What is a Moissanite?

Originally discovered in meteorites, moissanite jewelry enchants everyday life with more sparkle than diamonds and similar long-lasting hardness.

Moissanite FAQ
Why Moissanite Jewelry?

Moissanite not only has double refraction, but it also offers a brilliant sparkle that surpasses diamonds. With its diamond-like hardness, the jewelry is durable and made for the hustle and bustle of everyday life. It is also significantly more affordable than diamond jewelry and laboratory-grown without mining.
Is moissanite jewelry durable?

Yes, moissanite is very durable. Moissanite is almost as hard as a diamond (9.25 vs. 10 on the Mohs scale). This means that moissanite jewelry will retain its brilliance even with daily wear.

Why we only use real photos?

At Moissanite Mode, authenticity and passion are paramount. We exclusively use genuine, lovingly crafted photographs – no computer-generated images. Each stone and every piece of jewelry is carefully staged to highlight its natural beauty and unique sparkle. We invest a great deal of heart and effort to provide a shopping experience that builds trust and showcases the true quality of our Moissanite jewelry. Our goal is not just to sell jewelry, but to give a piece of joy and special moments.
Where does moissanite come from?

Moissanite was originally discovered in 1893 in a meteorite. However, natural moissanite is one of the rarest gemstones ever and only occurs in microscopic crystals. Since these are naturally not suitable for jewelry, moissanite for jewelry is now grown under controlled laboratory conditions. This creates jewelry-quality gemstones with exceptional purity, high hardness, and a more intense sparkle than diamonds.
Is moissanite jewelry suitable as a gift?

Yes, absolutely. Many people aren't even familiar with moissanite and don't know that there's jewelry that sparkles even more brilliantly than a diamond. This is precisely what makes for a special gift that surprises and creates lasting memories. Due to its diamond-like hardness, moissanite remains radiant and sparkling for many years, so the gift still sparkles just as brightly years later as it did on the first day.
How much does a Moissanite cost?

Moissanite is significantly more affordable than diamonds, often only a fraction of the price. Despite the lower price, it sparkles even brighter and has almost the same hardness as diamond. It offers the best value for money for sparkling jewelry that lasts and makes a lasting impression.

Moissanite, Diamond, or Cubic Zirconia?

Diamond is the classic, moissanite impresses with an even more intense sparkle, and zirconia cannot compete in terms of brilliance, hardness, and durability.

Explanation of the terms in the table

Hardness (Mohs Scale)
The Mohs scale shows the scratch resistance of a gemstone. A harder stone can scratch a softer stone, but not vice versa. Diamond (10) can scratch moissanite and zirconia, moissanite (9.25) can scratch zirconia, while zirconia (8-8.5) cannot scratch either.

Refractive Index
The refractive index describes how much light is deflected when it enters a material. A well-known example is a straw in water, which appears bent due to light refraction. The higher the refractive index, the more the straw is bent. In gemstones, a higher refractive index causes light to be guided more strongly inside and reflected by the facets – this creates more light reflections and more brilliance. The value is not a scale with fixed starting and ending values like the Mohs scale (1–10), but a measured value of the optical properties of a material.

Dispersion (Fire/Rainbow Effect)
Dispersion describes how strongly a gemstone splits incoming light into its individual colours. The value is again not a rating scale, but a measured value of the optical properties of a material. The higher the value, the more strongly the individual colours of the incoming light are separated and the more intense coloured flashes of light (fire/rainbow effect) can occur. Moissanite thus exhibits a particularly pronounced fire.

Double Refraction
Double refraction is a natural material property of a gemstone – either a stone has it or it does not. In double refraction, an incoming light ray is split into two inside the stone. Back to the example with the straw in water: If the water had double refraction, the straw would appear doubled. This creates additional optical effects and a special sparkle that makes moissanite even more special. Diamond and zirconia do not possess this property.

Moissanite Mode

Moissanite Mode stands for authentic photos – no AI, no artificial effects. All shots are taken by us, with our own macro shots and occasionally with our jumping spiders. This way, Moissanite jewelry is shown exactly as it truly looks. We primarily use 925 silver, very often refined with 18K white gold – materials that optimally highlight the clear, cool brilliance of Moissanite in real light.

Moissanite jewelry is meant to be worn. It should accompany, sweeten memories, and re-enchant everyday life. Pieces that don't need to be spared but naturally become part of one's life – timeless, durable, and wearable every day.

This is exactly what we show here. Our shots are taken in real light and in real life. Real moments with real Moissanite jewelry – as it is worn and how it shines every day.
