite have been developed: the natural (natural-white) variety and the enhanced (enhanced-white) variety. In the US, moissanites are manufactured by both natural and enhanced-white moissanites.
The advantages of Moissanite are: its performance, durability and reliability. It has a hardness of 9.25 on the Mohs hardness scale, virtually the same as that of a diamond. It exhibits almost no colour change when exposed to heat and has high refraction of 2.42 – 2.43, and is also known to be more brilliant than diamond. These qualities make it perfect for use in rings and other jewellery settings as it will look as good as a diamond with minimal maintenance. moissanite wedding bands is approximately 20 - 30% less expensive than diamond and can be cut, polished, and set the same way as diamonds.
Moissanite is a type of mineral crystal. It's chemically pure silicon carbide which is used in industrial applications. Sometimes referred to as a lab-grown diamond, Moissanite is used in industrial applications. Moissanite stones are created through a process of compressing carbon. This process creates a very pure substance with excellent optical clarity, fire and sparkle and very little in the way of hardness (compared to a diamond). Moissanite Earrings is a lab-grown diamond in which certain elements are substituted for the carbon structure of a diamond. It has the same hexagonal symmetry as natural diamonds and can use it in jewellery and industrial applications. Mined from a rare, naturally occurring mineral called Moissanite, this stone is created using a high-pressure treatment at an extremely high temperature. Moissanites are not mined from the earth. Rather, they are created in a highly specialized lab setting by treating diamonds under high pressure and intense heat with certain chemical compounds for several hours. The flawlessness of this stone is comparable to that of a natural diamond. It also has an attractive fire that adds to its beauty and value as a gem. Out other moissanite diamond jewelry is ,
