Thank you Moi Moi Fine Jewellery for sharing with us…
Moissanite is quickly becoming one of the most sought after jewels for engagement rings and chances are you didn’t hear about it until only recently. Moissanite is a unique jewel that is nearly identical to a diamond, yet is not related to diamonds at all. These jewels are made from the natural mineral, Silicon Carbide, as opposed to diamonds which are made from
Carbon.
Moi Moi is Australia’s first and only dedicated Moissanite and lab-grown diamond store.
Their signature SUPERNOVA Moissanite is the best quality Moissanite available. It is colourless, has VSS clarity and will last forever.
We spoke with Moi Moi’s Founders Alana Weirick and Lauren Sommer to discuss why brides should think about choosing Moissanite for their engagement ring.
1. More Beauty
What we all look for in a jewel is the sparkle. You can scientifically measure how much brilliance (refractive index), fire (dispersion) and lustre (shine) a jewel has and SUPERNOVA Moissanite has so much more sparkle than any other jewel, including diamonds! In fact it has more than 2.5 times the fire of a diamond.
2. Lasts a Lifetime
SUPERNOVA Moissanite will last you a lifetime and will shine bright always, just as bright as the day you bought it. Because Moissanite is made from a natural mineral, Silicon Carbide, it will never change its appearance. SUPERNOVA Moissanite is incredibly tough and durable. The Mohs hardness scale is the measurement of a mineral’s hardness and SUPERNOVA Moissanite scores a 9.25 out of 10, making it harder than Sapphires and Rubies. This is important as an engagement ring is
something that is worn everyday and you don’t want it to scratch or chip easily.
3. The Conflict Free & Ethical Choice
Another major appeal of SUPERNOVA Moissanite is its ethical nature. Owning a lab-grown jewel means that it has a guaranteed source of origin. Unlike blood diamonds that have helped fund civil wars, SUPERNOVA Moissanite is 100% conflict-free and ethically sourced.
If you value making ethical and socially responsible choices then SUPERNOVA Moissanite is the jewel for you.
4. Environmentally Conscious
Mined jewels have been harvested from mines that cause environmental impact and degradation. Even though our SUPERNOVA Moissanite is made using electricity, the environmental impact from making them is insignificant compared to mining a diamond.
The major benefit of purchasing a SUPERNOVA Moissanite jewel is the guaranteed source of its origin. When you own a SUPERNOVA Moissanite you can have peace of mind knowing that your jewel was created conflict free, in a controlled environment and with very little damage caused to the environment.
5. Value
The icing on the cake with this gorgeous jewel is that it’s much more affordable compared to a mined diamond of the same quality and size. Typically SUPERNOVA Moissanite will cost you 90 – 95% less than a mined diamond, making it incredible value for money. With SUPERNOVA Moissanite being so much more affordable, soon to be brides can have the engagement ring of their absolute dreams without breaking the bank.
