The History and Symbolism of Moissanite: A Gemstone Like No Other
Moissanite, a gemstone with a fascinating history and deep symbolism, has captivated jewelers and gem enthusiasts alike. At Arla Jewels, we are excited to share the unique story behind moissanite and why it stands out in the world of fine jewelry.
The Discovery of Moissanite
Moissanite was first discovered in 1893 by French chemist Henri Moissan, who found it in a meteorite crater. Originally thought to be diamond, it was later identified as a distinct mineral composed of silicon carbide. The gemstone’s extraterrestrial origins add to its allure and mystique.
Unique Characteristics of Moissanite
Moissanite is renowned for its remarkable brilliance and fire. With a refractive index higher than that of diamonds, it exhibits extraordinary sparkle and rainbow-like flashes. Its hardness, scoring 9.25 on the Mohs scale, makes it a durable and resilient choice for daily wear.
The Symbolism Behind Moissanite
Moissanite symbolizes love and eternity, much like diamonds. Its dazzling brilliance represents an eternal bond, making it a popular choice for engagement rings and significant life milestones. The gemstone's rarity and unique origin also symbolize rarity and uniqueness, setting it apart from other gemstones.
Moissanite vs. Diamond: Why Choose Moissanite?
While diamonds have long been the traditional choice for engagement rings, moissanite offers an ethical and affordable alternative. Lab-created moissanite ensures no environmental harm or ethical concerns associated with mining. It also provides exceptional value for those seeking the look and feel of a diamond at a more accessible price.
Incorporating Moissanite into Your Jewelry Collection
Moissanite is versatile and can be used in various jewelry pieces, from elegant engagement rings to stylish earrings and necklaces. Its unique sparkle makes it a standout choice for those looking to add a touch of brilliance and distinction to their jewelry collection.
